SAVE TRAUMA!

Despite what you may have heard, there may still be a chance to save “Trauma”! There are some rumors that if the ratings go up significantly in the next 3 episodes, NBC may reconsider. Remember how “Jericho” was resurrected after it was given the axe, or how NBC is ordering more episodes of “Chuck” thanks to the fans? It has been done before, and no reason for it not to be able to happen again so let’s make it happen here!



Please tell EVERYONE you know (and have those people tell everyone they know) to either watch or DVR the show. The next 3 weeks is crucial and it is imperative that we do everything we can to keep any series up here in the Bay Area. There has not been a single series shot up here since “Nash Bridges” which wrapped in 2001 – that is 8 years. None of the people in the business who work just as hard as those in LA or NY should have to wait another 8 years for this kind of opportunity again.

ALSO ADD TO YOUR FACEBOOK OR TWITTER ACCOUNT.


You can also e-mail NBC at:

Trauma airs tonight (Monday nights) on NBC at 9pm.



Thank you and your cooperation on this matter would be much appreciated. Let’s keep us all working and busy!

There he discovers that the working class offers no hope to get himself and his family out of trouble, until he discovers Tony’s money. Tony, the old cook has his life’s savings tied in bags around his body. Tony’s money is Nick’s only chance. As Nick works out a plan to separate Tony from his money, he begins to understand both Tony’s world and his own.
