Series Star Confirms ‘Scrubs’ Reprieve on ABC
Surprise! Not!
Most of us already knew this, but just in case there are any doubters left out there who still think it’s all a cruel, unfunny hoax, Zach Braff has publicly confirmed that Scrubs is definitely taking a hike to ABC for its forthcoming eighth and final season.
Why can the show do that? Because ABC owns it, although the series aired on NBC. If that sounds weird, take the Fox hit House as an example. Despite the series’ identification with Fox, NBC Universal actually owns it. That’s why you can watch all the House repeats you want several times a week on NBC’s sister cable network USA.
Braff sent the following message (located conveniently after the jump) to his MySpace buddies earlier today. You should proceed with caution if you haven’t yet had the chance to catch last Thursday’s NBC finale “My Princess” since the final paragraph contains several spoilers (that most fans figured out on their own, I might add, though clarification doesn’t hurt).
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 eighth 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.
