BACK FROM THE DEAD, LIKE LAVERNE: NBC always hated Scrubs,, at least in part because ABC/Touchstone produced and owned it, so NBC was never going to get a share of the syndication or DVD money. (NBC also hated it because, I hear, Bill Lawrence is not exactly an easy guy to get along with.) The show spent every summer on the bubble, and didn't get the funding to do a proper post-strike sendoff in this, its last season.

For Scrubs fans, the good news is that Dr. Cox says that everybody -- including Zach Braff -- is in for an 18-episode order to air on ABC. A dietary supplement, if you will, to cure your dancing Turkleton deficiency.

Incidentally, if Zach Braff bailed and they had to do it without him, could they have just inserted a cartoon, like in Who Framed Roger Rabbit? Would anybody notice?
