WGA Strike: Scrubs doesn't have a series finale - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Bill Lawrence, creator of Scrubs, refused to write an "emergency" series finale to use in case of a strike. According to The Hollywood Reporter, ABC studios, which produces Scrubs, asked Lawrence to quickly write a series finale before the strike began. The studio apparently asked Lawrence to write a finale where "two people kiss" to cap off the series. But Lawrence stuck to his regular writing schedule for Scrubs, which means there is nothing written for a series finale.

I hope Scrubs gets a proper send-off. I also hope this is the year it finally gets recognized by the Emmys and other awards shows. To me, Scrubs is the Wings of the 00's. Both shows, IMHO, are great shows that were largely neglected by NBC and got little, if any, of the respect they rightfully deserved.
