After nine seasons, it looks like Scrubs is going to be laid to rest. The quirky medical comedy first aired on NBC, then moved to ABC following the writers strike of 2007-2008. We thought the show might end when producer and star Zach Braff left, but in December, ABC picked up the show for a ninth season that shifted the show’s setting from the hospital to a med school and also lacked many of the previous seasons’ main characters.
Zach Braff recently posted on his Facebook (via Vulture) that the show has signed a DNR (do not resuscitate). “Many of you have asked, so here it is: it appears that ‘New Scrubs’, ‘Scrubs 2.0’, ‘Scrubs with new kids’, ‘Scrubbier’, ‘Scrubs without JD’ is no more,” Braff wrote. “It was worth a try, but alas … it didn’t work.”

ah darn. I didn't think New Scrubs was at all funnier, but I still liked it. I felt like the new kids were somehow meaner though.
Good. Maybe someone at ABC realized that Scrubs was never ever funny.
I doubt they would have kept it on so long if it wasn't funny... Zach, you must be one of those people who watches those endless medical DRAMAS. 'Miami Medical' will be great for you!
