Scrubs on track for a sixth season

The future of Scrubs seemed a little iffy earlier this season, when NBC shelved it until after the New Year. Scrubs creator Bill Lawrence and star Zach Braff talked a lot about how the entire staff went whole hog because they thought this might be the last season, and how they could end up on ABC if NBC doesn't want them anymore. He sort-of says it in this New York Times article, but Bill Lawrence flat-out told E! that he's confident Scrubs will have a season six, whether it's on NBC or ABC. And, it's probably not leaving NBC any time soon.

Scrubs' ratings have been admirable so far this season (since new episodes started airing in January). Until American Idol started, it was averaging 8 million viewers a night. Those numbers are down, but still impressive. And, Scrubs is doing well that that key demographic: 18-49 viewers.

I guess Scrubs will be around long enough for us to find out the name of Turk and Carla's baby!
