April 21, 2005 - Rochester, NY, Special Airing

Due to NBC's recent schedule changes, fans in the Rochester area who depend on News 10 NBC to see Scrubs every week were left out in the cold last Tuesday when an episode of a program called Floyd The Food Guy aired at 9 PM.

Angry fans called their affiliate to complain, and have reported that the missed episode, "My Faith In Humanity," will air this Saturday, April 23rd @ 3:30 PM on News 10 NBC.

April 21, 2005 - Updated: Catch Sarah While You Can

Unfortunately, just as it's begun, Sarah Chalke's run in the off-broadway play Modern Orthodox will come to an abrupt end when the show closes on May 8th. Play promoters were in the process of setting up a ticket discount and special evening for Scrubs fans when this news hit and have been scrambling to make at least part of that happen for those interested in attending.

April 16, 2005 - Bid For a Cure

Scrubs has donated a cast-signed scrub top to the Bid For A Cure Breast Cancer Celebrity Charity Auction for the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation.

April 14, 2005 - Schedule Update

Though next Tuesday, April 19, was originally scheduled to air repeats of "My Malpractical Decision" and "My Female Trouble," NBC has updated its schedule to air the next new episode, "My Faith In Humanity," on that night instead.

Consequently, on the 26th, another new episode is currently scheduled to air -- "My Drive-By."

Note that this change also brings an end to the 8:30 lead-in repeats.

April 08, 2005 - Big Change at Season End

In the T.V. Guide article last month, mentioning Zach Braff's cameo appearance on Arrested Development (which airs this week, Sunday April 10th, on FOX), a hint was dropped about a big season-ending surprise that "changes everything," according to Bill Lawrence. "I don't wanna ruin the surprise, but it basically affects the dynamic of Carla, Turk, Elliot and J.D."

Well, Zap2It is now reporting that, in the spirit of realism, the end of the season will bring one of the "main group" a ticket out of Sacred Heart. Internet chatter is abuzz with speculation about "who's leaving Scrubs?" but it should be noted that while the article does give that impression with its headline, "Someone's Checking Out of 'Scrubs'," there have been no industry rumblings of unhappy cast members, and the coy quotes from Bill Lawrence give the implication that this is a plot evolution: "Because of the way they progress from intern to resident, people would have to go out and get new jobs and not always at the hospital they work in." It doesn't necessarily mean an actor is leaving the show.

Still, we'll certainly all be glued to our sets on Tuesday nights to see how this unfolds.

April 08, 2005 - Big B-Day for ZB

Belated birthday wishes to Zach Braff, who turned the Big 3-0 on April 6th.

During an interview with the U.K.'s T4, Friends's James Michael Tyler (Gunther) announced that this week he is filming an appearance on Scrubs as a marriage counselor. Draw from that whatever plot conclusions you will. More info will come as it's available.

March 25, 2005 - Double Scrubs Thru April

Last week's double billing of S3 repeats "My Catalyst" and "My Porcelain God" was the beginning of a trend for NBC, for the next few weeks at least (and barring any sudden changing of their minds) -- we can expect each new episode to be preceded by a rerun episode in the 8:30 (E/P) timeslot through most of April.

• March 29: "My Cake" (8:30, repeat) - "My Boss's Free Haircut" (9:00, new)
• April 05: "My Common Enemy" (8:30, repeat) - "My Lips Are Sealed" (9:00, new)
• April 12: "My Last Chance" (8:30, repeat) - "My Big Move" (9:00, new)

In each case, the night will be kicked off at 8 PM (E/P) by a repeat episode of Will & Grace.

In the latest post to his blog, Zach Braff says that the Fletch Won news is indeed news to him, but "I'm a huge Fletch fan and a huge Kevin Smith fan, so maybe when the time comes he'll really want me and I'll be available to do it."

In the meantime, Zach is keeping himself busy by directing a music video for Gavin DeGraw, preparing to shoot the film The Last Kiss with Jacinda Barrett (who replaces Rachel McAdams), and has shot a cameo appearance in the pilot episode of the Bill Lawrence/Garrett Donovan/Neil Goldman WB sitcom Nobody's Watching, where he plays himself.

March 09, 2005 - S4 Episode Order Extended

Christmas comes early for Scrubs fans this year -- spring is the season that just keeps on giving. Not only are the Season One DVDs finally being released, but TV Guide is reporting that NBC has ordered an additional three episodes beyond the 22-episode standard. That means a total of 25 episodes of Scrubsy goodness this season, pushing the season finale to coincide with the DVD release on May 17th.
NBC has reportedly extended its order for Joey as well, so it's assumed the network's generosity stems from a need to make up for the early season start last August in order to stay competitive through May Sweeps.

March 02, 2005 - Other Projects / Guest Star News

There have been no official announcements, nor even confirmation of interest from Braff, but more concrete word should start trickling in soon.

January 23, 2005 - Awards Season Bust

Rather than stretch the bad news out, I've saved it up to deliver in one depressing lump: Scrubs missed out on every recent award it was up for -- People's Choice (Favorite Show and Favorite Actor, Zach Braff), Golden Globe (Comedy Series Actor, Zach Braff), and the Producer's Guild Award.

No, I don't get it either.

January 20, 2005 - Scrubs Goes Sitcomy

A few fans in the L.A. area are in for a treat. Those observant enough to catch a KNBC crawl during last Tuesday's episode, "My Ocardial Infarction," who were lucky enough to enter the station's very limited contest (or those who knew where to go to bid on a tsunami relief charity auction), will be attending a live taping this Friday, January 21st, of upcoming episode "My Life in Four Cameras." Though Scrubs is typically shot in single-camera format, with no live audience, in the former North Hollywood Medical Center, this unique episode, which will air during February Sweeps, will feature several fantasy sequences incorporating the traditional, multi-camera sitcom format.

Have fun, guys! We look forward to hearing about your experience!

Just a few weeks ago, Scrubs creator Bill Lawrence had two other projects picked up -- Nobody's Watching, being developed with Neil Goldman & Garrett Donovan, and a show for comedian Brian Regan, being developed with Tim Hobert.

Now, he's going in with Eric Weinberg on Confessions of a Dog for NBC -- a show about three good friends: one recently married, one recently engaged, and one, the "Dog," who's never had a serious relationship.

Says Lawrence, "The goal for me next year is to still have a presence at 'Scrubs' while being a safety net for all these writers who I think are immensely talented."

Amid the flurry of CALL-TURK, several fans have asked the status of a Scrubs DVD. The answer from Bill Lawrence is that they are currently hard at work on the extras, and we should expect a Season One set to be released in early 2005, the Season Two set to be released soon after in the spring.

November 10, 2004 - CALL-TURK

It's no joke. In last's night's episode, "My Malpractical Decision," Turk got a new cell phone number -- 916-CALL-TURK -- which had to be purchased for use in the show. The cast and crew have been having fun surprising curious callers to the number by taking turns answering.
The "secret" was pretty well kept until today, and now message boards everywhere are buzzing with the news.

In a recent WashingtonPost.com online chat, Zach Braff confirmed what fans in the know have been aware of since day one -- Scrubs' DVD release hinges on whether and when the show secures a syndication deal, which they're hoping for this year.

Zach Braff: There will be a "Scrubs" DVD. As I understand it, they're waiting to sell the show into syndication. We're hoping that happens this year. Most people don't realize that "Scrubs" is owned by Touchstone Television, which is Disney, but it's played on NBC. Since ABC passed on "Scrubs," NBC bought it. It just adds a little bit of politics to our show, so that affects things like timeslots and DVDs.

The only switch in NBC's Tuesday night schedule is to lead out with another installment of Last Comic Standing rather than Average Joe.

As early speculation indicated, the first new episode of the season will air on August 31st in the regular Tuesday night time-slot, 9:30 PM (E/P) Fall Tuesday...

June 30, 2004 - Heather Graham may Scrub up

According to TV Guide, Heather Graham, Sarah Chalke's co-star in this summer's indie production Cake, is in preliminary talks to join Scrubs this fall as an attending psychologist who "comes in and [exposes] everyone's flaws and all their bull----," according to Bill Lawrence. "The character's a real catalyst to mess things up for everybody." The mag says that the plan is for Graham to sign on as a "full-fledged series regular," but, at this point, like similar news heard last season about frequent guest star Scott Foley, that should be treated as a generalization and rumor.

June 18, 2004 - Scrubs up for Another Humanitas...Zach up for First

The prize that "exists to encourage those who create contemporary media to use their immense power in a humanistic way, to enrich as well as entertain their viewers," now in its 30th year, recognizes those qualities in this past season's "My Screwup". Scrubs vies for the prize in the 30-Minute TV category alongside fellow finalist The Bernie Mac Show, recognized for two of its episodes -- "Eye of the Tiger" and "Saving Sergeant Tompkins". Naturally the writers of "My Screwup," Garrett Donovan and Neil Goldman, are already winners for penning such an excellent episode.

Also of note is the Sundance Feature Film category, in which Zach Braff has been recognized for his film Garden State.

We congratulate Zach, Neil & Garrett, and wish them luck at the luncheon ceremony to be held July 8th at the Universal Hilton.

May 21, 2004 - Entertainment Weekly Gives Scrubs an A

Probably only huge news because it's summer and not much is happening, but also big because EW almost never gives anything an A (in the past, the highest grade the show has received is a B+). But it's still nice to read such high praise and see a major publication giving the show a boost...especially during reruns.

You can read the glowing article, which calls Scrubs "silly, weird, occasionally sweet, and always very, very funny ... one of the best comedies on TV," in issue #767 for May 28, 2004.

May 17, 2004 - Season Four is Official

At the official NBC advertiser upfronts on Monday the 17th, the network confirmed Scrubs' return for a fourth season, with the added announcement that the deal has already been inked for Season Five as well. This is the first time the series has been renewed for more than one year at a time. The demonstration of support comes following Scrubs' ability to hold on to 99% of the coveted 18-49 audience from its lead-in, Frasier, since its move to Tuesdays at 9:30.

Though some early rumors were circulating that Scrubs might move up to 9 PM to replace the vacating Frasier, the original plan for Scrubs to remain in its current timeslot, Tuesday at 9:30 PM (ET/PT), has been confirmed.

Fall Tuesday...

• 8:00 PM Average Joe
• 9:00 PM Father of the Pride (new series)
• 9:30 PM Scrubs
• 10:00 PM Law & Order:SVU

NBC plans to roll out its Fall 2004 TV season early, right on the tail of the Summer Olympics, in order to take advantage of that expanded audience. Tentative start for Scrubs Season Four is August 31st.
