August 1, 2011
ABC Family has announced that it has picked up a full first season of Switched at Birth, ordering 22 more episodes of the freshman series. The show debuted back in June with an initial 10 episodes, and will return for the rest of its newly-ordered season in early 2012.
“Viewers have fallen in love with this show, just as we did when we first saw it,” said network president Michael Riley in a press release. “We set out this year to bring viewers more original content than ever before, all with the trademarks of our bright, authentic, quality storytelling. We’re so thrilled to see this series become a break-out hit this summer and become a key component of our programming lineup into next year.”
Switched at Birth follows two girls who find out that they were mistakenly given to the wrong parents as newborns. Since its premiere, the series has been ranking as ABC Family's Number 2 freshman season ever in total viewers and key demographics.
The show's summer finale airs Monday, August 8.

I already balled when they canceled Make it or Break it, and if they cancel this.... ABC Family will be screweddd. I was so obsessed with this show and it (like MIOBI) discussed real life issues like having a 'dissability' so to speak like deafness, family problems, trying to find who you are... but Secret Life is renewed for its elevnty-millionth season when all they do is repeat the same lines over and over and say sex at least once every.single.scene. Sorry...rant over.

Please KeeP Switched at Birth seasons coming!!! If ABC cancels this show it should start advertising, "Warning: before you watch this season, know that ABC Will cancel it, as we just like to cancel seasons of good shows, because our network, ABC, stands for oops, sorry you liked the show, who cares the reviews, its "Already Been Cancelled!" hence the ABC!

I'm 45, and also thought this was going to be "too teeny bopper-ish, but I, too, have lost sleep watching episodes back to back after I stumbled upon the show on Netflix. In a few days I've watched all 22 episodes and can barely wait to see the next season. I'm officially addicted--it's killing me that it's not accessible now! Love seeing ASL being a key part of the show. I second the notion that there is way too much reality shows and junk on TV that poison the minds of our culture. I do hope you respond to the passionate reception to this show's mission by continuing it for a long, long time! Please show soon! Huge thanks!

I just discovered the show on netflix and fell in love with it! Yes I must admit i'm crushing on emmitt as well! I'm so upset they left us hanging like this. I hope there is more to come but i'm worried season 1 is all they have.
