As I found out when I first spoke to Bill Lawrence last year, it doesn’t take much to get the creator of Scrubs going. All it might take is a quick question and he’ll go off on a monologue that is not only funny, but has a lot of good information as well.
That’s what I got from him when I spoke to him earlier this week. Yes, we went over what happened with NBC after the writers’ strike and how his show was able to make the shift to ABC. But, since he already spoke about that at length, we talked more about why NBC treated the show like it did, what creative shifts he’s going to make to the show this year (expect to see less baby and relationship stuff this year, and more of the medical drama and comedy that got people hooked on the show). And, of course, he also dropped the mini-bombshell that I posted about earlier in the week, that there might be a ninth, “next generation” season of Scrubs.
I’ll warn you right now, this is a long transcript, which is why we’re splitting it into three parts. But it’s got a lot of good information, and if you’re patient, you’ll find some interesting spoilers about what’s going to happen next year on the show (production on eighth season should be wrapped up by August, according to Lawrence). So, buckle up and enjoy the ride…
