Three freshman NBC series are getting full-season orders: The Event, Law & Order: Los Angeles and Outsourced are all getting nine more episodes.

The pickups are all shows produced by Universal Media Studios and represent NBC's first round of full-season orders.

"We are pleased with the quality of The Event, Law & Order: Los Angeles and Outsourced, and feel they are an important part of helping to re-build our schedule and our studio pipeline,” said Angela Bromstad, NBC's entertainment president . “We believe in these new series and the creative auspices behind them.”

NBC has not made a verdict for the Warner-Bros.-produced Chuck, Chase and Undercovers. There are rumors of six Undercovers scripts being ordered and a potential back nine for Chase.

In the ratings, none of the shows have popped much in recent weeks. The Event has averaged a 3.0 rating and 9.1 million viewers using the most current ratings date including DVR viewership. LOLA has generated a 2.5 rating and 8.7 million viewers. Outsourced has averaged a 3.0 rating and 6.3 million viewers.

The news does mean, however, that Event fans will have a stronger chance of finding out what "The Event" actually is -- sources say its reveal is planned for near the end of the first season

I like Outsourced but haven't seen any of the others listed.

For some reason, I like Outsourced & have been watching since day 1. I'll definitely keep watching. It's got some funny scenes & in case anyone's wondering, the scenes I laugh w/ are nothing to do w/ anything racial. The things that are MOST funny to me are not what's said, but how a person may say something.

is "The Event" really doing that much better than "Chuck" ?

I think Chuck really deserves a pickup for the full season (I admit I don't watch the Event - I couldn't make it through the pilot)

This is one show that I really want to see but I keep forgetting to watch it! It looks hilarious and I'd love to see the movie "Outsourced". I don't know if they are related, but they both look really good!

I haven't see anything new from them in a while. You sure it's still on ?

I watched two eps this morning on the NBC On-Demand channel. The two were about Todd being homesick/getting sick and the other was the "A Sitar is Born". Enjoyed both, greatly.

Will have to keep an eye out for more and if the entire season is released on DVD.
