Just started Scrubs season 9 last night and I really, really want to know how much ABC paid Bill Lawrence to make more of a series that very, very clearly ended.
Season 8 ended with a two-parter, called "My Finale" that had multiple bits about sitcom finales, all storylines ending, and post-credits "that's a series wrap" cuts for each character.
Coming back for another season with a new premise, 3 actors and zero writers was weird.
@nyquildotorg They likely had data - the networks love data - that showed that the show is doing #numbers and so decided to wave a load of dosh at the showrunner.
@nyquildotorg I remember Ridley Scott said to David Fincher of Alien 3 regarding studio worries that he could shoot someone pissing up a wall and it would still make money. It's all that matters to the studio.
@sullybiker I understand, I'm just curious what the actual amount was :)
