Scrubs posied to return for a 9th Season...
http://blog.zap2it.com/korbitv/2009/...-imminent.html
Sacred Heart fans, I've got scoop. A "Scrubs" source tells me that show creator Bill Lawrence met with ABC president Steve McPherson today, and I'm now hearing from another insider that said meeting went well and the show will in fact return for a ninth season. The rumor is that several series regulars, including Zach Braff and Sarah Chalke, have agreed to appear in six episodes of this next go-round. And, yeah, why wouldn't they? It's a lot of money. They all love each other. There will be plenty of time to pursue other projects... No brainer. But for us fans who may feel that last Wednesday's finale was the perfect swan song? Well, I've decided to look at the new season as a psuedo "Scrubs" spin off. With J.D. exiting Sacred Heart, "Scrubs" as we know it is over. However, there may still be enough goodness there to go on in a new capacity. We'll have to wait and see what Bill and his team come up with. The younger characters will be developed further. Maybe we'll see more fresh faces. There will be new relationships, perhaps new issues. Could be cool... |

Is it necessary? I used to be a dedicated Srubs fan in the early years, but then it was on Comedy Central and TV Land all the time and I kind of got sick of it.. I thought a lot of people liked the final episode? Why ruin a good thing?

As for the new stuff, I think a Bill Lawrence show set in a hospital and starring Donald Faison and John C. McGinley is more likely to be funny than whatever random sitcom ABC would otherwise put in that time slot.

Re: Scrubs posied to return for a 9th Season...
I've read several interviews with Bill Lawrence and his main justification for another season is to keep employed the hundreds of people who work on the show. He's also said that as far as he and most everyone else is concerned, Scrubs ended on May 6, 2009. The 9th season will be a new series, a la Frasier to Cheers.

They should try to get that guy from Parks and Rec to come back, he was by far the funniest intern (I'm assuming parks will be cancelled). |

Re: Scrubs posied to return for a 9th Season...
What, keeping people employed? Sure, from a creative standpoint it's a horrible idea but if you can guarantee another year of work in a horrible economy for 100 people you've cared deeply for for the past decade, why not?

So ABC decided to stick a penny in the door of Scrubs after all.

Re: Scrubs posied to return for a 9th Season...
I like it. If it's not good, I won't watch but it does have potential since I did like the interns. I do think they should repackage the whole thing and call it "Interns" and have Cox and Turk be minor characters. I think that'll give it a fresh start without ruining anything that came before it.
Either way, I'm looking forward to it. Worst case scenario is that it sucks and I stop watching. Best case is that it's awesome and I get a few more years of Sacred Heart. :up: |
Re: Scrubs posied to return for a 9th Season...
This pleases me greatly. For some reason I was thinking about how much I wish it would come back next season, then bam, I hear this news.

Re: Scrubs posied to return for a 9th Season...
If they bring back the four interns they brought on in 8 (dude-chick, Sunny, Derek & the lanky white dude) I would definitely be down for it. Unfortunately I don't think any of them could carry a show. There still needs to be a main character and none of them fit the bill.

Re: Scrubs posied to return for a 9th Season...
They could just introduce some new talent as a new intern for the new season. It could be interesting with some new intern as a new semi-main character, then all of the other people having increased roles.
We're only losing, what, three characters for sure? JD, Elliot, and apparently Kelso. |

It means ABC doesnt have anything else to give us. They ended it. Let it stay that way. |
