Braff Scrubs Out Of TV Series
From www.imdb.com:
Scrubs star Zach Braff will bow out of the hit U.S. series after completing its next season to pursue a career in directing.
The 33-year-old actor has starred in the show as Dr. John ‘J.D.’ Dorian since its inception in 2001, but admits he’s anxious to trade his on-screen role to get behind the camera.
He says, “We thought the show was over after seven years and we all got this bonus year so we’re all very excited about that. We don’t know if ABC is going to continue airing the show or not – it will all depend on this season.
“I think eight years is a great run. I’m very thankful for it but there are so many other things I’d like to do in my career and I think it’s time to move on.
“I directed (2004 film) Garden State. I’d like to direct more films and you can’t to both. It’s hard to be the lead in a TV show and also try to direct movies.”
My wife turned me on to this show several seasons ago and it’s still the only sitcom that I watch. In fact, prior to Scrubs, I don’t think I regularly watched a sitcom since Full House and Family Matters were part of ABC’s TGIF lineup.

My favorites are The Office and My Name is Earl. I know not everyone likes The Office, but I don’t see how anyone wouldn’t like Earl.
I’ve seen Scrubs a couple of times but never really got into it.
Also How I Met Your Mother and Big Bang Theory are great. Big Bang has lots of gems for the geeks in us and in Mother, Neil Patrick Harris is awe-some with the rest of a great ensemble cast.
I just watched Big Bang Theory for the first time this week and enjoyed it.
