Revenge has never been so sweet.

ABC announced today that it's ordered full seasons of Emily VanCamp's delicious drama Revenge and the new quirky comedy Suburgatory. Happy Endings (one of our favorites) also got good news today: ABC is ordering six additional scripts for the ensemble series' second season...

Last night was a stellar one for ABC ratings-wise: Revenge won its demo, and the show is consistently performing well by averaging 8.8 millions total viewers. Suburgatory debuted strong and is holding steady at an average of 9.8 million viewers a week. Meanwhile, Happy Endings grabbed their highest ratings ever last night: 7.5 million.

ABC's Wednesday night is turning into must-see TV, with Modern Family and The Middle also consistent in their time slots. But the bigger picture question is: What show must go to make room for all the midseason series?

Are you excited for full seasons of Revenge and Suburgatory? Are you happy you'll be getting more Happy Endings (you're welcome for the pun)? Which ABC show do you think is in trouble? Head on down to the comments and be heard.
