Dear friends,

Many of you have been understandably confused by the Fairy Tale episode of Scrubs serving as the series finale. It was not. I was not allowed to say it until today, but Scrubs will be moving to ABC for its final season. We are currently filming the 8th and final season. The true finale of the show will air on ABC in the fall. NBC merely promoted the Fairy Tale episode as the finale, as it was the last episode they owned.

Also, several of you were very confused by the fact that Dr. Kelso and Laverne were still working at the hospital in the Fairy Tale episode. Because of the writer’s strike, the last remaining episodes for NBC were aired out of order. This is why Dr. Kelso was still chief of medicine. That was not Laverne however, for those of you who have been following closely; it was a new nurse “Shirley” who no one thinks looks anything like Laverne except for JD.

Hope this clears some things up.

peace and love,
zb

Spolier TV has some new insight on the final season of Scrubs. Check it out below…

Question: How will the writers’ strike affect the final season of Scrubs!? — Brandon
Ausiello: In the worst way possible: If the work stoppage goes on much longer, we may never get our Scrubs series finale. “To finish this season, the strike would need to be over by mid-January/early February,” Bill Lawrence told me after Saturday’s event. “Once the strike ends, I’m going to do anything I can to do the finale of the show. And if that means trying to sell ABC Studios on the value of shooting those last episodes even if they were only for a special feature on the DVD, or airing them on ABC if NBC didn’t want them, I will pursue every single road to make them.” And that, my friends, is why we worship Bill Lawrence.

You can check out the link for the complete article, which features information on the Scrubs event from last weekend.

Spoiler TV has an article with Scrubs creator, Bill Lawrence… Check it out below:

The chance for NBC’s “Scrubs” to go out on its own terms is being jeopardized by the WGA strike, which could leave the final six installments of the comedy’s 18-episode last season in indefinite limbo.

“On a personal level, yeah, it would be nice to finish work on ‘Scrubs’ the way I wanted to,” creator-executive producer Bill Lawrence told The Hollywood Reporter. “That it looks like it’s not happening is certainly disappointing, I can’t lie. But it’s also not the end of the world. The last thing anybody wants to hear right now is some idiot saying, ‘Hey, I worked really hard on my show, I want to end it the way I want to end it!’ It’s hard to care right now about any legacy.”

Lawrence hasn’t done much in the way of stockpiling “Scrubs” episodes in anticipation of a writers walkout. There are two scripts written and ready to shoot, “and with a single-camera show, once a script is locked, you have no real rewrites,” he said. That will take “Scrubs” up through Episode 12, six episodes short of the ending Lawrence had envisioned for the show.

I wanted to make another quick update today, so I added some goodies from Scrubs. There are still and promos from season 6 and promos from season 4 that I added. Check out each album by clicking on the thumbnails below. More stuff to come!
