CW orders full seasons for RINGER, THE SECRET CIRCLE & HART OF DIXIE

In one fell swoop, the CW has announced that they are ordering full seasons for all three of their new dramas, the trippy twin mystery RINGER, the teen witch fantasy THE SECRET CIRCLE, and the fish-out-of-water medical drama HART OF DIXIE.

Surprisingly, Sarah Michelle Gellar's star vehicle RINGER has the lowest ratings of the CW's new shows, with a scant 0.8 rating and 1.7 million viewers.  HART OF DIXIE is doing barely better with an identical 0.8 rating but 1.8 million viewers.  THE SECRET CIRCLE is drawing the biggest crowd with a 1.2 rating and 2.7 million viewers.  None of these would be successful ratings on any other network, but the CW notoriously has a smaller target audience (aka tweens).

This decision makes these three shows the first dramas of the 2011 season to achieve full season runs.  They are preceded by the comedies NEW GIRL, UP ALL NIGHT, WHITNEY, and 2 BROKE GIRLS.

What's your favorite of the CW's new shows?
