'TRAUMA' DRAMA FOR DEREK LUKE: NBC won't pick up additional episodes beyond original 13.

(October 30, 2009)

*NBC's big hope to replace "ER" has been placed on life support.

The network has decided not to order any additional episodes of its new big-budget action medical series "Trauma," which featured Derek Luke in the role of a paramedic.

Ratings for the drama have stalled since its season premiere, but it showed a small ratings uptick this week against CBS repeats, prompting the network to book the series for three more weeks.

"Trauma" will now finish production on its original 13-episode order before unplugging the machine, so to speak.
