Good News, Bad News: SCRUBS, CHUCK & THE HILLS
April 28th, 2009
Good News: Talks are said to be heating up between Bill Lawrence and ABC to bring back SCRUBS for a ninth season. Bad News: It remains to be seen if Sacred Heart will be able to withstand only occasional visits by commitment phobic Zach Braff and co-stars John C McGinley, Donald Faison and Neil Flynn who have already committed to new high profile pilots currently in development.

Good News: Lauren Conrad has finally made good on her promise to exit THE HILLS. Bad News: Which means expect even more screen time for media whores Heidi and Spencer when season five returns in the fall. [Source]
Good News: CHUCK creator Josh Schwartz tells TVGuide.com that the “#savechuck campaign that started on the blogs and with the critics and with the fans, on Facebook and Twitter has been one of the most amazing experiences of my life to witness.” Bad New: An awesome campaign didn’t exactly translate into a bump in the ratings, with there being almost no discernible difference between CHUCK’s numbers week-to-week.

1. I don’t think their pilots getting picked up would mean zero visits to Scrubs. It’s possible they could show up sometimes. Still, the show wouldn’t be the same. With how good it has been this year, they may as well let it retire on a high note.
2. Anything about The Hills that doesn’t involve the show leaving the air forever is bad news.
3. The ratings have held up well and even increased slightly. This is good news with how Southland, Parks and Rec, and Earl have all been going downhill week-to-week. Chuck puts up a solid 18-49 number matching the NBC average, even though it has one of the toughest timeslots on TV. No other NBC show goes up against House, BBT/HIMYM, DWTS, and even Gossip Girl.
