Will 'Agents of SHIELD' be the first fall series to earn full-season pickup?

There are two games that we love to see played when it comes to the fall season and the lineup of shows: Trying to figure out what is going to be the first thing picked up for a full season, and then also trying to figure out what is going to be the first thing to be canceled outright.

Its 4.7 rating in the 18-49 demographic (live+same-day viewing) was the biggest debut for any series in years, and with the live+3 data included, that rating has gone up almost to a 6.5 rating. The only show that probably fared better in this metric during premiere week was the monster known as "." While the budget for this show has to be a high, and early pickup here would be something valuable to the franchise so that the writers can already start to ponder over just what they want to do next.




The irony here is that we would not be shocked to see ABC's Tuesday night lineup have the first major success story and the first canceled show. We don't know what they were thinking in the first place putting "Lucky 7on this night. It has no real connection to Marvel at all, and it managed this past week to squander a huge percentage of its lead-in to the point that even "Low Winter Sun" could relate on a certain level.



, and the question we will ask of you is this: Do you think that this will be the first show picked up for a full year? Be sure to share your thoughts below!
