Maldron Posted April 10, 2008 Posted April 10, 2008 You ARE aware that scrubs won't see its series ended on NBC, right? NBC won't be running anything but pre-strike episodes for right now.
archangel Posted April 10, 2008 Author Posted April 10, 2008 that's according to tv guide...those are NEW episodes they're talking about.where'd you get your info from? omg there's going to be an 8th season, too ok, according to www.nbc.com/scrubs....scrubs will be on tonight and continueing with new episodes. according to wiki,there is going to be an 8th season on ABC instead of NBC. according to E!, and this was six days ago, here's the scoop: Scrubs: Where Things Stand It's aliiive! That's what you need to know about the NBC, er, make that ABC fan favorite Scrubs. Despite the panic following Ben Silverman's announcement on Wednesday that Scrubs would not be a part of the Peacock Net's 2008-09 lineup and that Scrubs had "finished its run on NBC," sources on the set of Sacred Heart gave me the nitty-gritty on where things stand—some of which you may or may not have heard. Here's the juice: NBC will air six more new episodes of Scrubs this season, beginning this Thursday, April 10. (Woo!) The cast finished shooting episode "712" (the 12th episode of season seven) on Monday, which is the last episode that will be shown on NBC. However! The production train keeps on chugging. According to sources on set, Scrubs began shooting an episode on Tuesday that is being numbered as "713/800." (Meaning, it is the 13th episode in production this season but is scheduled to air in season eight.) The cast and crew will shoot through August and are expected to end on episode 816. Those episodes—yes, 16 of them by my count—are slated to air on ABC. Word is the budget has been trimmed somewhat substantially in order to have the show continue, so it is possible there might be a few lower-level cast changes, but that remains to be seen. Zach Braff is most definitely on board. Regardless, the good news is that although ABC declined to comment and says no announcement regarding Scrubs will come anytime soon, it seems that Bill Lawrence may know a thing or two about what his good friend (and former Scrubs colleague) Steve McPherson is thinking, since he's already started to shoot episodes that are headed for ABC. And so, Scrubs seems to be very much alive and kicking. And if it turns out to be "alive" in that Brendan-Fraser-is-really-dead-and-we're-just-messing-with-you kinda way, let me be the first to say: Steve McPherson, I'm coming for you.
gunsmithx Posted April 10, 2008 Posted April 10, 2008 I wonder if they are gonna try to finish the whole season or just cut it short to restart the normal cycle. I keep hoping they kind break the way shows are currently shown
Maldron Posted April 10, 2008 Posted April 10, 2008 No, there MIGHT be an eighth season IF the rumors of ABC picking up the show for next season are true. And I suppose the episodes will be new after all, but I remember Lawrence stating in the past that he'd probably have to get the finale out on direct-to-DVD stuff. It's mostly because the finale wasn't filmed before the strike that this is coming up. http://www.etonline.com/news/2007/11/55311/index.html Well apparently the latest news states the rumors are true. Still unsure about the last episode though.
La Lindsay Posted April 10, 2008 Posted April 10, 2008 you might want to spoiler tag the end of your first post arch...nick (and possibly others) hasn't gotten that far into the series.
Reverend Jax Posted April 10, 2008 Posted April 10, 2008 Maldron, that was all speculation based on not knowing how long the strike was going to last. NBC said if it lasted through the whole 07-08 season, Scrubs would not be back in the fall of 08. But the strike was only 3 months, so that's not the case.
