Now that the writers’ strike is behind us, what’s the future for Scrubs’ final season?
Well, the rumors are bubbling that Scrubs may move to ABC to finish out the season and potentially have another season ahead of it. What?! Read the rest of this entry »
OK, I think my heart just stopped for a moment. Deep breath… alright then, Zach Braff addressed the future of “Scrubs” with the ongoing writers’ strike. Let’s just say it’s not happy news.
Zach Braff writes in a MySpace bulletin:
“Many of you have asked about the fate of the final episodes of Scrubs. If the strike goes on too much longer there is a good chance they will never be written or shot and the series finale will remain in the mind of our show’s creator, Bill Lawrence …”
While Brendan Fraser is more of a film star, he’ll always hold a fond place in my heart for his role as Ben Sullivan on a handful of “Scrubs” episodes.
Brendan Fraser and his wife of nine years, Afton, announced today that they will be getting a divorce. Brendan Fraser’s rep commented that the couple “continue to maintain a close and caring friendship.” Brendan Fraser and his soon-to-be-ex have three children together.

According to the Hollywood Reporter, “Scrubs” star Zach Braff and his brother, Adam Braff, are discussing developing a drama for Fox called “Saint of Circumstance.” Zach Braff would direct and executive-produce, while Adam would write the series. David Denman (Roy from “The Office”) stars in the pilot as a man experiencing a midlife crisis. He quits his day job and becomes a paramedic.
This is not Zach Braff’s first TV directing gig – he’s directed six episodes of “Scrubs.” He and Adam Braff have worked together on an adaptation of the children’s book Andrew Henry’s Meadow.
Adorable “Mac Guy” Justin Long and girlfriend Drew Barrymore appear to be getting more serious. The two can be seen in the upcoming film, “He’s Just Not That Into You,” but the real news is that Justin Long and Drew Barrymore spent Thanksgiving with his family in Fairfield, Connecticut.
True love for the Mac Guy and the quirky actress? Barrymore’s previous boyfriends include “Scrubs” star Zach Braff and director Spike Jonze.
Poor Karla wakes up from a nightmare of a dream in which J.D, Elliot and Turk are all trying to kill her. JD and Turk want to go to the waterpark, and Elliot wants the baby.
As she’s telling J.D and Turk about it, she reveals that the thing that really scares her isn’t that she was going to die, but that the dream was in English. For anyone who’s learned a second language, you understand: you can speak both languages, but when you’re dreaming in one, it’s almost like you’re losing the other. When that’s your native tongue, that’s gotta be terrifying.
Dr. Perry Cox on the other hand, has just learned from Jordan that she’s going to be away for the weekend, and the couple start a bet on who’s going to miss who first. I love that about Jordan and Perry… their ongoing little battles.
J.D has just finished nicknaming the new nurse who looks like Laverne, Laveragin (Laverne Again), when the Janitor mocks him about claiming to be a people person when he doesn’t know anyone’s name. So the two have a bet: if J.D can’t learn everyone in the hospital’s name by the end of the day, J.D will do Janitor’s job. If he can’t, Janitor will actually do his job. J.D takes him on, and believe it or not – it’s Dr. Cox who helps him.
Turk and Carla, meanwhile, are having an argument, because Carla talks to Izzy in Spanish when Turk’s not around, and it bothers him because he doesn’t speak Spanish. Carla is still upset over the dream, and is complaining because whenever people see the baby, all they see is Turk: the Little African Princess. To prove her point, Carla asks someone what race he thinks the baby is. He tells her “Half-African, half-Latina… probably Dominican, but then, I’m the new Geneticist.” That is why I love Scrubs.
Elliot sees Dr. Cox helping him and busts his balls over it, telling him he IS lonely, and… then she realizes something… it was supposed to be his day off. He is lonely.
At this point, Ted and his band begin playing “Who are you?” and it stirs up the ranks: Carla wonders who she is, Perry wonders who he’s become, and J.D wonders who everyone in the pictures is.
That night, Carla has the same dream, this time in Spanish, and she doesn’t realize it, but when she wakes up, we see Turk, headphones in his ears, trying to learn Spanish. Perry confesses to Jordan that he misses her. And J.D tells the Janitor everyone’s name: except for Janitor’s, thus losing the bet. I guess Janitor wouldn’t tell him????
The writers’ strike may force an early ending for the series’ finale of “Scrubs.” In what is the last season for “Scrubs,” the strike may shorten the season and leave fans of the seven-year-old comedy in limbo. Series creator Bill Lawrence doesn’t want to skip out on writing a proper finale for the show (after all, he owes the fans!) and is willing to fight ABC Studios, which produces the show, to air the finale. According to Lawrence, “I will use all my leverage to end this show properly, even if it means I have to do all the voices myself and call people up to read it over the phone.” There are still seven episodes that have not been written.
