The star of the NBC comedy Scrubs has complained that network executives treated him and the cast disrespectfully when they delayed the start of the fifth season, then refused to tell them when -- or even whether -- their new shows would air. "We all felt very dissed," Zach Braff told the New York Daily News. At the time, NBC Entertainment chief Kevin Reilly said that the delay was made necessary because Braff was shooting a movie, Fast Track. But Braff told the Daily News that the movie production overlapped the Scrubs shooting schedule by only one week, not enough to justify the long delay. The series is due to return to the air next Tuesday at 9:00 with twelve episodes already filmed. Braff said that not knowing whether the shows would ever air affected the performances -- but in a positive way. "There was an attitude of, 'If we're not going to be on the air, let's take this a little bit further, let's lean into the turns,'" Braff said. "So as actors, I think we were a little bit extra wacky and silly and I think the scripts were a little more surreal and crazy."
