"Scrubs" returns to NBC Nov. 30th - no longer in HD.

AccidenT · 11-21-06, 12:28 PM

It looks like the HD for last season's finale (which I missed because my season pass was for the SD channel and I never expected an HD episode) wasn't just a one-time thing. The Nov. 30th season premiere shows up in my HR10-250's guide with the HDTV tag. Too bad it's probably the last season.

dg28 · 11-21-06, 12:46 PM

Looking forward to it. With Earl, The Office and now Scrubs, NBC has re-captured Thursday in my book.

barth2k · 11-21-06, 01:19 PM

argghh, they couldn't do this while they had heather graham?

vpn75 · 11-21-06, 04:27 PM

Wow...I was not expecting this! I have been waiting to see Scrubs in HD for a while now. Glad they finally made the move!

And Tara Reid.

And the first 2 seasons when blonde doctor was half nekkid a lot of the time.

eric.exe · 11-21-06, 07:51 PM

Sweet. Only show I can stand on primetime.

scowl · 11-21-06, 07:59 PM

Maybe I'll watch it for the first time.

scolumbo · 11-22-06, 09:59 AM

IIRC, we will get to see Elizabeth Banks in the first couple of episodes this season.

tsc · 11-22-06, 04:03 PM

Glad to see it will be in HD -- love the show!

MrGonk · 11-22-06, 04:09 PM

am i the only one who thinks scrubs has sucked big time for at least the last season?

CPanther95 · 11-22-06, 04:18 PM

No, there's probably 2 or 3 other people that agree with you.

mx6bfast · 11-22-06, 05:47 PM

I wish they didn't move it to Thursdays, I'm already tivoing 2 other shows at 8.

Me to

Savageone79 · 11-22-06, 09:25 PM

I think last season was as good as it ever was. Still one of the best shows on tv great to have it in HD. WHy the talk of it being the last season has there been something heard about that? I hadn't heard that myself.

Zach Braff (JD) is in the last year of his contract and he says this is his last year. Besides, Scrubs hasn't exactly gotten stellar ratings for NBC.

lovswr · 11-23-06, 09:59 AM

Thank God! It's about time.

dogmanky · 11-23-06, 10:45 AM

Whether it's the last season or not, I'm excited about it being in HD and plan to watch every episode. The only show I think that is better on Television is The Office.

Woot!

cherry ghost · 11-27-06, 07:44 PM

From what I've heard, this will not be in HD.

Amnesia · 11-27-06, 08:01 PM

The schedule on NBC.com says it will not be in HD...

I wonder why not? Was HD not in their budget this year?

dohcmark8 · 11-29-06, 10:24 PM

Yup TitanTV says no HD...

Damn you NBC!

MrGonk · 11-30-06, 12:18 AM

the show is shot on 16 mm film. i don't think it'd exactly look much better in hd.

ENDContra · 11-30-06, 04:58 AM

TWC on screen guide indicates HD, for what thats worth.

Cant imagine they did last seasons finale as a one-time thing either....that seems pretty pointless.

rockandchelle · 11-30-06, 09:02 AM

Zap2It.com says that it will be in HD. I have learned not to trust TitanTV, because they are always wrong when it comes to my area. So, I guess we shall see.

BTDT · 11-30-06, 07:09 PM

Darn! I have it set to record off of the SD channel and won't be home in time to change it. Oh well, maybe next week....

icemannyr · 11-30-06, 09:03 PM

Not HD here and I am getting the network feed cause the audio is DD 5.1.
It's also not listed as being in HD on the NBC.com schedule.

Mike4HDTV · 11-30-06, 09:06 PM

No HD in Miami. This sucks. I can't believe NBC wouldn't produce this show in HD.

icemannyr · 11-30-06, 09:09 PM

My only guess is these episodes are from 2005 and never aired, back then the production of the show was in SD.

If they produce news episodes in 2006-07 they might be in HD.

ncxcstud · 11-30-06, 09:16 PM

It's a good thing this show is good enough that it doesn't 'need' to be in HD...but, I think it's really crappy that at this point (and to my knowledge) it's the only primetime comedy, on any of the 4 major networks that isn't in HD...and possibly one of the ONLY shows period (sans reality shows) that isn't in HD...come on NBC...

Savageone79 · 11-30-06, 09:22 PM

Something wierd must be up either it was a previously done episode or something. Why would they do the finale last season in hd but not any other ep?
