Last season, NBC ordered two medical drama pilots, County and the Jekyll & Hyde-themed Do No Harm, one of which, Do No Harm, was picked up to series for midseason. Now I hear NBC is revisiting another medical drama it developed last season. Referred to as After Hours or The Last Stand, the project, from writers Gabe Sachs and Jeff Judah and Sony Pictures TV, is an ensemble medical show about a group of Army doctors who return to work the night shift together at a hospital in San Antonio. I hear NBC held onto the project after the upfronts and has ordered a second script. Additionally, I hear Sony TV is looking to attach a director, a move that often improves a project’s chances.

Lawyers and Doctors… legal and medical dramas… yawn.
I would watch this if it was a dramedy. Otherwise, never.
There’s a reason County was shot the first go-around.
Nice to see NBC second guessing themselves again.
I’m assuming NBC had some sort of ‘deal’ made with the producers behind this series [&/or w/Sony], and part of that deal was that they get to make a 9-13 episode run of this pilot, regardless of how well or poorly the pilot tested last spring. What to do? – that’s how things are done at NBC. I’m waiting for another Jimmy Fallon produced pilot to spring up and go to series as well. Should be any day now. This approach will not work well for NBC, and they probably know it…they are just stuck right now.
Nero…couldn’t have said it better…And don’t hold your breath on that Jimmy Fallon ” really bad version” of “Three Men And A Baby”. One of the worst scripts I read.(Fallon was one of the writers)Nick At Nite would have passed. Maybe they could do a “cross-over’ with the monkey on that other bomb “Animal practice” Greenblatt put on the air…What’s happened to him??
