How to Get Away with Murder's full season is more just a symbolic gesture since it will only be 15 episodes, as designed. Still, it's been an absolute beast as the top demo performer for a new show, plus it added two full demo points in L+3 DVR ratings from last week. It has actually built on its Scandal lead-in in total viewers the first two weeks, and it has a ton of online buzz. Black-ish was picked up for the full 22 episodes. After a strong debut, it had a pretty sharp fall in week two, but then recovered a strong three tenths in the demo this week even as its Modern Family lead-in went down. It's early, but it's looking like the best Family retainer yet and it fits very nicely into ABC's family comedy lineup.
A couple other strong freshmen will probably get similar news before too long, including Scorpion and NCIS: New Orleans and possibly Madam Secretary for CBS and The Mysteries of Laura for NBC. Gotham is sure to get something too, but it could be a second season renewal since it had a limited order planned from the beginning. Among the other ABC shows that have premiered, Manhattan Love Story is as good as dead while the jury's still out for Forever and Selfie. Final fall entry Cristela premieres tomorrow night.
