NBC has picked up full seasons of Thursday-night comedies Community and Parks and Recreation, as well as its Wednesday night medical drama Mercy. All three have shown stability in their time periods in recent weeks. Absent from the pickup list: Monday night medical thriller Trauma.
Community, Parks and Recreation and Mercy have been modest performers, but this back-nine order gives the shows some breathing room to potentially improve. NBC, the final broadcaster to order additional episodes of their new shows this fall, also has a limited inventory of scripted content to fill any open slots. The network has Chuck ready, which has been speculated might replace Trauma should NBC pull the medical thriller.
NBC has Parenthood and Day One for set midseason.
