E! Online's Watch With Kristin blog is reporting that Scrubs will move to ABC for the 2008–2009 season. The show's future has been in doubt for some time at NBC, and producers were looking for another home on the likelihood that the network wouldn't renew it. But more episodes are filming now, says Kristin, and "word around town is that ABC is inches away from closing the deal."

So first How I Met Your Mother turns into Scrubs, and now the actual Scrubs is getting another year. We guess we don't hate the show or anything — any program that ensures the continued employment of John C. McGinley can't be all bad — but seriously, if this winds up being the final nail in Cavemen's coffin, we're gonna be pissed. And if Steve McPherson really wanted to stick it to his rival, Ben Silverman, shouldn't he steal a show that Silverman actually likes?
