On Thursday, NBC ordered three more episodes of Trauma, according to E! Online.

The only problem is it may be awhile before the three remaining episodes set to air after Christmas plus the three additional episodes just ordered will air. That’s because NBC’s winter lineup is already full with Chuck, Heroes and Leno, E! said.

On Monday, Nov. 23, Trauma’s Thanksgiving episode “Going Home” will air at 9 p.m. ET/PT.

Here’s an episode description: Thanksgiving travel gets dangerous when a packed commercial airliner must make an emergency landing that goes terribly wrong. Meanwhile, Nancy finds herself reluctant to spend the holiday with her family. Elsewhere, Boone and Tyler respond to an unusually common Thanksgiving emergency.

Here is the official episode description:

After reading the journal left by one of the Gilbert ancestors, Jeremy (Steven R. McQueen) is inspired to return to his hobby of sketching fantasy creatures, a talent he had abandoned when his parents died. Much to the surprise of their friends, Matt (Zach Roerig) and Caroline (Candice Accola) continue to hang out together. When Sheriff Forbes (guest star Marguerite MacIntyre) tells Damon (Ian Somerhalder) there has been another attack, he offers to track down the killer and learns a startling piece of information about the town’s founding families. Alaric (guest star Matt Davis) steps in to help during an awkward scene with Jeremy, Tyler (Michael Trevino) and Mayor Lockwood (guest star Rob Pralgo). Stefan (Paul Wesley) and Elena (Nina Dobrev) come to a new understanding, but everything changes when Elena accidentally makes a devastating discovery.

Here are a few more clips plus a few CW Connects featuring various actors being interviewed about their character:

Why the switch? According to The Hollywood Reporter, CBS is doing a little experiment to see if either show’s ratings improve by the change.

According to THR, rumors are swirling that CBS is considering an additional script order for Three Rivers, planning order between two to five episodes depending on the outcome of ratings.

Sunday’s episode of Three Rivers is called “The Kindness of Strangers.” Here is the episode description: The wife of a billionaire suffers the consequences after a setback leaves her without a new liver and her husband resorts to buying one on the black market. Meanwhile, a friend from Andy’s (Alex O’Loughlin) past resurfaces.

Here is a video and more photos from the upcoming episode:

Every time I tried to watch any CW show on TV or online, I get bombarded with “The Bitch is Back” commercials pumping the new Melrose Place episode “Cahuenga” airing Tuesday at 9 p.m. ET/PT featuring Locklear’s return.

But that’s okay. I’m looking forward to seeing exactly how bitchy Amanda Woodard really will be when she returns. And I’m curious to see how Ella (Katie Cassidy) deals with her new alpha female boss.

And there are a lot of familiar “Angel” faces behind the scenes. The project is being executive produced by the three producers of the two Charlie’s Angels movies, Drew Barrymore, Nancy Juvonen and Leonard Goldberg, who also executive produced the original series, according to THR.

Sony is producing the TV pilot.

Writing the script and also executive producing is Josh Friedman, who last worked on Fox’s Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles.

If this pilot becomes a reality, who would you like to see as its stars?

I grew up with the original TV series, so I’m kinda partial to the TV show over the movies.

As the photo says “The bitch is back on Melrose Place and so are her fabulous clothes.”

Thanks to the work of Melrose Place wardrobe designer Emma Trask, Locklear’s closet is full of Chanel, Zac Posen and Guiseppe Zanotti dresses and designer bags from Judith Leiber, Burberry shoes and a DVF for H. Stern watch.

Ella (Katie Cassidy) will have to stay on her toes to compete wardrobe-wise with Amanda! From the Melrose Place clip I’ve seen, Amanda gives Ella one of those looks like “what the hell are you wearing?”

Heather Locklear will make her return to Melrose Place on a new episode airing Tuesday, Nov. 17 at 9 p.m. ET/PT on The CW.

Here’s the official synopsis for “History Repeating”:

Jeremy (Steven R. McQueen) gets a break from the mysterious new history teacher, Alaric Saltzman (guest star Matt Davis, Legally Blonde) and introduces Alaric to Jenna (Sara Canning).

Bonnie (Katerina Graham) is having terrifying dreams about one of her ancestors.

Despite Elena’s (Nina Dobrev) efforts to smooth things over, Bonnie and Caroline (Candice Accola) continue to argue over the medallion. When the girls hold a séance to help them decide what to do, the results are stranger than any of them expected.

Matt (Zach Roerig) comes to Caroline’s aid when she needs a friend. Damon finally reveals to Stefan the stunning reason he has returned to Mystic Falls.

Why do you think he returned? I’m interested in seeing how Bonnie’s ancestor, Emily the witch is going to do in this episode? Emily was Katherine’s handmaiden

What role will the new teacher play in the episode? On the chalkboard in one of the photos, it shows an assignment for the students to write a paper about a historic site in Mystic Falls.

Is she bitchy enough for you?

The new Melrose Place episode “Cahuenga” will air at 9 p.m. ET/PT on The CW. Here is the official synopsis:

Ella (Katie Cassidy) and Caleb (Victor Webster) are stunned when agency owner Amanda Woodward (Heather Locklear) walks into WPK and immediately fires half the staff, including Caleb. Amanda makes it clear to Ella that the Anton V launch party with Riley (Jessica Lucas) better go off without a hitch or Ella can vacate her office too. Meanwhile, Auggie (Colin Egglesfield) finally succumbs to Violet’s (Ashlee Simpson-Wentz) flirtatious ways and David (Shaun Sipos) asks Lauren (Stephanie Jacobsen) out on a date.

It’s strange to not see Ella as the alpha dog character. I love it when Amanda looks down on Ella’s outfit. Funny!

What do you think about an Auggie-Violet hookup? How about David and Lauren?

Do you think Heather Locklear’s return will make the ratings skyrocket?

A new episode of V will air tonight at 8 p.m. ET/PT on ABC called “There is Nor Normal Anymore.”

Erica (Elizabeth Mitchell) and Father Jack (Joel Gretsch), having quickly determined they’re both against the arrival of the Visitors, suddenly find themselves being tracked by a “Seeker” from the V’s.

Meanwhile Chad (Scott Wolf), thinking he blew it for 80 million viewers with his exclusive first interview with Anna (Morena Baccarin), looks to pick himself up and so becomes more investigative in his next newscast; and Dale Maddox’s (Alan Tudyk) wife and law enforcement begin questioning Erica about his whereabouts.

Others starring in V include Morris Chestnut as Ryan Nichols, Lourdes Benedicto as Valerie, Logan Huffman as Tyler Evans and Laura Vandervoort as Lisa.

My questions after watching the first episode are: How long have the Visitors who were already on Earth lived here? How many defectors are there like Ryan? How many of them are living among us? If Ryan is able to love and act human, how hard is it going to be to figure out who the aliens are? What do the V’s really want? Our resources? Who else is an alien that we’ve already met?
