The end of Scrubs as we know it? For real this time?

Seems the ratings of Scrubs' return are less than ideal. They ordered 13 episodes, with a backorder of 9 more if it went well. Seems as if ABC is not ordering the last 9. From EW's Michael Ausiello:

Short to the point, from Aussiello:

Question: Will ABC order the back-nine episodes of Scrubs? I’m loving the new direction, and I don’t want the show to end on an unresolved note in episode 13. —Rion
Ausiello: I’m afraid I’ve only got bad news here. No back-nine, and no closure in episode 13. “It’s just a routine episode,” says an insider of what could turn out to be the show’s series finale. “There’s no special moment or anything.”

Hmm, so I guess this could be it guys. I like the new reincarnation, but having lost almost all the old cast, it doesn't feel the same to me anymore. I'm glad to see John in anything, but I fear the american public just doesn't feel the same way anymore about the show. It's a sad way to end the series, as the finale last season was well done and a great way to say goodbye to all our friends at Sacred Heart.

Time will tell now.
