Cast of 'Scrubs' feels "very dissed"

I can't understand why NBC would do that to them. That's something Fox would do.

Despite going up against the Orange Bowl, Scrubs turned in respectable numbers last night ranking as the #2 show for both airings.

They should feel more dissed that the show isn't in high definition.

Since my first comment was eaten by the comment engine, let me try again.

Scrubs is like the Rodney Dangerfield of the NBC comedy lineup, it don't get no respect!

After watching just the 2 episodes last night it proved how wonderful the show is, smart, funny, well written and well acted.

When people complain that the TV industry is a bunch of clueless suits that have no idea what's going on, they're describing the scenario that lets Scrubs languish in a delayed return to the season while trash like Joey sits in prime Thu night time with no one watching.

Joey is the sing of what's wrong with TV, and if it were fixed Scrubs would be at the top of the sitcom heap

I read an interview the other day with John C. McGinley (Dr. Cox) about this subject. Here's a quote:

"Now that networks are allowed to produce and own their own content, the mandate at NBC is to create and own," McGinley said, citing The Office as an example. "Disney is the producer of Scrubs, so you're hosed.

"When you're the new head of NBC (Entertainment), Kevin Reilly, he's a super guy, but he needs a hit on his watch, but (we're) not that."

Didn't really get hooked on the show until this summer when a friend turned me on to the reruns. I guess I'm just happy to have found a second sitcom to watch (I love How I Met your Mother). I loved Braff in Garden State, and this show continues to be great.

I'm looking forward to PVR Ratings to be included in the Nielsons, because I think many shows like Scrubs (And AD, Veronica Mars, etc) will benefit greatly from the bump.

This isn't the first time a network has pulled something...how about Arrested Development? They put what some are thinking could be the last episode up against a bowl game and then wonder why nobody watches...

I think it's complete and utter crap how networks shuffle shows around to try to screw each other - most people will tape or ignore the shorter show in favor of an hour long drama or sports...I hope this doesn't happen with Earl going up against CSI.

I don't blame the Scrubs cast feeling dissed, i think screwed is a better word. I know that they have The Office and My Name Is Earl, but they need to give Scrubs some honor either by giving them a better timeslot (hell, the season premiere had to go up against the 2nd marquee game of the BCS Championship, Orange Bowl) OR they should offer Scrubs on the iTunes Music Store.

The show deserves better and Bill Lawrence needs to tell his networks to advertise his show more. There has to be a push for him.
