NBC Says No More "Scrubs"
filed under   NewsTV

Now that the writers' strike is over, it's only a matter of time before all of our favorite shows are back on the air with fresh material. Some, like "24" and "Heroes" are waiting until the start of a new season in order to maintain production values, while others like "Grey's Anatomy" and "Bones" are rushing to get new episodes out before the summer. And then there's "Scrubs."

 

According to the L.A. Times, "Scrubs" has been cancelled by NBC even though this was supposed to be the series' last season. However, ABC may pick up the sitcom to allow it a series finale on network television. There are only six episodes left for "Scrubs," but the writers were unable to finish before the strike began. Nonetheless, Ben Silverman, NBC Co-Chairman announced that the end of "Scrubs" on NBC would come sooner than initially thought. 

 

The last episode that will air on NBC will be a fairy-tale themed show based on "The Princess Bride." After that, it's unknown where the series will end up. The Times is reporting that ABC execs have recently been talking about adopting the comedy and renewing it for another full season. 

 

As much as I love "Scrubs," it has grown tired. Each season rehashes the same problems, and what used to be gentle absurdist comedy is now entirely off-the-wall and borderline obnoxious. Maybe the strike will breathe new life into the show, whether there are six more episodes or eighteen.
