ABC welcomes “Scrubs”
A reader asked if it was unusual that ABC picked up the canceled NBC series “Scrubs.”
Not really, considering that ABC Studios (previously known as Touchstone Television) has produced the series since it debuted on NBC in 2001.
“Scrubs” concluded its seven-season run on NBC on May 8, and it is scheduled to make its ABC debut at midseason.
