It looks like ABC listens to the fans after all. The word is now out that Scrubs is being renewed by ABC for a “Transitional” 9th Season. Many of the main cast members (Zach Braff included) have signed on to the first six episodes, as a way to transition to the new show. Also in the works is a change in format, from single camera to multi-camera. This may indicate a more ensemble-style flavor to future episodes, as does the lack of any main cast member signing on for a full season.

From the fans perspective, this seems like good news. On the one hand, we have previously seen the users of Addicted to Scrubs heavily favor a new season. On the other, lowering the impact of a finale that was called “perfect” by many may not sit well with the faithful.

So is ABC making the right move? Rather than deciding for ourselves, we’ll let the fans have the last word:

Ampa - “If they do decide to continue Scrubs in some way I think it would have to be sort of a spin-off because yeah, JD was the focus for most of the show. At the same time all the characters around him developed into people we enjoy watching.”

U-Gene - “What is the point of the show if three of the main characters leave and one of them is what the show is based around?”

Joe - “Season 8 wasn’t all that great, but it was still nice to have. I would probably feel the same way about a spin off. Nothing will ever replace the earlier season of scrubs, but i would tune in to catch up with sacred heart. Also, I really liked the ending of the finale. If that is how it ends, it did the show justice.”
