John McGinley Says 'Scrubs' Might Not Be Scrubbed After This Season

"Scrubs" co-star John C. McGinley reports that when the stock of 18 episodes comprising the eighth season of the show were shot last year, "It was assumed that would be the end. But with the numbers we pulled this week, well, don't count us out."
He adds, "You'd better believe that the show's creator, Bill Lawrence, is too smart to shut the door on different possibilities for the show." He points out that even if Zach Braff leaves the series as planned, "There could be a change of hospital settings that wouldn't preclude his coming around once in a while.
He adds, "Or we could go ahead without him. Zach is a genius, but there have been precedents dealing with the replacement of an indispensable part of a show, like when George Clooney left 'E.R.'"
McGinley tips his hat to ABC "for doing a tremendous job of publicizing our debut on the network." As he puts it, "You know this town -- success is like wildfire. If it happens, everything is golden, and everyone is patting you on the back. But if a movie has a weak opening weekend or a series pulls poor ratings, well, it's like over." He is convinced that "Scrubs" is "far, far from over."
