Why is Scrubs the only show on NBC that's not in HD?

That's pretty lame that this new show with Andy Richter has a bigger budget than Scrubs. :|

I heard it's because it's not actually filmed in a studio, but rather some old hospital building. Costs too much money to drag out the hi-def recording stuff to that location.

That's what I heard, but I can't say for sure if it's the truth :)

i think because its owned by ABC but played on NBC, so abc funds it and doesnt give money for HD

That makes me sad. I feel like it's a shadow of what it once was.

i think theyre offering ZB 800,000 an ep for next season. They seem to just not care at all about storylines this season. Wasted 2 episodes on that clip show and the (only ep of scrubs i have ever turned off) stupid musical.

Yeah, the clips show was just like "WTF".
They were deliberately being lazy and lame.

I hate to agree with this but was thinking the same thing tonight while watching it.

Its just lost its feel or something. Don't get me wrong, I still laugh here and there, but not like it used to make me.

Damn now I can't post :(

Maybe one day when you least expect it!!! wuhahahahah!

Well with 1 or 2 more seasons, that's still 7/8 seasons total.

Not bad.

I agree, the musical....was too common and the clip episode was ridiculous.

There was an interview with Bill Lawrence where this was mentioned. Apparently they did do one episode in HD, but it didn't work out with the style of the show.

Yeah, and it sucks. Just like all his other shows.

It's a whole hell of a lot better than that steaming peace Andy Richter Controls the Universe.

Andy Richter isn't funny. He was ok when he was on Conan O'Brien. I don't know why people keep giving him chances, and I can't believe they preempted 30 Rock for it. 30 Rock is hilarious.

Who knows? Why does Carson Daly still have a show?

I'm upset about this too.

But you know what even Friends wasn't shot in HD atleast the last two seasons and it NBC's ratings monster. You'd think they get Warner Bros to do it in HD.

Lies!

They just bumped the main character's salary to 350k an episode.

It's gotta hit $1 million an episode before we gotta worry.

Damn, that makes me sad. I like Scrubs. I'm at Season 4 though... I don't watch TV--I just buy the DVDz as they come out. Guess I'll have to find a new show to start watching again.
