Dancing, Housewives, Lost, among 12 returning ABC series

NEW YORK – There’s no suspense for producers of 12 ABC prime-time series. The network on Thursday renewed them for next fall’s schedule.

Most are no surprises. They include “Dancing With the Stars,” “Desperate Housewives,” “Grey’s Anatomy” and “Lost.” There were some thoughts that “Ugly Betty” was on the bubble, but it’s on for another season.

Other series to get renewals are “America’s Funniest Home Videos,” “The Bachelor,” “Brothers & Sisters,” “Extreme Makeover: Home Edition,” “Private Practice,” “Supernanny” and “Wife Swap.”

That leaves many shows that will have to wait until next month to learn their fate, including Christina Applegate’s “Samantha Who?” and all of ABC’s midseason series.
