Scrubs is back on ABC tonight. But yesterday, Zach Braff was on Jeopardy, reading the category Fake Doctors, Real Actors.
While he did a great job, the clues were disappointing. They were easy, but missed a lot of great TV doctors. And yes, Grey’s Anatomy was represented because that seems to be the only medical show out there.
Seriously, why didn’t they have this question: “This actor starred in a sitcom and drama with the same title, ER.”
For almost 16 years, fans have wanted more Scrubs. And in two weeks, they are finally going to get new episodes.
Today, ABC released the first look at the revival, and does it feel like you remembered?
The sequel is described as, J.D. (Zach Braff) and Turk (Donald Faison) scrub in together for the first time in a long time: Medicine has changed; interns have changed; but their bromance has stood the test of time. Characters new and old navigate the waters of Sacred Heart with laughter, heart and some surprises along the way.
The duo will be joined by original cast members Sarah Chalke, Judy Reyes, and John McGinley, along with newcomers Vanessa Bayer, Joel Kim Booster, Ava Bunn, Jacob Dudman, David Gridley, Phill Lewis, Robert Maschio, X Mayo, Layla Mohammadi, Amanda Morrow and Michael James Scott.
Scrubs premieres with two episodes on February 25th.
I don’t know about you, but I can’t wait for the new seasons of Will Trent and The Rookie. And today, ABC finally announced when those shows and a few others will be back.
The big news is that American Idol is starting earlier in the year, will only air one night, and the contestants are not going to Hollywood for the second part of televised auditions. Instead, they are going to Nashville for one round.
Do I smell a 9-1-1: Nashville/American Idol crossover episode in the works? I wouldn’t be surprised if that is in the works.
And talking about in the works, Scrubs is no longer in that stage and returns to ABC, after a 15-year break, on February 25th with back-to-back episodes.
For years, fans have been wanting Scrubs to check back in with new episodes, and ABC said they are finally making that happen. However, I never believe it is happening until it happens.
Today, it was confirmed that it is happening because Zach Braff, Donald Faison, Sarah Chalke, Judy Reyes, John C. McGinley, and producer Bill Lawrence showed up for their first table read for the sequel!
Looking at them in this photo, it is hard to believe it has been 15 years since their show ended because they look just as close and like they have not aged a day since the series finale!
Before Zach Braff was dating Sarah Chalke on Scrubs, he was the woman in the relationship in My Summer as a Girl. How pretty was the 19-year-old in that 1994 telemovie?
