Full-Season Orders for ABC's Brothers, CBS' Home

ABC likes Sally Field, they really like her. As such, the network has greenlit Brothers & Sisters for a full season, making the family drama its second series (after Ugly Betty) to get that back-nine boost. B&S is this fall's second-highest rated new series in the 18-49 demo, behind only NBC's Heroes. CBS, meanwhile, has granted Close to Home, which is up 5 percent in total viewers  if not rather unrecognizable  compared to its freshman year, a full-season order, as well.
