Scrubs creator Bill Lawrence sat down with TVGuide’s Michael Ausiello for a chat about the move over to ABC. He had some harsh words, to say the least, about the show’s former home network of NBC. Here are a few highlights:

When the strike ended, we told NBC that, even though we had another seven episodes mapped out, we could do it in three, and they just didn’t have any interest. Total harsh buzz of not giving a s–t about a show that had been on the network for seven years and made them millions of dollars.

Not only did they not want to do any kind of wrap-up, but they took an episode that was supposed to air in the middle of the season — the fairytale episode — and marketed it as a series finale. Which was bulls–t. It was never supposed to be a series finale, much less a season finale, and I think it ended up getting judged kind of harshly because of it. If it was just a regular episode that people had tuned into I think they would’ve thought it was cool and funny.

To be fair, Bill, even if that episode had aired in the middle of the pack like it was supposed to, it still would have sucked eggs.
