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.
Scrubs would not be worth watching without the amazing acting ablities of Zach Braff. Without JD scrubs wouldnt be scrubs, without JD there would be no Turk or Elliot or Carla or Perry or anyone. Zach Braff is the fondation of scrubs without him there is nothing to watch but another stupid hospital sitcom.
Screw that.
Scrubs is NOTHING without Zach or Bill.
NOTHING.
The ratings will go down by a mile.
How retarded is that.
Isnt it enough that they’re taking away one of the best things on tv but I mean having new interns ruin it?
Why not just let it end in a way where everyone wants more.. not retarded interns trying to run a tv show.
JHEEZ.
