Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. to get full season

ABC has ordered 9 more episodes from Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. to round out a full 22-episode season. The superhero based show is being boasted as one of the best new shows on television and opened as the highest rated show in four years averaging around $7 million viewers per episode. This will mark Joss Whedon's first full season since The WB yanked Angel off the air in 2004 and Dollhouse went off after two seasons.

Agents becomes the third fall premiere show to be picked up for a full season. Others include Sleepy Hollow on Fox and The Blacklist on NBC. 

Agent Coulson to return in S.H.I.E.L.D. television show

Joss Whedon has confirmed that Agent Phil Coulson played by Clark Gregg will be featured in the upcoming S.H.I.E.L.D. television show. Whedon explained at New York Comic Con this past weekend how Agent Coulson became an important character to both the writers and the fans and there was no way the show would exist without him.

We all saw Agent Coulson's fate during The Avengers so it will be interesting to see how the television show will play out.
