Scrubs to ABC next year? (Variety)
Was going to post this in this week's Scrubs episode thread, but figured it deserved its own thread.
Just an FYI to everyone, there's a good article in Variety about Scrubs:
Perplexed Peacock: NBC's timeslot shuffles haven't made life easier for 'Scrubs'
Most notably:

Most notably:
And even with new hits "My Name Is Earl" and "The Office," Lawrence figures that, unless every one of NBC's midseason comedies work, the net will need "Scrubs" to help anchor a second comedy block outside of Thursdays. Indeed, even if NBC passes, ABC topper Steve McPherson -- who developed "Scrubs" while running Touchstone -- has indicated he'd buy the show for the Alphabet.

ABC did it before with Monk. They passed on it, USA got it. Then in a brilliant move, ABC kept the option to re-air the episodes shortly after they were shown on USA. Of course, this was only with the first season. Didn't happen with the following seasons.

I guess this doesn't mean that BL and ZB are as peeved at NBC as I imagined they were. I figured that since they didn't have a pick-up for next year already, everybody would pretty much go their own way after this season even if NBC wanted more.
