Ruby & The Rockits: Series Finale Tonight
September 22, 2009 by Chandra
If you’re a fan of ABC Family’s rookie original sitcom Ruby & The Rockits, it’s time to say goodbye, unfortunately.
The network has reportedly declined to pick up the David and Patrick Cassidy comedy for additional episodes, making tonight’s “Smells Like Teen Drama” the last new installment of the series. But at least the show is going out in style, with former Privileged and Bionic Woman star Lucy Hale making a guest appearance.
Final ‘Samantha Who?’ Episodes Air
July 22, 2009 by Chandra
It’s time to bid adieu to Christina Appelgate’s sophomore sitcom Samantha Who?, unfortunately. On Thursday, July 23, ABC will air the final two episodes in the series, “The Other Woman” and “With This Ring,” at 8pm and 8:30pm ET, respectively.
The bad news is that the episodes are the last in the series. However, the good news is that the show is going out in style with a couple of watch-worthy guest stars.
According to Jim: Time to Say So Long
June 1, 2009 by Chandra
Tomorrow, June 2, brings the final two fresh episodes of ABC’s long-running sitcom According to Jim. I know that news will make many people insanely happy, but the comedy does have its fans who enjoyed the show during its eight-season run.
The swan song begins at 8pm ET with “Diamonds Are a Ghoul’s Best Friend.” Give it up for Jim, who at least has the common sense to buy his wife Cheryl a lovely diamond necklace for her birthday. The only problem, though, is that, ever cheap, he purchases the jewelry from some lowlife Andy knows and ends up …read more

Scrubs: ‘My Finale’ Preview – J.D. Says Goodbye
It’s time, Scrubs fans.
Whether tonight’s special two-part, one-hour episode from 8pm–9pm ET serves as just an eighth-season finale for the long-running ABC comedy or a series finale, there’s no doubt that the central event is central character J.D. bidding farewell to his Sacred Heart colleagues, as well as his position as a series regular.

‘Scrubs’ Season Nine in the Works?
April 28, 2009 by Chandra
If you believe a recent report at The Hollywood Reporter, a ninth season of the ABC sitcom Scrubs could indeed be on the way to becoming a reality.
Although series regular Zach Braff has long claimed Season Eight will be his last season as a regular, there’s also the issue of his co-stars Donald Faison, John C. McGinley, and Neil Flynn, who’ve all landed pilots, as well as series creator Bill Lawrence, currently working on his own pilot Cougar Town. Provided the potential new shows get pickups, the actors and Lawrence would be bound by contract to treat the forthcoming …read more
