Just when it looked like Trauma was flatline because it was reported that NBC did not order any additional episodes past the original 13, comes word that NBC has ordered 3 more episodes bringing the total to 16. A spokesperson for NBC told me that they will air 10 episodes before the New Year and the remaining 6 will air at some point next year.
I am so glad that NBC is sticking with the show because it is one of the best shows on TV now. Besides the amazing special effects for the different traumatic situations that they cover like a speed boat crashing into a yacht or a mass shooting or two helicopters colliding and crashing into a building; they also have touching stories with the trauma team members like the above clip when Kevin Rankin told his partner he is gay. The show gets better and better each week and since their ratings have also been improving, I guess NBC decided to give this show another chance. So why not discover the show that was rescued after it flatlined and watch it this Monday and every Monday at 9p before the New Year. I promise you this show will give you the rush you need to start off your work week!!!
NBC also announced when some of their shows will be returning in January!
Monday, January 4th Heroes returns with a 2 hour episode.
Tuesday, January 5th The 9th season of The Biggest Loser premieres.
Sunday, January 10th Chuck returns with 2 episodes.
Monday, January 11th Chuck (8p) and Heroes (9p) return to timeslots that they had in May.
Sunday, January 17th The Golden Globes hosted by Ricky Gervais air.
Parenthood will air after the 2010 Winter Olympics.
ABC just announced that the final season of Lost is going to begin on February 2nd with a full night event. They will start it off with a recap at 8p and then at 9p we will get a 2 hour premiere. I have been going to Costco and stocking up on Aspirin just to get me through the season. Because you know they are going to answer a question and then ask 5 more questions and then answer and ask and answer and ask and your head will make like that bomb when Juliet hit it with the rock… and go kaboom!!!
BTW Lost’s regularly scheduled timeslot after the premiere night will be Tuesdays at 9p, which makes it sound like the show will be paired with V at 8p. But I wonder what happens when Dancing with the Stars comes back in March? Where will the results show go?
And for you Chuck fans, NBC announced that Chuck will be premiere on Sunday, January 10th before moving to its regularly scheduled time of Mondays at 8p the next night. Heroes will be moving back to its old timeslot of 9p which such a better time for the show!!!
30 Rock debuted in Germany yesterday and it scored a 0.0 in the ratings meaning less than 5,000 people tuned in to watch it according to The Hollywood Reporter. Ouch!
ZDFNeo picked up the show to reach a younger demographic, but instead it didn’t pick up any demographic. 30 Rock doesn’t do well here in the ratings, I wonder why Germany would think it would do any better for them over there? I mean I never would’ve thought that Tina Fey’s Emmy winning show would do well anywhere but The US because it is a very Americanized show that I don’t think has worldwide appeal. Personally I never got the show, but I know people who love it.
NBC has decided not to order any more episode of their new show Trauma according to The Live Feed. The news really isn’t a surprise because last week NBC picked up their other two shows, but not Trauma. And even though it was expected, I am still royally bummed because this show got better with each episode. So make sure to check it out this Monday at 9p on NBC while you can.
Although not announced it looks like Chuck will return to Monday nights when Trauma ends it 13 episode run. If NBC were smart (which they have proven they are not..2 words Jay and Leno) they would put Chuck on 8p and move Heroes back to 9p instead of putting Chuck on at 9p. NBC also ordered 6 more eps of Chuck, so you Chuck fans better watch the show you fought so hard to get back on the air because I have two words for you…CBS and Jericho.
BTW back to Trauma, I pray that Kevin Rankin finds a new job soon because he is too talented not to be on TV and I must say sh!tload better looking in person. Not saying he isn’t hot on the little screen, just much better in person. And the really sad part of NBC not sticking with the show, is Kevin had a really touching coming out scene on Monday and it is shame that storyline will not play out as long as it should have.
NBC has picked up three of their shows, Parks and Recreation, Community and Mercy for a full season. Yay, NBC is sticking with 3 of their 4 scripted programs which is great for us and them, since they gave 5 hours to Jay Leno. They need more scripted programming, not less.
So with the NBC sticking with these three shows, I wonder if that means Chuck will return to Mondays after Trauma (I assume) ends its 13 episode run and Parenthood will air on Fridays? Unless Parenthood will replace Heroes when it ends it shortened run and they will pair it with Chuck?
When it comes to the shows that were picked up, I really like Parks and Recreation because I think Aziz Ansari is funny as all heck. And as much as I wanted to hate Mercy because I can’t stand Michelle Trachtenberg, I actually like it. What do you think of NBC’s new shows?
