![On November 5, 2007 the Writers Guild of America went on strike. This strike made it impossible for WGA members, including Scrubs creator Bill Lawrence and his writers, to write for television or film. As of November 5th, only eleven of Scrubs' eighteen episode seventh season had been completely written.[19] Lawrence refused to cross any WGA picket lines to serve any of his duties for the show, so ABC Studios had non-WGA members finish episode twelve, which prior to the strike Lawrence was pressured by ABC Studios to retool as a series finalé, which he refused to do.[19] Since the production of episode twelve, the production of Scrubs has been on an indefinite hiatus along with nearly every television program written by Writers Guild of America members. This hiatus has hampered the possibility of a legitimate series finale episode. Many of the cast have been picketing alongside the crew, including Zach Braff, Sarah Chalke, Donald Faison, Judy Reyes, Neil Flynn, Ken Jenkins, Christa Miller and John C. McGinley.[20]
Due to the possibility of no final episode of Scrubs being produced Bill Lawrence has assured the Scrubs fanbase that he will use all his leverage to end the show properly.[19] He has suggested various solutions including a straight-to-DVD release of the final episode,[21] asking NBC to extend Scrubs into the 2008-2009 television season[19] effectively creating an 8th season or a television movie. At a farewell panel session at the Paley Center for Media, Lawrence said he will definitely not leave any loose ends and he will make sure the episodes are produced, most likely for DVD.[22]
On November 19, 2007, NBC announced that The Office and Scrubs (the 9:00PM hour) were going to be replaced by Celebrity Apprentice on January 3, 2008[23] (originally January 3,[24] then moved to January 10,[25] then moved back again to January 3[23]). In spite of this, Scrubs was to be relocated to the 8:30PM timeslot.[26][27] Repeats of The Office and My Name Is Earl were to serve as a lead-in.[26]
After announcing return dates of January 17 and January 24, NBC later announced that they would leave Scrubs on hiatus for the time being and fill the 8-9pm timeslot with various specials and repeats.[28]
Episodes 11 and 12 have been filmed,[29] although Lawrence was absent. Filming of episode 11 was disrupted by picketers - it was believed that Lawrence had tipped the picketers off about the filming schedule, although these beliefs turned out to be false as Lawrence quickly drove to the set to "keep the peace".[29]
On February 11, 2008, it was announced that the Writer's Strike would be coming to an end and Bill Lawrence subsequently announced that the final episodes of Scrubs would be produced, although he is currently unsure where or how they will be distributed.[30]
On February 13, 2008, NBC announced that Scrubs will resume with new episodes with other comedy series on April 10, 2008 at 9:30/8:30c on NBC.
