'Dirty Sexy Money' gets full season
Order marks first back-nine pick-up since strike

By MICHAEL SCHNEIDER

ABC has given a full season order to "Dirty Sexy Money,"
one of the year's new critical darlings.

The "Dirty Sexy Money" order marks the first back-nine pick-up since writers
went on strike two weeks ago. Such a move would seem odd, since there's no
guarantee "Dirty Sexy Money" will even complete its initial 13-seg order,
given the work stoppage.

But Alphabet execs are high on the show, which has been collecting buzz and
turning into a sleeper surprise for the net.

Plus, an ABC spokesperson said the net is still hoping that the strike can be
resolved in time to jumpstart production before the end of the season.

"Dirty Sexy Money" stars Peter Krause as an attorney who winds up inheriting
his father's live-long gig as private counsel to the eccentric,
mind-numbingly wealthy Darling clan. Donald Sutherland stars as the Darling
patriarch, with Jill Clayburgh as his wife. William Baldwin, Natalie Zea,
Glenn Fitzgerald, Samaire Armstrong, and Seth Gabel play the Darling
offspring, while Zoe McLellan portrays Krause's wife.

Craig Wright created "Dirty Sexy Money" and exec produces with Greg Berlanti,
Josh Reims, Matthew Gross and Bruan Singer. ABC Studios is behind the show.

Season to date, "Dirty Sexy Money" has averaged a 3.6 rating/10 share with
adults 18-49 after seven airings, and 9.6 million viewers overall.

"Dirty Sexy Money" reps the fourth frosh skein to score a full season pickup
from ABC; Alphabet has also given back nines to "Pushing Daisies," "Samantha
Who?" and "Private Practice."
