On November 5, 2007 the Writers Guild of America went on strike. This strike made it impossible for WGA members, including Scrubs creator Bill Lawrence, to write for television or film. As of November 5th, only eleven of Scrubs' eighteen episode seventh season had been completely written.[19] Lawrence refused to cross any WGA picket lines to serve any of his duties for the show, so ABC Studios had non-WGA members finish episode twelve, which prior to the strike Lawrence was pressured by ABC Studios to retool as a series finalé, which he refused to do.[19] and after the production of episode twelve the production of Scrubs will enter an indefinite hiatus along with nearly every television program written by Writers Guild of America members. This hiatus has hampered the possibility of a legitimate series finale episode.
Due to the possibility of no final episode of Scrubs being produced Bill Lawrence has assured The Scrubs Fan base that he will use all his leverage to end the show properly.[19] He has suggested various solutions including a straight-to-DVD release of the final episode[21] and asking NBC to extend Scrubs into the 2008-2009 television season[19] effectively creating an 8th season.
On November 19, 2007, NBC announced that The Office and Scrubs will be replaced by Celebrity Apprentice on January 3, 2008.[22]
