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 [1][2]. 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. [3]
