Zach Braff Is Leaving Scrubs

Zach Braff will exit Scrubs at the end of the upcoming eighth season, Variety reports.

Creator Bill Lawrence revealed the news at the Television Critics Association press tour panel, saying: "The end of the show will be about J.D. leaving the hospital. When you leave, it's about holding on to your relationships."

Lawrence indicated that the sitcom will continue into a ninth season, stating: "You can't kill this show."

Braff said that he may return to the series as a guest star and possibly to direct an episode. It is thought that he will now turn his attention to helming the indie drama Open Hearts, his directorial follow-up to 2005's well-received Garden State.

The eighth season of Scrubs is scheduled to premiere on its new home ABC midseason.

I started watching the show every now and then on TV last year and the old episodes are really good. I haven't watched the new ones but I don't think this is going to make the show any better :(

Laughing at the, "You can't kill this show." I think they just did.

if he leaves it won't make any difference. he's already not really there. they've reduced his character to a bumbling idot.

you know, i was watching an old episode just yesterday, and he was talking about how you don't pull a pitcher out of the game when he's throwing a no hitter.

in the later episodes, JD is supposed to be completely sports dumb. i hate when shows contradict themselves like that, especially shows that were once very smart and witty.

that's probably why he's saying "screw you guys, I'm going home."

he should have left looooooong ago. They boosted his popularity and he should have ran then, now hes a fuckin scrub for life. (sorta like all the friends characters, well... almost all of them)
