LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) -
Longtime NBC comedy "Scrubs" is heading to rival network ABC. Sources say ABC is in negotiations to pick up 18 episodes of the show from Disney corporate sibling ABC Studios, which has produced the series for NBC since 2001. Sources say the network has been reluctant to order additional episodes for next fall, citing the fact that it already has some fresh episodes in the can. NBC reportedly floated various end game scenarios to producers, including ordering one final episode, or producing the remaining episodes direct to DVD.

"Scrubs" on NBC. The network has repeatedly shifted the critically praised but

BITCH. I hadn't realized that you posted. There I go running my mouth. Sorry...:P
That's not what I meant. I hadn't read your blog when it was posted so basically it was coincidental that we both commented on this. Then again, it is a pretty juicy story. Apparently, NBC is blocking ABC from getting it, though. Sigh.
That's funny: Always beating competition.
