ABC Picks Up Additional Episodes of THE GOLDBERGS, TROPHY WIFE, and SUPER FUN NIGHT, But Passes on Extending BACK IN THE GAME

ABC handed out good news to three of its freshman comedies and bad news to another: THE GOLDBERGS and TROPHY WIFE have been picked up for full first seasons (which means they got an additional nine episodes ordered), while SUPER FUN NIGHT got an additional four episodes ordered for its freshman run.

The only bad news of the night comes for BACK IN THE GAME. Co-creator Robb Cullen tweeted: “So, ABC has decided NOT 2 move forward w @BackInTheGameTV 2 all of u fangles and friends, I can’t begin 2 thank u for all of ur support.”
