Our favorite whimsical medical comedy may be migrating networks! Next fall, it looks like ABC, owned by Disney, which also owns the Buena Vista-produced show, is picking up the steady survivor for its penultimate episode arcs.
While this news isn’t totally surprising, it is fairly bizarre. NBC, which is on the upswing, was committed to the show for six-plus years and is reluctant to air the final 18 episodes next season? Seems weird. But, you know, this definitely mitigates the increased scrutiny of a certain ABC behemoth show which clearly harvested its entire premise(s) from Sacred Heart’s wacky residents.
In our corner, we’re simply relieved that our favorite show will finish out its run (We’re also hoping the series will wrap before Zach Braff ages in dog years any further…) and we’ll see some of our best friends off in style. So six-ish episodes or so begin in April, and it will be just like seeing an old friend…
