Lawrence Continued Scrubs For Crew
16 December 2009 4:06 AM, PST
| WENN
| See recent WENN news
»
Scrubs creator Bill Lawrence decided to extend the sitcom for another year to save the jobs of his loyal crew workers.
The hospital comedy garnered a cult following after its launch in 2001 but its future was seemingly left hanging earlier this year when lead actor Zach Braff announced he was quitting, and an episode entitled My Finale aired in May.
But fans were delighted when head writer Lawrence announced in June the show would move forward with a ninth season, which would follow new castmembers as they train to become doctors at medical school.
Lawrence now admits he had intended to wrap up Scrubs after eight years - but revived the show after executives at U.S. TV network ABC gave him the opportunity to renew employment for workers who helped him behind the scenes for nearly a decade.
He tells TV.com, "Season eight was the end of Scrubs and it still is, in my head. That's how I'm fine with all this stuff. That was without a doubt a series finale and we all thought the show was over.
"I've always followed the fan base and anybody that has been interested in Scrubs. (They say) 'Why would they keep going? Why didn't they just let the show end?' If any of those people actually did this for a living, I'd (ask) the same questions, because Scrubs was over...
"After eight years, we ended Scrubs and one of the heads of ABC said, 'Hey, if you want to keep going and keep a crew of a hundred people still working for a year, you can do it.'
"If a network president, in this landscape (where) there are only six or seven comedies on the air, says, 'Hey, you can essentially do a new pilot and put it on television for thirteen episodes and hopefully people will like it and it'll keep going forward. Do you want that opportunity?', you'd be an insane person to say no."
Braff signed up to star in six episodes of the reformatted show as a doctor training the cast of new students, including James Franco's actor brother Dave.

HitFix Interview: New 'Scrubs' star Michael Mosley

Michael Mosley doesn't have the resume of a sitcom star. A glance over his TV and movie credits include a larger-than-normal number of cops, detectives and FBI agents. In 2009 alone, he played a sheriff on "The Mentalist," had a tragic turn on "Kings" and watched his wife fight for her life on "Three Rivers." And in his current role, Mosley's playing a medical school burnout with a prison record. Naturally, it's a comedy. Mosley is part of the new cast of ABC's "Scrubs," playing Drew, an aspiring doctor with a troubled past who attracts the attention

Michael Mosley Aka #1 Excited About 'Scrubs' and Drew's Development

The award-winning legacy of Scrubs doesn't mean the show can't make new strides. With the series ninth season already airing, we just have to let it take its course, along with several fresh faces leading the way. One of which is actor Michael Mosley, who plays the med student with dry wit that rivals Dr. Cox's.
About his character, Mosley says he's also looking forward to seeing Drew Suffin develop. From being a jailbird to living in a yurt, there are just so many quirks he has to make the audience want to know him better. Not to mention seeing him get awkward with Denise (Eliza Coupe).

We're getting another goodbye on tonight's episode of Scrubs, which will feature the return (and departure) of two characters from the past. We're not talking about J.D. and Turk even though Dr. Cox would like to throw them out the window though. This is about Ted (Sam Lloyd) and Gooch (Kate Micucci).
On "Our Histories", the couple returns to bid farewell to Dr. Bob Kelso (Ken Jenkins). The three of them meet up in a nearby university bar to catch up on each other's lives, leading to another exodus of beloved characters. Here's hoping they get an appropriate and hilarious exit just like the Janitor.

Braff's Notorious Doppelganger

Zach Braff was devastated when he met his hero Eddie Murphy - because the film funnyman mistook him for Anne Hathaway's jailed ex Raffaelo Follieri.
Braff was thrilled when he spotted the Beverly Hills Cop star in a Hollywood coffee shop and couldn't resist the temptation to approach his idol.
But his joy was short-lived.
The Scrubs star explains, "I saw him in a coffee shop and I started shaking. I went over to him and I couldn't stop talking, I was blabbering, like 'You are my hero'.
"He then stopped me and said, 'Did anyone ever tell you you look like Anne Hathaway's boyfriend who went to jail?'
"That guy (Follieri) has been bothering me for years."

Best. Gay. Week. Ever. (December 11, 2009)

And What A Very Gay Week It Was!
Man, this week it just seemed like one fricking thing after another. If New Jersey legislators weren't getting cold feet about gay marriage, then Details was peddling incredibly stupid and homophobic humor while Uganda was debating executing gays and As the World Turns was getting canceled and GLAAD was flailing all over the place like a spastic octopus. Well, I guess the only thing to do is make fun of it all. Or die trying!
How do you solve a problem like Buju Banton? Many in the Glbt community were less than delighted when a Grammy nomination went to uber-homophobe reggae artist Buju Banton. GLAAD started an online petition urging the academy to reject Buju for a Grammy while others are urging a boycott of Grammy sponsors. (And others still are asking if GLAAD knows what GLAAD is doing.)
I, on the other hand,

Wonderland: Alzheimer's: The Musical and Scrubs | TV Review

Alzheimer's: The Musical was warm, honest and sentimental in all the right places
In the final episode of documentary series Wonderland (BBC2), Ted described the effect Alzheimer's had had on his wife. "I can't reach her," he said, peering fondly at Hilda as she stared out of the care home's net curtains. "She's gone. Disappeared. She's a lovely little stranger. But that's all she is now."
There were other couples who had lost sight of one another in dementia's neural maze. We met John and Pat, raging against the dying of the light amid a flurry of chintz, bone china – and daily crosswords. "They do help things," said John over his glasses. "I hope." And then came Tony and Valerie: he a relentlessly positive scout-leader type in beige shorts, she a sweet, prim sort, lost in a fog of non-sequiturs, unintentional puns and terribly enthusiastic misunderstandings.
"Darling?" shouted Tony from the kitchen.

On next week's Scrubs, we get one last chance to see Ted (Sam Lloyd) and the Gooch (Kate Micucci) as Kelso takes them out for some farewell drinks.
Meanwhile, we'll get a taste of the old when Elliot and Carla are out of town and J.D. and Turk head for a night out... in costume... at a med school student's party. Okay, not exactly a taste of the old, but it sounds entertaining none the less.
It looks like things crash and burn and somehow Turk ends up on the floor with Cox taking some pictures. Check out the following episode stills from "Our Histories:"

A representative for Hollywood actress Liv Tyler has blasted rumours she's dating Scrubs star Zach Braff.
The pair was linked by a recent tabloid report that suggested they had enjoyed a cosy date in a Los Angeles wine bar.
A source alleged, "Zach had his arm wrapped around her and was whispering in her ear."
But Tyler's publicist insists the meeting was purely business, telling People magazine, "They are not dating. They were meeting about a film that Zach is directing."
The Armageddon actress has been single since splitting from her husband of five years, Royston Langdon, last year.

Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel stopped by Voyeur nightclub in La last night to show their support for their friend Kenna, who is leading Jess and other celebrities up Mt. Kilimanjaro for charity next month. There are still ongoing rumors of trouble between Jt and Jess, but they looked low-key together last night. On the red carpet, Kenna talked about how the Summit on the Summit project came to be, saying that Jt was the first celebrity to show interest but won't actually be able to attend since the date changed so many times and he is busy filming Social Network. Jessica is picking up Justin's slack and taking part in the rigorous seven-day climb, and her trainer, Jason Walsh, revealed her secret to staying so fit.
Kenna teared up as he gave a speech thanking everyone for their support, especially fellow climbers like Jess, Isabel Lucas, and Lupe Fiasco.

(S01E10) It's interesting; the entire time I was watching this episode, I really couldn't pinpoint any comedic highs or annoying lows. It was just a "nice" episode. But that's not a bad thing. After spending nine episodes careening from one kind of show to another, it was good to see an episode that just slowed down, let the characters breathe, and showed why this is becoming such a good ensemble.
Oh, and it gave us a chance to see another one of the Bill Lawrence Players: Scott Foley. Forget The Unit or Felicity; I always thought Foley's best job was as the awkward Sean on Scrubs. So it's good to see him back in the fold again. And judging by the story he's in, he's going to be around for awhile.
