The hit comedy series Scrubs is getting out of Sacred Heart hospital for an episode on a Bahamian island next season. The cast and crew filled up the population of the small town recently to film the episode.
“We were on a little island called Hope Town in the Bahamas. The population is 300, and we brought 84 people there, so we increased their population by about a third,” said series creator Bill Lawrence. Things got even better for everyone, when he heard how everyone in Hope Town was a fan of the show. Local officials of the island offered to foot the bill for the shoot, and Lawrence didn't hesitate to get on board.

Veteran actor Michael J. Fox is supposedly close to inking a contract with FX's Rescue Me for a multi-episode arc.

Fox is reportedly seriously thinking about it, as he and Leary are longtime friends. If this pushes through, however, fans have to wait a teeny bit as Rescue Me won't be back until March next year.
