‘Scrubs’ Fans, Rejoice!
The Laughs Check In, But They Don’t Check Out
In case you didn’t know, basic cable’s Comedy Central acquired the rights to air NBC’s hilarious and still very-much-alive sitcom Scrubs. Already renewed for a sixth season, currently slated to begin in 2007, on the alphabetical network, the half-hour ensemble follows the misadventures of assorted medical professionals at the fictional teaching hospital Sacred Heart.
The popular, critically acclaimed series is famous for its zany tone and whimsically whacky scenarios—often featuring lead actor and now movie star, Zach Braff—in addition to frequent cameos by thespians of note from both film and television. As of Monday, September 18, Comedy Central plans to broadcast the show in two-episode blocks, five weekday nights per week, starting at 7pm EST. If you miss the evening editions, however, never fear, because as with most basic-cable fare, numerous repeats are also scheduled throughout the weekends and wee-morning hours.
