We’ve been pretty excited for NBC’s newest field/hospital drama Trauma, about a group of first responders in San Francisco, and the heroic feats they go through on a daily basis. Last week, we brought you a special sneak peak at the show’s pilot, and now there’s a brand new video podcast showing off Cameron Boone, one of the main characters of the show (played by Miracle at St. Anna’s Derek Luke).

The video podcast is a brief narrative in the voice of Cameron in which he talks about the things that go on for both him and the victims of a trauma. NBC has been on promotions overload with this new program, with the first four minutes of the premiere up on NBC.com. Also, they have stepped up the social networking of Trauma with both Facebook and Twitter pages for fans.

Along with Derek Luke, the show also stars Cliff Curtis (Live Free or Die Hard), Anastasia Griffith (Damages), and Aimee Garcia (The George Lopez Show). The first episode premieres on NBC tonight at 9PM/8PM Central. Check out the first video podcast, Cameron Boon, after the jump.

NBC seems to be pulling out all the stops promoting its new Fall shows. Well, at least some of them because they keep sending us new promos for the shows pretty much weekly and, of course, we’ll keep putting them up so you can get a look at them. This time around we’ve got a couple looks at both Trauma and Mercy — two of the networks freshmen medical dramas — for you today. In these clips, more sneak peek at actual things going on in the shows than traditional promos, we get further information about the characters and situations that we can expect when watching them.

Its been a while since I really liked a medical drama having given up on shows like Grey’s Anatomy and ER long ago. But after seeing all the promos and such for these two shows I’m still kinda interested in both of them. Each has its strengths to be sure such as interesting casts — Taylor Schilling and Michelle Trachtenberg in the case of Mercy and Cliff Curtis, Derek Luke and Jamey Sheridan in the case of Trauma — and somewhat unique perspectives on the medical drama. But in the long run I guess before I can really make a determination, I’ll just have to watch them. Of course, I will — especially if the kind folks at NBC send over some screeners.

Trauma hits the air on Monday, September 28th and Mercy on September 23rd. Check out the new sneak peeks after the break.

Our good friends at NBC have sent us a whole bunch of brand new promos for their upcoming shows debuting this Fall. One will look familiar to you and the other two are brand new, but all three look to try and up the ante for scripted network drama this season.

First up are a couple of promos for Heroes, returning for its third season on Monday, September 21. In these, we get to see which characters are coming back this time and also watch as Peter takes on a new and dangerous power. Next, there’s a couple from freshmen drama Mercy, which tells the “traditional” hospital story in a new way: from the POV of nurses including Iraq vet Veronica (Taylor Schilling) and newcomer Chloe (Michelle Trachtenberg). Mercy premieres on Wednesday, September 23rd.

Finally, we’ve got a couple promos from another freshmen drama called Trauma. In this one, a team of first responder paramedics help people by land, sea and air and also deal with the pressures of their jobs and everyday lives. This one features Cliff Curtis, Derek Luke and Jamey Sheridan and hits the air on Monday, September 28th.

Check out all the new promos after the jump.

Our fine friends at NBC have sent us some video and we, being the cool people that we are, are eager to share it with you. First up is a brand new episode of NBC’s “controversial” reality show The Wanted, which concerns an elite group of crime fighters who have no real affiliation and are just private individuals, who join together to hunt down people known to be part of terrorist organizations.

Next up is a promo for a new show, Trauma, which hits the airwaves on September 28th at 9/8C, is Executive Produced by Peter Berg and is an intense, action-packed look at one of the most dangerous medical professions in the world: first responder paramedics.

To be honest, I’m kinda on the fence about The Wanted. I think the “reality” elements of the show at times feel scripted and not real at all. Plus, its just sorta hokey and lame in some parts as well. Trauma, on the other hand, seems like a pretty interesting show and one I will tune in and check out.
