Hmmm... something's missing. What could it be? Oh right, SCRUBS!! No worries, though, series star Zach Braff officially announced what we've all been expecting for some time now -- the medical comedy will move to ABC this fall for its 8th and final season. Look for the official network announcement tomorrow during ABC's Upfront presentation. For more on NBC's schedule, visit The Futon Critic.

I am not impressed with this line-up at all. Sounds like a pretty disappointing season.
