Scrubs has just completed its fifth season. Last year I was worried about whether or not there would be a fifth. When the Fall schedules were announced last Spring, Scrubs was nowhere to be seen on NBC's lineup. It was logical to start becoming concerned about its future. Later I learned that there were episodes in production, but still no announcement about when it would be back on. In November (or was it December?) it was finally announced that the show would be returning in January. January brought with it weekly double doses of new episodes. They made for glorious times. Now we are back into the drought with no new episodes until the -- hopefully -- beginning of the sixth season.
The finale was a one hour, two part event, leading off with "My Urologist." The episode kicks off with Turk trying, and failing to deal with Carla's ever changing pregnancy-fueled moods. Turk is destined to lose these confrontations. The scene shifts to the hospital where JD spies Turk talking to an attractive young doctor whom he does not recognize. He succeeds in making a fool of himself, as she has been there as long as he has. Wondering how that can be, Turk lets him in on a secret -- he cannot see women who wear wedding rings.
JD finds himself becoming smitten with the pretty doc, aka Dr. Kim Briggs. The problem is that she is married, or is she? He learns from Elliot that she wears the ring to keep from being hit on, as she was divorced the year prior. Elliot is having problems of her own, as she is thinking of ending things with Keith. That news has gotten under Carla's skin, who is now determined to get her to change her mind. Don't you love how one thread flows into another?
Not to be forgotten, Janitor engages in a battle of wills with Dr. Kelso. Kelso has Janitor go to his home to retrieve some money. Janitor returns with the money, and brand new leather jacket. Just where did he get that money? Who will win this battle? Is it possible to have a winner with these two nefarious minds?

I love this show and I think it's kind of wrong that we'll likely have to wait until January (again) for it to return (it's not on NBC's fall schedule this year either).

It looks like Scrubs Season 6 will be the same as Season 5, with it probably debuting midseason but showing back-to-back new episodes... but the question is: can I wait that long?

Yeah, I dont get why they use it as a midseason replacement.

Oh my goodness! Scrubs is my all time favorite show, I love the chemistry between the actors and their characters and the fact that it is smart humor mixed with silly slapstick stunts! The all around best show on tv EVER!

Do we realy have to wait until January?
I am from germany and we had actually just 3 seasons running on the TV, so I watched the last 2 seasons in English and it was pretty cool.
It realy sucks that it takes that long time until the seasons will be shown in germany.
