Following news that the writers’ strike has ended and everyone in TV land is going back to work, ABC has announced that nine of the network’s shows have been renewed for the 2008-09 season.

Naturally, “Desperate Housewives,” “Grey’s Anatomy,” “Ugly Betty,” “Lost” and “Brothers & Sisters” will return… but four new shows have also been given the network’s blessing for a second season: “Pushing Daisies,” “Private Practice,” “Samantha Who?” and “Dirty Sexy Money.”

Stephen McPherson, president, ABC Entertainment said of the renewals, “The strength of our schedule this fall was unprecedented and speaks for itself. We’re looking forward to building on that success.”

Of course, the news leaves people hollering about their favorite shows that weren’t on the list: “Boston Legal,” “Men in Trees” and “Women’s Murder Club,” to name a few.
