'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

There's a hole in your logic.

(and yes, in honor of these being the holidays, I'm suggesting that
you're actually using logic)

--- Aside from whatever tiresome, meaningless claim you keep making
about 18-49 as being relevant

Me, advertisers, trade publications, the networks themselves... Should
I just accept that you have issues with accepting reality and stop
trying?

[oh, by the way, I heard on CNN that 30%
of 18-39ers (39ers, not 49ers, so that makes the demo even younger)
are financially dependent on their parents these days, meaning that
18-49 numbers are worth about 1/3 less in value],

So who has more money to spend on frivolous things? Young adults who
live with their parents or borrow rent/mortgage money or older adults
who either have an extra person living with them or pay both their own
rent/mortgage and their kids'?

it'd be nice to know what that other "hole" is in my logic. Ejekate me.

Networks don't keep, much less fight over unsuccessful shows
Two networks are fighting over "Scrubs"
That means "Scrubs" is ___________________

You may need to break out a calculator and a pencil with an eraser for
this one.
