NBC's 'Scrubs' Moving to ABC

LOS ANGELES (Feb. 29) - Longtime NBC comedy "Scrubs" is heading to rival network ABC.
Sources say ABC is in negotiations to pick up 18 episodes of the show from Disney corporate sibling ABC Studios, which has produced the series for NBC since 2001.
A broadcast show switching networks, though often discussed during contract renewals, is a rare event. Previous network jumpers include "JAG" (NBC to CBS) and "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" (The WB to UPN).
The writers strike cut short NBC's 18-episode final-season order for the Zach Braff medical comedy to 12 episodes. Sources say the network has been reluctant to order additional episodes for next fall, citing the fact that it already has some fresh episodes in the can. NBC reportedly floated various end game scenarios to producers, including ordering one final episode, or producing the remaining episodes direct to DVD.
Details of the ABC deal are still being hammered out as contracts for most cast members and writers have not been picked up beyond the current season.
After struggling in recent years to launch a hit comedy, ABC scored this season with Christina Applegate freshman "Samantha Who?" The "Scrubs" pickup will give ABC another half-hour title with a built-in audience, and it makes financial sense for Disney.
It's been a rocky ride for "Scrubs" on NBC. The network has repeatedly shifted the critically praised but modestly rated show around its schedule. For the past two seasons, NBC also waited until the 11th hour to pick up the comedy series with partial season orders.
Most recently, "Scrubs" has aired as part of NBC's Thursday night lineup along with "The Office," "My Name Is Earl" and "30 Rock," where the medical comedy was often the lowest-rated of the bunch.

Re: NBC's 'Scrubs' Moving to ABC
I'm currently half way through Season 2. Elliot has just broken up with that Flowers guy. Jordan's had the baby. JD has taken the TCW to dinner and Turk and Carla are squabbling as usual. I noticed that in Season 2, there is like a famous guest star in each episode.
I'm totally loving this show. Makes me want to be a doctor. It looks so fun!!!!

NBC will air six more new episodes of Scrubs this season, beginning this Thursday, April 10. (Woo!) The cast finished shooting episode "712" (the 12th episode of season seven) on Monday, which is the last episode that will be shown on NBC. However! The production train keeps on chugging.
According to sources on set, Scrubs began shooting an episode on Tuesday that is being numbered as "713/800." (Meaning, it is the 13th episode in production this season but is scheduled to air in season eight.) The cast and crew will shoot through August and are expected to end on episode 816.

Re: NBC's 'Scrubs' Moving to ABC
We don't get ABC here anymore. They ceased transmission on all platforms; SKY etc.
I miss it.

Re: NBC's 'Scrubs' Moving to ABC
Duuudes,
what is going with this show? I absolutely love it, but they have gone all lame and gay, and stopped airing it.
I've watched all the way up to season 7 episode 11 - which was kind of a bizarre one btw.
