Late on Thursday, the Hollywood Reporter broke news that ABC is in negotiations to pick up 18 episodes of Scrubs for 2008-09. NBC is reportedly not thrilled — while ABC actually owns the show, NBC says it still has the right to negotiate for its future — but if this news pans out, it means the remaining five episodes set to air this Spring would not be the end of the road for the series. In fact, this could potentially keep Scrubs on the air for a while, if Zach Braff and the gang are up for it.
This news is at once exciting and worrisome to me. At the very least, this might secure the show the proper series finale that it and its fans deserve and that creator Bill Lawrence wants to make. On the other hand, if the show outstays its welcome on the airwaves, no one may end up caring about its finale anyway. How do you feel? Do you want more seasons of Scrubs?

I would definitely watch. Scrubs is such a great and funny show!
I also love the "Related Network Stories"; hilarious!
1I would worry about ABC humor vs. NBC humor for the show. It would be nice to see it to the end but I would want it more on Bill Lawerence's terms instead of the studios
2My husband LOVES IT still, but I've not been as impressed with it for a while now...
3The ball-n-chain and I always watch Scrubs while we eat dinner. I love Jordan! She's my idol!
4It still is the best show no one is watching!
5I'm for this 100%!!! As long as the entire cast and crew is back, then I'm there!!!
6i love scrubs, i think it and the office are two of the smartest comedies on tv these days!
7I would watch because well, I've always watched Scrubs. But I find this season already a bit down compared to what it used to be so I don't know if another one would be that good. Wait and see...
8LOVE Scrubs!
I really was sad that it was going to be the final season. I really hope
that NBC picks it up again though, because truthfully I like what the NBC censors will allow them to get away with. ABC is too Disney with their humor.
9i haven't watched it this season, but plan to later. a good series finale would be welcome, but a whole season?! maybe a finale movie instead? it could be part musical!
10I can't stand Zack Braff!
11i can't stand it and don't understand how it even got this far.
12This is one of my and my Husband's favorite shows. We'll keep watching it as long as the cast stays in tact.
13I love Scrubs!!! But if they're going to sacrifice quality for quantity, I'm okay with getting a proper closure on Season 7.
14i love the show, and i don't think nbc has treated it properly on their network, so why shouldn't bill lawrence take it to another home that actually wants it? it's clear that nbc hasn't wanted it in the past, and is only trying to do this b/c abc has shown interest.
15Yes yes yes! Please Zach, please???????????????
16Oh my goodness yes! I need me some JD and Turk!
17i am in love with scrubs!! another season would be amazing.
18I love Scrubs! I'll watch it as long as they keep cranking out episodes. I think one of the downfalls for Scrubs on NBC is that NBC puts it on when Grey's Anatomy is on and I think that's one of the reasons why it doesn't get tons of viewers.
19i think the earlier episodes are better, but i still love the show. i would love to see it continue for a season or two and tie up the loose ends.
20I like watching this show
