This Week in WTF: SCRUBS


WTF is wrong with NBC??? They air Scrubs for 7 seasons, and in the final season decide to f around and air the last shows on DVD??? Not if ABC has anything to say about it...

Veteran comedy "Scrubs" is caught in a tug-of-war between NBC and ABC. ABC is in negotiations to pick up 18 episodes of the series from Disney corporate sibling ABC Studios, which has produced the comedy for NBC since 2001....The Hollywood writers strike cut short NBC's 18-episode final-season order for the Zach Braff medical series to 12 episodes. Sources said the network has been reluctant to order additional episodes for the fall, citing the fact that it already has fresh episodes in the can. NBC reportedly floated various endgame scenarios to producers, including ordering one final episode or producing the remaining episodes direct to DVD. ...The "Scrubs" pickup will give ABC another half-hour title with a built-in audience. It also makes financial sense for Disney....NBC has five original episodes left of "Scrubs," which the network plans to air starting April 10. [reuters]

I don't get it. So are they going to show any more on NBC or not? I've watched scrubs from the beginning, but I'm pretty sure I've missed a lot of episodes because of the way they jerk it around.
