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

[hjo3]

I think some writers must have quit this season or something... seems like the show jumped the shark when they introduced "Pvt. Dancer."

I just hope that when the show is finally canceled that NSF4 gets put on suicide watch. He the biggest fan after Donald Faison's mom.

I'm right up there with him, but sadly it has gone down hill. I got Season 4 but haven't watched but like one episode of it - just not as funny as the old ones. Seasons 1 & 2 FTW!

I thought richter's new show was funnier than my name is earl, which I find to be highly overrated.

It's odd to me that scrubs isn't in HD but the office is. It's weird for the office to be in HD (not that I'm complaining) since it is supposed to be a "documentary"

What was up with the last episode? Anyone know if this'll be the last season?

Scrubs is a great show, but let's be realistic. It only has 1 or 2 more seasons left.

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

this is actually its last season.

does it really matter? what's to see in HD?

Zach braff has already said he is coming back for season 7 and that if NBC doesn't renew the show for a 7th season, ABC will pick it up since they own the show for its final season.

Why does NBC air it then if it's an ABC show?

I remember this was discussed with the producers in an interview a while back. He said they did experiment with HD, but they found out it didn't work/wasn't necessary for the types of stories they wanted to tell (paraphrasing here). He didn't elaborate on why it wouldn't "work" though.

To be clear, ABC produced/own the shows through their Touchstone Television division or whatever they want to call it now.

but who knows, maybe when the show was in production, ABC execs passed on it or NBC decided to throw money at them to air the show. I know NBC eventually move Scrubs into their must see tv thursday lineup with Friends.
