NBC is wasting no time in giving green lights to four freshman series. Dramas Law & Order: Los Angeles, The Event and Chase – as well as the new comedy Outsourced have been given a full season by the network.

It’s a smart move after last year’s Jay Leno primetime experiment debacle.

This season’s lineup has demonstrated a strong showing with viewers, particularly The Event, which is pulling in roughly 6-million viewers each week.

Law & Order: Los Angeles is shaping up to be a viable installment in the Law & Order franchise with 8.7-million viewers.

NBC is also putting faith in the idea that Outsourced, which is part of the network’s Thursday night comedy block and Chase, which has modest numbers averaging 5 mil, both have the potential to grow.

It’s also good to hear that NBC has given a full season to the action spy-comedy, Chuck, which has had stable numbers hovering around the 5-million viewer range.
