Scrubs: Season 8 on a new network

[TheComicbookKid]

lol wiener cousins, bajingo sisters.

grosst:

Good seeing Elizabeth Banks again. The bicyclist-exhibition sex was so stupidly great.

 

[Prison Mike]

how many episodes are left? Seems like things are wrapping up. Turk is the cheif of surgery, JD will move to be with his son, etc...

 

[Zacky]

Two more.

 

[vindrow]

I wonder if they will try to continiue the show without JD, or just wrap it up.

 

[RetroNaz]

it'd be good if they could continue this show - but with a new name, new cast (or at the very least, the newbies in this season) for a fresh start.

 

[Spidey-Bat]

I think this is the end. A lot of the cast is moving on to other stuff.

 

[Syncos]

Two more.

Three episodes, two nights.

The last two episodes are airing the same night.

 

[Matt]

Yeah. Weird phrasing.

I wonder who Janitor and Kelso are wiener cousins through.

For some reason I'm thinking Lady...

Kelso or Janitor said it was 20 years ago.

My money is on Nurse Roberts.

Last night was maybe the best of the season. For some reason, this season has been feeling too traditional sitcomy for me. Like something I'd see on TGIF between Family Matters and Step by Step. Last night was classic Scrubs

Laverne was such a ****e. I remember her saying she'd dress like a "street walker" and have her husband pick her up. Guess it spiced things up.

I don't think it's been really traditional.

 

[Sawyer]

Eeeeeagggllllleee!!!!!

I prefer the second episode with the dying patient.

Scrubs May Come Back for Ninth Season
Source: The Hollywood Reporter
April 27, 2009

The Hollywood Reporter says that ABC is in talks to renew "Scrubs" for a ninth season with some or all of the original cast members coming back full or part-time.

The network is going over the proposed budget for next season with series producer ABC Studios.

"Scrubs" creator Bill Lawrence, busy editing his ABC/ABC Studios comedy pilot "Cougar Town," is said to be deeply involved in the renewal talks as well as in the discussions with the cast, who don't have deals beyond the show's current eighth season.

Talks are under way with the original cast members about ways to bring them back, possibly as recurrings, as in the case of Zach Braff, who had said this was probably his last year on the show, as well as Donald Faison, John C. McGinley and Neil Flynn, who are co-starring on other pilots.

 

[Spidey-Bat]

I rather it end after this season. It's been wrapping up nicely. No need to just undo it all.

 

[Reek]

what the **** no stop after this season

 

[Catman]

I'd rather watch an intern spin-off than a season 9.

 

[Matt]

There's no way it comes back for season nine. Its barely pulling in 5 million viewers. That's not good for a network show. I don't see how they'd see ad space.

 

[StrainedEyes]

I've really lost interest in this show. I'm going to watch till the end of this season, but it's just not doing it for me anymore.

I will not watch another season, if there is one.

 

[Sawyer]

Wtf do you people think there will be another season. They've been setting up for a series ending for episodes...

 

[The Sage]

Crap, tonight's episode is delayed until next Tuesday because of the news conference.

 

[The Shape]

Who cares if they keep it going? We know that pretty much none of the main players will return, but it would cool to see Sacred Heart from someone else's perspective, and I bet that Braff and the others would drop by every so often. Plus, Scubs is so cheap to produce (it's shot in an abandoned hospital, even the apartments and houses we see are sets built within the hospital) which is why they're considering renewing it.

Yea, but it does very well on syndication.

 

[The Apatow Crew]

I saw a thing and it said the Season Finale is next week, nothing about Series finale.

 

[Reek]

bill said himself he wanted to end it with 8. i dont know why hes all of a sudden in talks for a ninth. scrubs will be an epic failure if Braff, McGinley, Faison and Chalke. All of them. it would work without faison or chalke, but would suck. without mcginley or braff though, absolutely not.

 

[DarthDaveBanner]

"I love you more than Turk."

No going back now.

We're not going to sugarcoat anything--things look grim for most shows not considered locks to be returning next fall. The proliferation of cable, the anti-proliferation of the economy, and the relocation of Jay Leno are making things difficult for all programs "on the bubble."

So when positive vibes about renewal come around, it's certainly a breath of fresh air. Today, word came out that ABC is in talks to keep a toe-tag off Scrubs for another year, and that the CW is giving freshman dramedy Privileged a glimmer of hope.

Scrubs was thought to be a goner at the conclusion of this season, but Variety is reporting that ABC is talking about keeping the show on board for a ninth season by lowering the comedy's budget. Star Zach Braff has also reportedly expressed interest in returning for more episodes, likely in a recurring role.

The rest of the cast, however, is a slightly different story. John C. McGinley--who plays Dr. Cox--has been cast in CBS' Back, Donald Faison--who plays Turk--has joined ABC's The Law with Cedric the Entertainer, and Neil Flynn--a.k.a. The Janitor--is signed on for ABC's The Middle. Scrubs creator Bill Lawrence is also working on another project, Cougar Town. If Scrubs does pull off a miracle return, expect these names to be involved in recurring roles.
