Good News, Bad News: SCRUBS, BATTLESTAR GALACTICA & 90210
January 7th, 2009
Good News: Thanks to a guest starring turn by ex-FRIEND Courteney Cox and more importantly, actual promotion on behalf of ABC, last night’s season premiere of SCRUBS managed to win its timeslot among the coveted 18-24 demographic. Bad News: Too bad it still managed to get completely smoked in total viewers by both the CBS juggernaut known as THE MENTALIST and worse, THE BIGGEST LOSER on NBC. [Source]
Good News: For those of you who simply can’t resist, SyFy Portal has the scoop on how BATTLESTAR GALACTICA ends. Bad News: Television is far more fun when you don’t know what’s going to happen next. So how about demonstrating a teensy bit of self control by not clicking here! [Source]
Good News: The Janitor is finally getting a little respect, with Neil Flynn signing on the dotted line to star opposite Patricia Heaton in ABC’s comedy pilot THE MIDDLE. Bad News: If SCRUBS does get picked up for a ninth season, Sacred Heart will never be the same. [Source]
Good News: Donna Martin is returning to 90210 Bad News: Giving the writers of the fledgling re-boot yet another opportunity to delay any actual character development for the rest of the cast. [Source]

I don’t think the total viewers really matter. Scrubs did great in all the key demos, kicking The Mentalists’ ass.
I have a feeling a 9th season of Scrubs wouldn’t be set at Sacred Heart. I can’t see how they would make up reasons for all the main cast to leave the hospital, paving way for a new season. Maybe it would be a spinoff with one or two of the characters in a new location? It could be the Carla & Turk show.
