NBC Monday greenlit a programming slate heavy on meat-and-potatoes fare, including two medical dramas (“Trauma” and “Mercy”), a broad family hour (“Parenthood”) and an old-fashioned multicamera half-hour from director James Burrows (“100 Questions”), according to TVWeek. Also on NBC’s slate are a single-camera comedy starring E! host Joel McHale and Chevy Chase (“Community”) and an ambitious “limited” series from “Heroes” alum Jesse Alexander (“Day One”), TVWeek said.
