According to postchronicle.com, Zach Braff has confirmed he will be leaving Scrubs after season 8 to pursue other interest. Much like any other sane person in the universe he says, “(I left Scrubs because) there’s so much I want to do with my life.” No word on whether or not these “things” may or may not include updating his blog, which receives thousands of visits a day despite being updated once a year or whenever he accidentally trips over his keyboard.

No word yet on whether or not Scrubs will continue past season 8, but with Zach, Bill Laurence (creator) and Judy Judy Reyes (Carla) leaving despite finding a New home on ABC fans seems doubtful the should would be the same.

Noticed that buddytv.com had written up an excellent article one of my favorite actors, John C. McGinley.  John has been in over 3 billion films and tv shows(seriously, this guys is in EVERYTHING!) and had gotten to play the truly awesome role of Dr. Cox on Scrubs.  If you don’t know his name you would know his face, as the buddytv.com article puts it of John:

It must be weird to be known for your face more so than your name.

You may have also seen him as Miller Lite’s new beer ‘Commish’. The article sounds like a eulogy but rest assured John McGinley is still being as awesome as ever so whether it be in Scrubs, commercials or a random movie role where you say “Who is that guy? I see him everywhere!”, enjoy the master in action!

From ZachBraff.com:

I’ve also been stalling to talk about some big Scrubs news, however I’ve just been informed that I’m not allowed to talk about anything related to Scrubs and it’s current fate. What I can tell you is that we are currently shooting 18 episodes for the 8th season. I am not allowed to discuss where one might watch them. (More news to come.)
But I can tell you that the coolest episode we’ve ever done is going to air on May 8th at 8:30(E/P). I directed it and it’s a GIANT homage to “The Princess Bride”. Dr. Cox has to make up a fairy tale for his son and he does so using everything that happened in the hospital that day. It’s by far the most epic (and expensive) episode we’ve ever done. (Monsters, potions, evil wizards, giants, hunchbacks, gnomes – like “World of Warcraft”, but Scrubs…)
I’ll be posting an exclusive clip on this site in a few days.

Did you hear that! It’s honestly difficult to tell which is more exciting! Don’t get me wrong, the chance that Scrubs will be around for a Season 8 (regardless or where) is truly awesome. However… the princess Bride is quite possibly the greatest movie ever made! I may even wear my fabulous Inigo Montoya shirt for the occasion.

In honor of such an amazing even I have reopened the Favorite Princess Bride Character poll temporarily. Vote while you can and don’t miss out on this episode of Scrubs called My Princess.

Update:

Here are some links about the episode that you might enjoy. It looks extremely interesting!

K…It’s the second commercial break of Scrubs but I had to check our rateyourdoc.org. The site was mentioned on tonight episode of Scrubs titled My #1 Doc. I love it when shows do things like this. Some other great examples are thetoddtime.com from Scrubs and marshallandlilywedding.com from How I Met Your Mother. Currently Dr. Jan Itor has taken a commanding lead atop the board ans the highest rated doctor as Sacred Fart…er…Hart… (that’s always funny!).

Tonight’s episode I though was very good, I laughed way too hard at times. My favorite quote from tonight was “Lie Forever! It’s the natural way of communication between men and women.” by Dr. Bob Kelso. While I laughed at it I did happen to get some menacing looks from my wife….something tells me she didn’t think it was as funny. hmm…

rateyourdoc.org has several links off the site. Like the Janitorial newspaper (pdf) or the section where you can actually rate your favorite doctor at Sacred Heart (…fart…). Do check out the site though. I mean seriously, how often do shows do stuff like this? And with this being the final season of Scrubs who knows how many more chances you will get.

Until later, be awesome.

First off..was caramel bear Efren Ramirez the actor who played Pedro from Napoleon Dynamite? Just curious..that did make me laugh. The episode tonight was pretty decent. Kind left you feeling a little sad…though maybe I just feel like that because it’s coming to an end this season… hold on I need a moment….

……………<ahemmmm>….

Thanks, back now. I did think the way that Kelso’s age will play into him not being chief of Medicine anymore was pretty obvious. As I found out afterward from my good friends over at the tv.com forum, this was a spoiler from earlier… I really should read those sometime. No serious…I usually do read those, how did I miss that? Anyways. I’ve always loved Dr. Kelso (Ken Jenkins). I can’t imagine anyone playing the character more perfectly.

I do think they missed an opportunity by not having even a mention of Ben since Dr. Cox was having to tell a kid about leukemia. I heard the writers were going to try to bring back most of the guest stars from the past, so I thought (since Ben is now dead) that would be a good way to include Brenden Frasier. I suppose you only have so much time to get stuff in. And it now seems there could be even less time for Scrubs (article link). With only 12 of the 18 promised episodes written who knows what will happen with scrubs. Ideally, the strike would end soon and things would go off without a hitch. Optimistic Aaron would hope that if the strike didn’t end before the next script get written that Scrubs would have to go a whole other season to finish up. Realistic Aaron, on the other hand, realizes that that probably wouldn’t happen. Let’s just hold out hope that things go well and the Series at least get a sound and resolved ending.

…oh. And Hooch is crazy.
