We‘re back to first days on tonight‘s episode of Scrubs, but it‘s not like season 1 when J.D. (Zach Braff) was still an intern stepping foot into Sacred Heart.  The episode we‘re getting ready for points to a group of new blood in the hospital, and it‘s not the patients.

There are so many ways of welcoming Scrubs on its return, one of which is a big bromantic hug from us just like J.D. would give to Turk.  But we can put that off for now, since the ABC series‘ ninth season is set to air in December, which is about a week away.

The end of May means it‘s time to start campaigning for the Emmy Awards.  Many shows have already started hitting voters with giant For Your Consideration DVD sets to get the coveted nominations.  This season, however, there‘s a lot of gamesmanship going on for category placements as actors are moving from Lead to Supporting or vice versa in order to improve their chances at a nomination.

Scrubs might be over for its protagonist J.D., but is it the same for the rest of the Sacred Heart Staff?  Actor Zach Braff, who plays the lead character on the show, has already made his decision to leave the series.  However, it seems as though the network isn‘t ready to let go of him and the show.

ABC unveiled its Fall schedule today and it features an ambitious lineup of new series to premiere all season long.  The schedule features eight new shows, including a Wednesday night that contains nothing but new programs.  This is identical to the strategy ABC used two years ago when it premiered three new hour-long shows on Wednesdays.

ABC is expected to formally announce tomorrow that they‘ll air six new dramas and four new comedies as part of their 2009 fall lineup, with high concept genre ensemble

There are hardly any words for how J.D. (Zach Braff) left Sacred Heart Hospital, unless you suddenly have the urge to blurt out "Eagle!" as a tribute.  Anyway,

Yes, today‘s that day; J.D. will be having his last moments at Sacred Heart Hospital soon.  Fans of Scrubs should ready themselves for whatever tickles and tears that the series will bring, as ABC airs the show‘s season 8 finale.

As the season finale of Scrubs gets closer and closer (only a few hours left!), the anticipation is getting higher.  It‘s like a disease - you want it to end but you can‘t help but stick around and watch.  Whatever you may be feeling as

Can Scrubs be Scrubs without JD (Zach Braff)?That is the question in everyone‘s mind, especially die-hard Scrubs fans, as talks are reportedly underway for the ABC comedy to return for a ninth season.  The catch is that both Braff and Judy Reyes have categorically stated that this would be their last season on the show.  As for the other cast members - Donald Faison, John C. McGinley and Neil Flynn - all of them have booked pilots for spring that should get first priority should they get picked up.  When such happens, JD, Nurse Carla, Turk, Dr. Cox, and Janitor would at best have recurring roles on the series they are now most known for.
