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.
