Just like Arrested, it's made by a studio that happens just to be apart of ABC. Arrested is produced by 20th Century Fox Television for FOX. Scrubs is produced by Touchstone Television which is owned by Buena Vista which owns ABC.

If NBC cancels Scrubs (which seems unlikely), I guess ABC could have the option to pick up the show.

However, if ABC would pick up both Scrubs and Arrested Development, that'd be one hell of an hour.

From what I recall reading about ABC's potential ideas. They weren't going to try to get Scrubs back but develope a new show that would fit with AD's type of humor if they were to get it.

Earlier in the thread, I noted a rumor about ABC wanting to do an hour long comedy powerhouse block. So did ABC originally have Scrubs?

I don't believe it has ever aired on ABC.

already noted. ABC passed on Scrubs and then Buena Vista went to NBC.

Well, that was before their turn around. Before LOST and before Desperate Housewives. They want to get their act together and not be the joke of network tv.

Just thought I'd bring this one back up as a reminder.

IT’S A FAMILY AFFAIR ON THE SPECIAL ALL-NEW TWO-HOUR SEASON FINALE OF “ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT” FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 10, ON FOX

Spoiler:
Judge Reinhold, William Hung, Justine Bateman, Jamie Kennedy Make Guest Appearances

In four back-to-back episodes, George Sr. hires a new attorney who asks the Bluths to participate in a mock trial to help prepare them for the real thing. The attorney gets actor Judge Reinhold, to preside over the mock case. Meanwhile, Buster fakes a coma to get out of testifying and George Michael and Maeby participate in a mock wedding to entertain hospital patients. Back at the office, Michael discovers he may have a long-lost sister named Nellie Bluth. In an effort to get to the bottom of things, Michael tracks Nellie down and hires her as a consultant for The Bluth Co. Unfortunately, Michael discovers Nellie’s hands-on approach is more than he bargained for. Meanwhile, Gob goes to Iraq to perform his Christian magic act on the USO tour and ends up incarcerated. Michael learns George Sr. sent Gob to Iraq to burn down the model home he built there, so Michael and Buster fly to Iraq to spring Gob from prison. The Bluth brothers head to the model home, where they make a discovery that could end the family’s legal troubles forever. Back in Orange County, Lucille decides to throw a yacht party to celebrate. The Bluths gather aboard the Queen Mary for a trip that ends up being far from smooth sailing on the “Faking It/Family Ties/Exit Strategy/Development Arrested” episodes of ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT Friday, Feb. 10 (8:00-10:00 PM ET/PT) on FOX. (ARR-310 / 311 / 312 / 313) (TV-14; D, L) CC-HDTV 720p-Dolby Digital 5.1 [VIEWER’S NOTE: THE BERNIE MAC SHOW and TRADING SPOUSES: MEET YOUR NEW MOMMY are preempted this night.]

Cast: Jason Bateman as Michael; Portia de Rossi as Lindsay; Jessica Walter as Lucille; Jeffrey Tambor as George Sr.; Michael Cera as George-Michael; Alia Shawkat as Maeby; Will Arnett as Gob; Tony Hale as Buster; and David Cross as Tobias.

Guest Cast: Justine Bateman as Nellie Bluth, Judge Reinhold as Himself, William Hung as Himself, Carrie Preston as Jan Eagleman, Michael P. Byrne as Bailiff, Peter Michael Goetz as Dr. Farmer, John Fremont as Brian, Bud Cort as Himself, John Farley as Clark, Ron Mathews as Ben, John Michael Higgins as Wayne Jarvis, Charlie Hartsock as Ted, Mark Mueller as Dave, Bronwen Masters as Adelaide, Rob Riggle as Congressman John Van, Jamie Kennedy as Himself, Justin Lee as Annyong, Cooper Thornton as Baker.


And they're calling it a "Season" Finale, not "Series", which makes it sound (to me) like its coming back to FOX.

Oh lord - is that what spawned the creation of the shitty-looking AD-knockoff "Sons & Daughters" I kept seeing advertised during the Superbowl?

well, if it were coming back anywhere else, it would still be a 'season' finale, no?

That didn't stop the WB from calling the season 5 finale of Buffy a "Series Finale," even though the show was coming back on UPN.

Still, it's not like FOX has to call it a series finale if they don't want to. Networks cancel shows all the time without calling the last episode aired a "series finale."
