(S01E01) The first question I had after watching the new NBC medical drama
Trauma was this: can the show keep this up every week?
You can tell a lot of money was spent on the pilot, because the first 20 minutes is like
Irwin Allen: The Movie. Helicopters crash, cars explode, children are endangered. It's like those big episodes of
ER where something massive happened, only this is going to be a regular thing with this show (if, as I said above, they can spend a lot of money on future episodes).
But what about the rest of the show? It's one thing to have big accidents and pyrotechnics (which are actually very impressive) but what about the cast, the writing, the stories?

NBC unveiled its
new shows Monday (they'll reveal the full schedule on May 19), and one of the shows is a medical show. Well, actually, two of the shows are medical shows (the other is

Trauma, and it's set in San Francisco. Remember those special episodes of

Writer and actor Eric Bogosian is
joining the cast of
Law and Order: Criminal Intent. He'll take over for Jamey Sheridan (who is leaving the show) as the police captain.
Bogosian is an acclaimed playwright, most famous for
Talk Radio (the play and the movie), plus the plays
Drinking In America, Suburbia, and
Sex, Drugs, Rock & Roll. Besides roles in
Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle, Ararat, and
Blade: Trinity, Bogosian played the bad guy in
Under Siege 2 and the nasty record exec in the short-lived
Love Monkey earlier this year.
This could be an interesting casting choice. Bogosian is always good for a quirky performance, and maybe he'll spice up his own dialogue a bit.
