NBC Ends Trauma
Where have all the NBC viewers gone over the last few years? When will the network have another big Heroes-type hit on their schedule again? After five airing, NBC has pulled the plug on their new medical drama series Trauma.
According to Zap2It, NBC hasn't officially canceled the series, but has chosen not to order the back nine. The network will air the remaining episodes throughout the fall. Heroes fans should take note that the ratings for Trauma were just slightly less each week. Could the epic drama be on its last legs despite a creatively excellent season? Let's just say that fans should probably enjoy what little time we have left.
Fans of NBC's Chuck have reason to celebrate in light of Trauma's demise -- EW reports that the network has ordered an additional 6 episodes, bringing the season total to 19. The series had been slated to premiere in March, but thanks to this development, it's likely that Chuck will begin this January. Score one for the geeks!

I am so tired of NBC cancelling shows. Myself and several of my friends enjoy watching Trauma on Sunday. We are not all Desperate Housewife fans, you finally get a good show for Sunday evenings & because you feel the 18-49 age group is not watching it’s not worth it. Most of us over 49 are living linger and as I have seen and heard this is the age group that watches the most tv. I’m really tired of these people deciding that the only age group watching are the only tv viewing group there is. The Jay Leno show at 10 was the biggest mistake that they made, I don’t watch it & I know a lot of people that no longer watch his show. Keep it up there will be no NBC.
I used to watch NBC all time, then they stopped showing good shows. I was really glad to see that with Trauma they had finally put together a show with out all the kid junk and sex junk, there is more to life. Now they’re pulling it. Why not give it half a chance instead of giving up so early?
