Scrubs

Season 8 might not be the end

TV Squad had a chance to sit down with Scrubs creator Bill Lawrence, and they learned some very interesting things.

First, season 8 might not be the end. However, it’s almost certain that Bill will be gone, along with Zach Braff. One possibility is that they’re wanting to continue the show in the style of ER, with cast members rotating in and out. That could explain the new interns that were brought in — will they groom them to be the stars of season 9?

Regarding Bill and Zach leaving the show, Bill had this to say:

“I would imagine it’s my last year of the show. And so I’m going to write it as such (like it’s the last season) and he’s going to act it as such.”

It’ll certainly be a different show without Zach, but it’ll be interesting to see what happens.

IGN has just put up a nice review of season seven. I agree with their summary:

This season wasn’t the height of scrubs, but it was still a good season.

Fortunately, because of the writer’s strike the show isn’t quite over yet. Bill Lawrence, a writer for Scrubs, has quite a bit to say about season eight. It’s destined to be the final season, and hopefully they’ll wrap up all of the storylines. Bill also says that we should expect to see all of our favorite guest stars.

It should be a great season!

TV Guide is reporting that Betsy Beutler (The Black Donnellys), Eliza Coupe (12 Miles of Bad Road on HBO) and Aziz Ansari (Human Giant on MTV) are joining the cast for the fall 2008 season in a recurring role.

Also, in case you haven’t heard, Scrubs has moved from NBC to ABC starting this fall. There was talk of canceling the show completely, so it was nice to see ABC pick it up.
