I can't do this all on my own

One of my favorite TV shows is "Scrubs," on NBC. I've loyally watched it since its debut in 2001, and this summer, I bought all six seasons on DVD. It's been revealed that this will be Scrubs' seventh and final season, but with the writer strike, the season may not even get completed. I've read where 12 of the 18 episodes have been filmed, but the final six are still in limbo. It's been rumored that the final six may not ever be filmed, and if they are, the only way to see them is to buy the DVD, as they may get filmed too late to be seen on TV. For someone who's literally seen ever episode, this is the worst possible senario. In all honesty, they probably shoulda wrapped things up at the end of season six, but Bill Lawrence (the exec producer) wanted to keep things going for one more year, but it was unclear if NBC would pick it up again. Anyway, rumor has it that ABC told Lawrence to go ahead with season seven, because if NBC didn't pick it up, ABC would. Well, NBC did pick it up, right on time to air about four episodes before the strik began. Apparently, on January 24, they're gonna start showing the rest of the already filmed episodes, but no word on if the final six will make it to TV. Sorry for the rant about something non-sports related, I've included a link from last month that includes a couple statements from Lawrence about his feelings on the unfortunate ending of his brainchild, Scrubs.
