Is Scrubs New Tonight? The ABC Revival's Air Time, Channel and Next New Episode
Quick answer: Scrubs airs Wednesdays at 8 p.m. ET on ABC, and the next new episode is on Wednesday, Oct. 28: Season 2, Episode 6, "My Halloween." The last new episode, "My Best Friend's Birthday" (Season 2, Episode 5), aired on Wednesday, Oct. 21. ABC's schedule release lists the Oct. 28 slot as 8:00-8:30 p.m. EDT, and The Futon Critic's listing matches it; we checked both at 12:25 a.m. ET on Oct. 25.
Is Scrubs new tonight?
On Wednesdays in the weeks listed in the table below, yes. Season 2 of the ABC revival began on Wednesday, Sept. 30, with a two-episode night: "My First Time in a While" at 8:00 and "My Mentee" at 8:31 p.m. ET. Since then there has been one new half hour every Wednesday at 8:00, and The Futon Critic names an episode for every Wednesday through Nov. 11.
ABC describes "My Halloween" as J.D. helping a former colleague with a difficult patient, Elliot looking for support for her new clinic, and Turk dealing with his family's growing pains. The Nov. 4 episode, "My Story," is billed as J.D. and Elliot reconnecting during a hard conversation about parenting while the interns wrestle with work-life balance.
When is the next new episode of Scrubs?
"My Halloween" on Oct. 28 is next, then "My Story" on Nov. 4, and ABC's weekly schedule releases confirm both. The Futon Critic's listing also names "My Emergency" (Episode 8) for Wednesday, Nov. 11, but ABC's releases only run through the week of Nov. 2 so far, so that one reads as listed rather than confirmed. The same listing has no Scrubs entry for Wednesday, Nov. 18, a repeat on Nov. 25, and held 8:00 p.m. slots on Dec. 2 and 9 with the episode still marked TBA.

Why isn't Scrubs on Wednesday, Nov. 18?
When we read The Futon Critic's ABC listing for the show, it had an entry for Nov. 11 and a repeat slot on Nov. 25 but nothing for Nov. 18. We haven't found a published reason, and ABC hasn't released its schedule that far out, so treat Nov. 18 as "no new episode listed" until ABC says more. Local ABC stations can also move a network show for regional sports or breaking news, so check your station if the hour looks wrong.
What time and channel is Scrubs on?
ABC, Wednesdays at 8:00 p.m. Eastern, and it runs a half hour. One detail only the primary releases show: ABC prints the Oct. 28 slot in EDT and the Nov. 4 slot in EST, because clocks go back on Sunday, Nov. 1; the slot itself stays at 8 p.m. on the clock.

ABC's schedule releases print Eastern time only, which is why the table sends Central and Pacific viewers to local listings. Abbott Elementary follows Scrubs on the same night: see the Abbott Elementary page. Every ABC show we track is on the ABC page, and NBC's Chicago Med, Fire and P.D. run against it on Wednesdays. For ABC's Thursday shows, see 9-1-1 and Grey's Anatomy; the full list of answers is on the new-tonight index.
