While it was initially rumored that NBC might kill the ratings-challenged Trauma, word is NBC decided to pick up the medical/explosions show.

Here it is people: the Trauma episode we've been waiting for. On Monday night, the Halloween episode of the SF-based helicopter drama will be airing, and all the drag queens in town who responded to the drag queen casting call a couple months back will be watching the show at a viewing party hosted by Heklina at The Lookout (Noe & Market). We gather that Lady Bear had her own trailer and some actual lines, and maybe Heckles did too? The video above leaves a little to the imagination insofar as the drag queen/nightclub scene that was shot at Great American Music Hall, but hopefully that $3 million-per-episode budget is at least going to yield some good gay television.

Hollywood gossip columnist and sometime crazy person Nikke Finke has marked Trauma as next in line for cancellation, following on the axing of NBC's Southland, and citing the $3 million-per-episode price tag. As she writes, "When I screened the show, I was rooting for the helicopter to kill off every character..." Sorry guys, we may have to save our live-blogging for something else.

Another view after the jump.

Folsom between 11th and 12th Streets will be closed today in order to produce another explosive episode of Trauma. If you need to dart down Folsom this afternoon, expect delays.

Tonight marks the first episode of NBC's Trauma, filmed right here in San Francisco, an hour-long drama about paramedics and explosions. Oh, and Jennifer Siebel Newsom will, we think, be in this episode.

For those who want to join together to watch tonight's premiere of the likely ironically epic Trauma, which was filmed in San Francisco, you're in luck. North Beach's Upper Grant Avenue bars will be having a block party simultaneously screening the show at 9 p.m., hosted by JE Talent, LLC. Participating bars include Mojito, Royale, Maggie McGarrys, and Grant & Green Saloon. There will be live music by Jugtown Pirates, "industry networking," and themed cocktails, featuring Grey Goose Vodka & Bacardi Rum. The party runs from 7 to 11 p.m.

Everyone's soon-to-be favorite, Bay-Area-based NBC drama featuring a helicopter-trauma-unit is looking for extras! [Ed. Note: Your SFist Editors will be LIVE-BLOGGING the Trauma premiere this coming Monday evening, because yes, we are that dorky.] Yes, that's right, you too could get bloodied up in some crazy, action-packed, group scene like the one they shot at Duboce Park, or the one they shot at the Embarcadero market. Particularly swell for the unemployed who always wondered who had time to go be a random extra on a TV show, we recommend this job to anyone who doesn't mind waking up early and standing around a lot.

San Francisco -- being like that pretty girl who sits by herself in the lunchroom and doesn't get a ton of attention outside her AP classes -- gets excited when she's given a chance to shine in the prime time limelight. But NBC's Trauma which premieres in two weeks and which we've all watched in the making here in SF all summer long, may not be long for this world. SF Citizen points us to this blurb by a NY Daily News critic who's had a sneak peak at the show and writes it off saying "we've all seen this before." There's also this poll on HubDub in which people have placed Trauma second only to Accidentally on Purpose as being one of the first new shows likely to get canceled this season. (SF Citizen also points to the irony of our city being one of the only ones without a hospital helipad or medical helicopter trauma unit largely due to the efforts of these rich NIMBYs.)

      

NBC's somewhat anticipated fall drama series "Trauma" filmed a presumably nail-biting scene in Duboce Park yesterday, one that involved a helicopter landing (!) and Halloween decorations (!!).

       

NBC's gripping drama Trauma did a little bit of filming at One Bush this morning. While there were no choice star-sighting on the wattage level of SF First Lady Jennifer Siebel -- remember: let Jennifer be Jennifer, you Hollywood bastards -- it was still quite the scene for little ol' downtown San Francisco.

Starved as San Franciscans are for an occasional touch of Hollywood magic, crowds gathered--actual people, actually gathered--to see some pyrotechnics on I-280 yesterday which capped off a few weeks of shooting for the pilot for NBC's "Trauma." The Chron wrote an entire article about it and posted some soon-to-be viral video of the excitement! See the complete (and completely boring explosion) after the jump.
