Scrubs Starts Its Eighth Season Dodging the Cancellation Rumors

Scrubs fans get ready because the medical interns John Doran (J.D), Christopher Turk (Turk), and Elliot Reid are back for a new season at Sacred Heart! Although there were rumors of cancellation Scrubs was able to overcome the end. This is good news for the die-hard Scrubs fans that have seen every season at that.

The different seasons of Scrubs has changed in humor as the series continued. The humor was very light-hearted and not it tends to focus more on relationship drama. The writers are trying to go back to its starting seasons to bring back the fun for its dedicated fans. Bill Lawrence stated that the fans were disappointed, and well aware he wants to try and fix the lack of direction in the story line.

The seventh seasons finale of Scrubs was a regular episode that had no closure. It was also aired out of the storyline so there was no ties to the rest of the season. Fans were disappointed expecting the season to end with a bang, even with the writer's strike effecting the short amount of episodes the seventh season had aired.

Scrubs is getting ready to air its eighth season on ABC. ABC announced this past month that Scrubs will debut January 6th at 9 p.m eastern time. The fans will be happy to hear that Scrubs will double their episodes for two weeks until ABC decides what episode will take the 9:30 p.m regular season slot. Scrubs was previously on NBC for its past seven seasons, but the battle was fought and ABC won. This is the first season the Scrubs will be aired on ABC.

Scrubs sense of human is like no other. The shows main character J.D. captures the show with his little flaws. Fans fell in love with this goofy J.D. and random daydreams that have been able to scrape the seams of every episode. Even though the writer's strike shortened the seventh season of Scrubs it wasn't enough and NBC didn't want anything to do with Scrubs anymore and ABC grabbed the opportunity to continue the show.

Though rumors have surfaced that Zach Braff (J.D.) and Judy Reyes (Nurse Carla) will not be returning after the eighth season, but nothing has been cleared on whether or not it is true. If Scrubs has a ninth season it will focused on the interns that John Doran (J.D), Christopher Turk (Turk), and Elliot Reid had in the eighth season of airing.

    We'll see how everything pans out... Courtney cox only has one more episode left.... I think Kelso will be very active in this next season...

    though courtney cox may have given good ratings to the show, i feel William H. Macy could have been a better choice to replace Dr. Kelso
