'Scrubs' Creator Breaks His Silence on What Led to His Break-Up with NBC

May 15, 2008

scrubsABC has officially taken Scrubs under its wing, leaving fans with a sense of relief in knowing that the show they have loved for seven years can properly bid farewell in style.  But before the dramedy moved into its new quarters, it was, for a long time, in the custody of NBC. Seeing that the series has pulled better ratings than 30 Rock and My Name is Earl, it's difficult to imagine what led Scrubs to break-up with NBC and what prompted the show to look for a new home.

The cast and crew of Scrubs have been tightlipped in response to inquiries about the move.  But now that the network shift has been officially announced, show creator Bill Lawrence intends to break his silence.

ABC Upfronts: Fall Schedule Unveiled, New Series Announced

May 13, 2008

ABC, the number two network in all the land (and only behind FOX because of the Super Bowl and American Idol), had its upfront presentation early this morning.  The network unveiled its Fall schedule, and it's pretty hard to get excited about it.  Nothing against ABC – the schedule is good, probably the best, top to bottom, of any network – it's just that there weren't many openings this time around.  Last season ABC launched eight new shows in the Fall, the most of any network.  For the most part, ABC hit a homerun with Dirty Sexy Money, Pushing Daisies, Private Practice, Samantha Who?, and Eli Stone in the mid-season.

Networks rarely have so many returning second-year shows.  Because of this, ABC had very little work to do this pilot season.  There are only two new shows on the Fall schedule, with two more targeted for the mid-season.  Continue reading for a detailed description of the schedule and new shows.

ABC Upfront Preview: 'Boston Legal' Renewed, 'Scrubs' Switches Network

May 12, 2008

While many networks might be in trouble next Fall due to the writers' strike shrinking the new pilot season, ABC is looking quite good.  It has a solid stable of returning favorites (Ugly Betty, Grey's Anatomy, Desperate Housewives), hit reality shows (The Bachelor, Dancing with the Stars) and a solid 2007 freshman class that will return for sophomore seasons (Pushing Daisies, Dirty Sexy Money, Samantha Who?).  This doesn't leave much room for new or bubble shows, so this season ABC is cleaning out its closet, dumping a lot of iffy shows while picking up a few gems from other networks.

Scrubs: "My Princess" Season Finale recap

May 9, 2008

In this week's Scrubs, Dr. Cox takes us to a magical land where a princess and a village idiot face off against a monster that has possessed a fair maiden with the help of a giant, a two-headed witch and a valiant knight while avoiding the wrath of an evil wizard that has taken over the Sacred Heartia. Strangely, however, that wasn't even the most confusing thing about the episode. First off, the show was suddenly given the vague billing as the "Scrubs Finale", noticeably leaving off any mention of whether this was the season or season finale. The truth is that it's both. Or neither, really, depending on how you look at it. You see, this is the series finale of the show as part of the NBC lineup, before it makes its move to ABC, which the current network is understandably being quiet about. On top of that, we get the inexplicable return of Dr. Kelso as the Chief of Medicine and Keith as Elliot's recently dumped ex-fiancee from one month(!) earlier.
