UPDATED 5.30.09: So apparently ABC has resigned Scrubs to a 9th season despite the amazing finale, which is mentioned at length below. As of now, Zach Braff & Sarah Chalke have signed on for 6 episodes and it's rumored that the show will be treated as a "Frasier" to Scrubs' "Cheers," by either focusing on a different character than J.D. or by being solely about the new interns introduced over the past season.
Personally, I'm not too sure how I feel about this because, as a fan, I'll watch the new show at the beginning for the curiousity of what they're going to do with it, but am very nervous for them as they'll have a LONG way to go to match the pay-off of the 8th season/series finale.

Thank you, Scrubs.I didn't really enjoy this show the first few times I watched, but it eventually started to creep into my regular viewing thanks to syndication. The rapid-fire cutaways, the obnoxious situations, the relatable characters, & the emotional sentiment that subtly reverberated 
through each episode was hard not to feel connected to. The series finale saw characters from the past make cameos, long-forgotten story references, and the use of Peter Gabriel's "The Book of Love" in the final moments was an amazingly placed gracenote.
There's talk that the show went a season or two too long & I can see that point, but the finale this week was really well done & a fitting way to send the beloved series out. There's also talk of them trying to work out a Season 9 since ABC was treating them so well, but I think that would be a mistake. It ended in such a great way that anything more would be taking away from what creator Bill Lawrence (who finally had a cameo this season & shared the very last scene of the series with Zach Braff) & the rest of the cast & crew has accomplished.

The Boston Red Sox set an MLB record by scoring 12 runs in one inning before recording a single out. They're really hitting on all cylinders right now.
