Finally, Past Life makes its debut on February 11.

Fans of NBC's Trauma can cancel that 911 call -- as it turns out, the series isn't as dead in the water as we were all led to believe!
According to The Hollywood Reporter, after deciding not to order additional episodes of the new fall series Trauma weeks ago, NBC has changed their minds and ordered three additional episodes (beyond the original 13-episode order). The first ten episodes are slated to air by the end of the year, but it's a little unclear as to whether the last six episodes will air before or after the Olympics.
Why would NBC choose to continue a series that is failing in the ratings and happens to be an expensive show to produce? I'd like to think that they are finally listening to the fans, but sadly the network is just simply lacking in the original series department.
Unless there is a massive surge in ratings, fans of Trauma should probably prepare for the worst and enjoy the thee-episode reprieve.

It's the news Chuck and Lost fans have been waiting for -- at long last, NBC and ABC have chosen premiere dates for their two fan favorite drama series... drum roll please...
- Chuck: Sunday, January 10
- Lost: Tuesday, February 2
Both series kick off their new seasons with a special two-hour premiere episodes. Chuck's Sunday premiere will be followed by its regularly scheduled episode on Monday night at 8pm ET (check local listings). Heroes will then move back to their former 9pm ET timeslot.
The February 2 premiere of Lost begins at 8pm ET with their obligatory recap special, followed by the two-hour premiere. The series settles in to their new Tuesday night home the following week at 9pm and is expected to stay put until the very end. [Get the scoop on the final season]

The Twilight Saga... True Blood... The Vampire Diaries... Let's face it, we're addicted. For those who have yet to get in on the CW's newest hit series The Vampire Diaries, the network is giving viewers a chance to take on a whole new obsession this December.
Beginning December 14 through December 18, the CW will air all 10 episodes (two episodes a night) of the vampire series in consecutive order. It'll be the most delicious week of the holiday season and very low in calories.
Will you choose Team Stefan or Team Damon? After watching the first 10 episodes, choosing sides may be as difficult as that whole Edward/Jacob ordeal (I have yet to pick a side). One thing is for sure -- it's one of the hottest and most intense triangles on television right now!
In light of this vampire craze, I wonder if CBS is regretting canceling Moonlight so prematurely?
