Upfronts: "Old Christine" picked up, still awaiting the fate of "Moonlight"

JulialouisdreyfusShe made it! Word is that CBS has given a full-season pickup to Julia Louis-Dreyfus starrer "The New Adventures of Old Christine." Pickup of the Warner Bros. TV comedy for a fourth season lends more credence to the notion that the Eye intends to open up a new comedy block next season. The betting is on Tuesday or Wednesday nights from 8-9 p.m.

Meanwhile, another Warner Bros. TV show on the bubble at CBS, vampire drama "Moonlight," is still awaiting the final word on its primetime mortality.

I'm in my 30s, and I love Moonlight! My sister and her family love it too, but none of us counts in the Nielsen ratings. I hope that CBS makes the right decision, and renews Moonlight for a second season. And if they could get a writer like Craig Silverstein on board, they could get a lot more of an even tone on the show, to help make up for all the behind-the-scenes turmoil.
