"Heartland" was an American television drama series airing on TNT. The series was based in the high-stakes world of heart-transplant surgery at "St. Jude" hospital in Pittsburgh based largely on the transplant center at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center [http://search.post-gazette.com/redir.asp?path=/pg/07168/794412-237.stm&date=6%2F17%2F2007+3%3A25%3A00+PM] [http://www.post-gazette.com/pg/07168/794206-237.stm] . It followed a recently separated couple who work both sides of the trade: She convinces the survivors and loved ones to donate the organs of the newly or about to be deceased; he races against time to implant the valuable organs into patients who are struggling against time and their failing bodies to hold on just long enough to receive the life-saving gifts. It was produced by Warner Horizon Television.

On Monday, July 23, "Heartland" was moved to its new time beginning at 8PM/7C followed by "The Closer" and the series premiere of "Saving Grace".

On Friday, August 31, "Heartland" was cancelled by TNT due to disappointing ratings. [http://entertainmentnow.wordpress.com/2007/08/31/heartland-canceled-by-tnt/]
