While "ER" (yup, still on the air) enters the final weeks of the show's seemingly endless run of drama, inter-doctor romances and primetime exposed intestines, the peacock hasn't even waited for the show's remains to grow cold by quickly filling their medical drama void with "Trauma". They may have missed the boat with this decision, when the ebb and flow of primetime drama has clearly shifted from medical/hospital based dramas to crime scene investigation dramas. Either way, both genres fill the need of the American TV audience; sexy co-stars falling for each other while working in close proximity with corpses. Also in development at NBC is a swing-for-the-fences existential drama that places dozens of strangers on an island after their plane crashes only to find out that they are part of a large human experiment that may actually be purgatory or something else. Yeah, like that bullshit will ever gain momentum.
