NBC is ordering more of, well … just about everything.

The network is picking up additional episodes of 10 p.m. dramas "Law & Order" (three more) and "Law & Order: SVU" (two more), which can help fill gaps created by the departing "Jay Leno Show."

The network is also picking more of ratings-challenged 9 p.m.-drama "Trauma" (four) and more from Thursday comedies "Community" (three) and "Parks & Recreation" (two).

So that's 25 episodes of "Community," "Parks" and "SVU." "L&O" flagship has 22. "Trauma" — which was actually canceled at 13 episodes before being given a second lease on life — is now up to 20. The overall idea is to help keep NBC in originals as much as possible.
