(Update: Bill Lawrence himself responds to my plea in the comments.)Oy, not again.
First we heard, straight from Bill Lawrence's mouth, that
Scrubs could get a ninth season. Then we heard
it was definitely done at the end of this current eighth season. Now,
The Hollywood Reporter is hearing that
talks to renew the show are back on, with Lawrence and company trying to figure out how to bring back most of the cast, at least in a recurring fashion.
They have to be recurring, since
Zach Braff has vowed that he's done with the show, and Neil Flynn, John C. McGinley, and Donald Faison are all attached to new pilots, with
Scrubs being a second option in case they're not picked up. Heck, even Lawrence is busy on the new Courteney Cox show
Cougar Town.
I'm here, as one of the show's biggest fans, to beg ABC and Lawrence to let the show die. Please. It's the best thing they can do for it.

I finally got a chance to speak with
Scrubs creator Bill Lawrence yesterday, and, as you'd expect, he had plenty to say about departing NBC. In addition to the circumstances behind the show's move from NBC to ABC, Lawrence also talked about NBC's treatment of the show and why he thinks it stuck around for so long, despite that treatment.
But he also dropped a bit of a bomb: next season may not be the show's final season. And if there is ninth season of
Scrubs, it likely will continue without him or Zach Braff on board.
More after the jump.

Every time he thinks he's out, they pull him back in again! No, just kidding. It's not like that. This isn't Michael in
Godfather 3. Nobody's forcing anyone.
However, it is true that
William Petersen is returning to CBS's CSI for the ninth season. This is great news for fans of the show -- and the star -- because for years now he's been yelping about leaving the hit series to do other things. Last year, for example, he was written off the show for a brief hiatus in which
Liev Schreiber was cast as a temporary replacement for Gil Grissom in the Las Vegas crime lab.
