The creator/executive producer of Scrubs is clearly miffed at NBC for the way the network decided to cancel the series. Speaking at the Television Critics Association's press tour in Beverly Hills Wednesday, Bill Lawrence said, "If you are [doing] a show on a network for six or seven years, and you make someone millions and millions of dollars, you should be able to end the show [the way you want to end the show]." As reported by Broadcasting & Cable, Lawrence said that he told the network that although he expected to be allowed to wrap up the show in eight episodes, he could do so in three. "And there wasn't a lot of interest on their part." Lawrence indicated that while he is not certain whether the show will continue beyond next season on ABC, which picked it up, he plans to film the season finale with the understanding that star Zach Braff will be leaving and "making a big deal about it."

Zach Braff Retires His "Scrubs": This upcoming season of "Scrubs" will be Zach Braff's last, said showrunner Bill Lawrence at Wednesday's Television Critics Assn. press tour panel. The ABC Studios series arrives this season after seven seasons on NBC. There was no announcement whether this would be the last season of the show, but it will be Braff's. The actor said he would be open to returning as a guest star, and could possibly also direct. "The end of the show will be about J.D. leaving the hospital," Lawrence said.

It's good to see fresh episodes of comedy – fresh episodes of anything – returning to the broadcast networks. (And for info on what'll happen in the next few weeks on "The Office," "30 Rock" and "Scrubs," go to the end of this item.)

“My Name Is Earl,” which comes back 7 p.m. Thursday on NBC, is celebrating with an hourlong episode called “I Won’t Die With a Little Help From My Friends.”

I’m generally inclined to give the show a pass – see the above statement regarding my happiness at comedy’s return. But I do wonder about what’s happened to “Earl” since it premiered.

“Earl’s” always been on the bawdy side and has frequently edged toward eyebrow-raising racial humor, but it seems as though it’s gotten more coarse and crass over its three seasons. I look back at delirious yet whimsical Season 1 episodes like “Joy’s

Scrubs, the long-running NBC hospital comedy, went back into production today.  All the cast and crew are back at work, but there's a problem: no one is sure where or when their next episode will air.  It had been assumed that Scrubs' seventh season, which started airing in the Fall, would be the show's last.  When the WGA writers' strike hit Hollywood, things got a little shaky.  NBC began waffling on whether or not they would allow Scrubs to finish up production on their final season.  Even if NBC allowed it, there was no guarantee it would ever air on the Peacock.  That's no way to treat a show that's been on the air for 7 years – at least let them have their finale. Once the writers' strike ended, in walked ABC.  It's being reported that ABC, NBC, ABC Studios and Scrubs are in serious negotiations that would allow ABC
