'Scrubs' Resuscitation Likely on ABC

"Scrubs" returned to production to finish a pre-writers strike episode
for NBC as well as to make a handful of new episodes likely to be
picked up by ABC, the Hollywood Reporter says, citing people it didn't
identify. ABC will probably order the medical comedy's eighth season
once the actors' contracts are finalized, the newspaper says. Both
networks declined to comment, the Reporter says.

--- This makes absolutely no sense at all. NBC's bottom-rated show,
next to Friday Night Lights, is being covetously treated like some
kind of a highly sought-after Top 10 hit by ABC after 7 less-than-
amazing seasons on the air, which is about 4 seasons longer than the
show should've stayed on. There is nothing deserving of Scrubs for it
to even continue being on the air, at least NBC doesn't seem to think
so now since it hasn't been airing it since... since when? Does
anybody even keep track of this show anymore as to when it's on or
not? What an utter waste of money on ABC's part, especially since
they already have a medical sitcom pilot in the works, This Might
Hurt, which if they feel they really need to have a medical sitcom,
then they should just go with that one instead, at least it'll be new,
if nothing else. This 'Age of Failure Is Success' never ceases to
astound me.
