Is one of NBC's longest-running programs about to get a longer final season? It very well could be. According to The Hollywood Reporter, NBC is considering an extension of ER's 14th and final season.

The show, which had suffered from declining ratings over the past few years, has started to win its timeslot once again over the past few weeks, beating out new series' like Life on Mars and Eleventh Hour. Due to the ratings surge, NBC has been in talks to add 3 more episodes to this shortened, 19-episode final season.

Nothing has been confirmed by the studio quite yet, however a decision is expected to be made by the end of the month. We'll keep you posted on any new developments that might arise.
