\"Scrubs\"Thanks to syndication profits, Scrubs<\/em> is one of those shows that seems to just keep going and going. Could this finally be the end of the road? <\/p>\n

Scrubs<\/a><\/em> follows hospital life as seen through the eyes of Dr. J.D. Dorian (Zach Braff). After having left Sacred Heart last season, he\u2019s returned to help teach a new crop of med students. The current cast includes Donald Faison, John C. McGinley, Ken Jenkins, Sarah Chalke, Eliza Coupe, Kerry Bishe, Michael Mosley, and Dave Franco.<\/p>\n

Based simply on the ratings, ABC shouldn’t have been renewed the show last season. Scrubs<\/em> had dwindled to an average of just 4.97 million viewers and a low 2.2 rating in the 18-49 demographic. It was saved because ABC\u2019s production studio produces the show and another season would bring more money in syndication. <\/p>\n

This season, with several members of the cast only popping in occasionally, the ratings have gotten even worse. Thus far, Scrubs<\/em> has averaged just a 1.6 rating and 3.7 million viewers. That’s bad — like “do not resuscitate” bad. <\/p>\n

Next week’s episode of Scrubs<\/em> marks the season finale and is titled “Our Thanks.” Or is it the series finale as the ABC.com website says. It’s possible that it’s just a website error but either way, it seems unthinkable that ABC wouldn’t finally cancel the venerable sitcom.<\/p>\n

UPDATE:<\/strong> An ABC rep emailed us to say that it’s actually the season finale and that a decision hasn’t been made about the show’s future. She didn’t however return a second email to address why ABC.com is still calling it the series finale, even 24 hours later, nor why the (supposedly official) Facebook<\/a> page (as pointed out by “Derek” in our comments) describes this week’s and next week’s as “the final two episodes of the series.” <\/p>\n

What do you think?<\/a> Is next week’s really the last episode of Scrubs<\/em>? Do you think it’s finally time to say goodbye or is there still some life left in it?<\/p>\n
