"My Scrubs Post"

So, Scrubs seems to be at a cross roads. Zack Braff is not sure if he wants to come back for season 7, and its at the point that the creators say they will not do a 7th season withouth him. NBC has told Scrubs to not film a final epsiode. Which makes me worried, because NBC at the saem time has not said they will be back for a season 7. Their are rumors that ABC might pick up Scrubs next year, the reason is that ABC is owned by Disney, who also owns touchtone which makes Scrubs. This is why Scrubs is not shown in HD, because touchtone doens't want to spend the money on it. Season 6, has not been that bad, but it is really starting to show signs of rot. Yeah the musical episode was a hoot, and the Iraq epsiode was pretty intresting, but story arch wise they are starting to tread water, and the one they are doing this season will have to end soon. Tonight, however what they did there was no excuse for. They did a clip show, which is basically highlights of the entire series, funny, romantic and sad linked by about 5 mins of new footage. In the era of tv shows on DVDs, there should be some kind of law against shows like this. I laughed when JD pretty much told the viewers tonights epsiode was going to be lame (The Simpsons do the same inside joke each clip show). Someone is supposed to die this season on SCrubs, but I am starting to think the show did tonight. I hope it bounces back next week, and as sad it is to say, I think its time to retire the show. I would hate for it to be on occassionally like King of Queens was this year, or have the show burned off in the summer with new shows like Drew Carey was a few years ago. NBC has a history jerking Scrubs around, so maybe the creators and cast should just play it safe and give fans a good send off this May. The season isnt awful, but I don't think they have enough jokes or ideas to fill a 7th season. Might be time to pull the plug.

Next week the cast of Scrubs will befriend an alien and help him escape the clutches of Rosco P Coletrain.
