Bad news, apologies, and hope//

Sorry I haven't been posting much lately, I'm in the middle of moving house and feel like everything is a bit shit, which always means I'm watching Scrubs more than talking about it.

So, the news is, as you've probably read on the brilliant Scrubs HQ SOS website (that sounded a bit sarcastic but it wasn't meant to be, it's a genuinely brilliant website), that Sarah Chalke has been signed on for an ABC pilot, called Freshman.

Read more about it here.

What sucks is that it sounds really good. It sounds a bit like a mix of Cougar Town, Maneater, Sex and the City... pretty much any woman-centric comedy on television. Which equals sure fire hit. And with the loved HIMYM people behind it, they can't go wrong. This is brilliant for Sarah, a starring role will no doubt bring home the bacon for little Charlie and apparently even littler Jamie (hehe ;)), but it could be bad stuff for Scrubs.


Little Jamie, looking for the bacon...

Then again, I don't think any of us were expecting Sarah to be in season 10 if it did happen, so we've just got to hope her signing doesn't affect our chances. Wouldn't it be funny if Freshman took Scrubs' spot? A real, Randall-style punch in the crotch? But thankfully I don't think ABC are that evil...

A little glimmer of hope for Scrubs may have arisen though. Airdates for 9x12 and 9x13 have been issued for the 10th and 17th of March. Perhaps the fact they've been scheduled apart and not just a double on the tenth means that McPherson isn't really trying to burn them off and is coming round to the idea of continuing the spin-off? Let's hope, bebes, let's hope. :)
