News From the World of Cable

Here’s some renewal, pick-up and cancellation news from the world of cable…

ABC Family has picked up three new series: “Ruby and the Rockits,” a comedy starring Patrick and David Cassidy and produced by Shaun Cassidy about a former teen idol; “Perfect 10,” a drama set in the world of gymnastics; and “10 Things I Hate About You,” a comedy based on the movie of the same name…

The network has renewed “Greek” and “Lincoln Heights” for an additional season and is also preparing to pick up another season of its hit “The Secret Life of the American Teenager.”

Sadly, however, ABC Family has cancelled “Kyle XY”…

The fine folks at TNT informed me today that they have renewed “Leverage,” which I named the best new show of 2008…
