Scrubs

Unlike Veronica Mars that got so bad I was looking forward to the end, after 7 years it is legitimately going to suck to see Scrubs go. I think the ending to this week's episode sort of underscored that. Is this going to be the last time we see Dan?

Anyway this was easily the best of the three they've shown so far. I really hope this strike gets resolved, because it would SUCK to see Scrubs go out on 12 instead of 18 episodes.

Nah, I'm tired of Scrubs already. When even Carla is acknowledging that they're rehashing the same "morals," it's time to go. And JD's already had this hissy fit last time Dan's been here. It's really time for JD to grow up, and it'll be interesting to see whether or not he acts at least kind of mature for the remainder of the season, but I'm betting against it.

Season six was such a massive drop in Elliot and Carla quality and season seven is crap for all the cast except Kelso, this makes me sad

Also, I love that the "Kung fu fighting" sequence with Todd and Turk is better than most martial arts sequences in action films.

Now this is something I didn't see coming, Scrubs the subject of a bidding war between ABC and NBC for ANOTHER 18 episode season...

NBC, ABC Tussle Over 'Scrubs'

Alphabet interested in show; NBC says not so fast

ABC is reportedly interested in picking up "Scrubs" for next season -- which is news to NBC, the network that currently airs the hospital comedy.

The showbiz trade papers say that ABC Studios, which produces the series, is in talks with its sister network to produce an 18-episode season of "Scrubs" for 2008-09. Here's the rub, though: NBC says it's still in a period of exclusive negotiations with the studio about the show's fate.

ABC Studios isn't commenting on the story, which The Hollywood Reporter broke late Thursday. Meanwhile, NBC co-chairman Marc Graboff tells Variety that "We're living under the terms of this license agreement, and we expect ABC Studios to do the same."

"Scrubs" completed 12 episodes of what was to be its final season before the writers' strike. Seven have already aired, and the remaining five are set to run starting Thursday, April 10.

That leaves six episodes on the show's order for this season. NBC and ABC Studios have been discussing whether to air all six episodes or put some on TV and some in the season seven DVD package.

If the series does end up migrating to ABC, it's understood that star Zach Braff and the rest of the cast would stick with the show. Braff signed a deal with ABC Studios last year that made him one of the best-paid actors on television.

"Scrubs"-to-ABC rumors are nothing new. ABC Entertainment chief Stephen McPherson helped develop the show when he ran ABC Studios (then known as Touchstone TV), and in the past couple of years it's been widely reported that ABC would pick up the series if NBC didn't. In every case, though, NBC has made a late decision to keep the series on its schedule.

The last two series have started to slide in quality, other than the odd moment. Season 7 has been generally shocking. I'm not sure another season is particularly wise, but then it'd at least give me a brief respite from the CONSTANT BLOODY REPEATS ON E4/PARAMOUNT/ETC.
