Scrubs Returns to ABC in December

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Comedy, Prime Time, ABC, Scrubs, News

Correct me if I’m wrong, but I believe there’s a difference between “midseason” and “in the middle of the holiday season.”

Although ABC surprised many followers when they renewed Scrubs for a ninth season, the network did something not so surprising to the show: They buried it.

Instead of waiting until after the holiday craziness died down, ABC chose to bring back the comedy during the height of the shopping season. Now the program - which will shift focus from the hospital to the classroom - will have a one-hour debut on December 1.

Scrubs Moves From Hospital to Classroom

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Comedy, ABC, Scrubs, Renewals

Last year, Scrubs was facing change on a new network. This winter, the series will get new backdrop.

For the comedy’s ninth season, the program will freshen up with an entirely new focus. The day-to-day operations within Sacred Heart will be (mostly) replaced with classrooms and teachers. That’s right, Scrubs is going back to medical school.

“It’ll be a lot like Paper Chase as a comedy,” creator Bill Lawrence told Entertainment Weekly. “It’s going to be a different show. It’ll still be life-and-death stakes, but if the show is just Scrubs again in the hospital with a different person’s voiceover, it would be a disaster and people would be mad.”

Although there were will be a list of new cast members, two vets will anchor the show. John C. McGinley and Donald Faison will both appear as med school professors. Meanwhile, other favorites - including Zach Braff, Sarah Chalke, Judy Reyes and Ken Jenkins - are slated to make guest appearances. The hospital will also be seen from time to time.

No premiere date has yet been announced for the midseason show.
