\n“Roswell” Officially Picked Up
\nby UltimateTV.com<\/p>\n

LOS ANGELES (UltimateTV.com) – Fans of The WB’s critically-acclaimed sci-fi
\nseries “Roswell” don’t have to worry about saying good-bye to their favorite
\naliens on the season finale Monday. UltimateTV has learned that the show has
\nbeen renewed for at least thirteen episodes for the 2000-2001 season.<\/p>\n

Since its move to Monday nights in April, “Roswell” has garnered some of the
\nbest ratings in the 9 p.m. timeselot since The WB began. It currently ranks
\n125-season-to-date among all shows,with a average rating of 2.6\/4. It is the
\nsecond highest-rated freshman show on the net behind “Angel,” which has also
\nbeen renewed.<\/p>\n

While the show began the season with high expections on Wednesday nights at 9
\np.m, its storylines, which blended teen romance with science fiction, found
\nstrong competition from UPN’s “Star Trek: Voyager” and NBC’s “The West Wing.”
\nThe move to Mondays, plus a surprisingly ingenious fan campaign to save the
\nshow (by sending in bottles of Tabasco sauce to the net) apparently helped
\nThe WB decide to pick the series up for a second season.<\/p>\n

Along with “Roswell,” freshman comedy “Popular” is expected to return along
\nwith “Buffy the Vampire Slayer,” “7th Heaven,” “Charmed,” and “Dawson’s
\nCreek.” The WB officially unveils its new schedule Tuesday morning<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
