Like a tipsy party guest, it's going to be pretty tough for "Scrubs" to gracefully exit NBC.
The network's final "Scrubs" episode will air Thursday, ending its seven-season run. But you'd never know it from watching NBC or perusing the entertainment media. At the conclusion of a recent episode, viewers were simply urged to check out the show's interactive features on NBC.com.
The super low-key exit for "Scrubs" is tied to what has become the worst-kept secret in Hollywood: "Scrubs" is moving to ABC.

The long-pending deal for ABC to pick up 18 episodes of "Scrubs" next season is essentially done.
Production has been under way for weeks, while the cast and crew have been encouraged to keep quiet. A television studio producing a drama costing more than $1 million per episode without anybody saying who the episodes are for is considered highly unusual, if not a little weird.
"This has been a rumor for a month, but everyone will know the outcome May 13 during our upfronts," says Charissa Gilmore, ABC Studio's vice president of media relations. Gilmore added that if this were to happen, it wouldn't be a major leap because ABC Studios produces the show, although it currently airs on the Peacock network.
A network spokesperson said NBC will run promos for the final "Scrubs" episode and gamely bill it as "a season finale" rather than "a series finale."
