So there's hope the show will be re-released in HD format. Although you can't tell if it'll only be on TV or on Blu as well...

That's strange. That's completely opposite of what I've heard about the show.

Same here.

All I've ever heard is that Bill Lawrence likes the show 4:3 and would never go widescreen or HD. I've also heard it was never framed for 16:9.

I think ABC pretty much forced Lawrence to go HD for the new season, otherwise it would have stayed 4:3 SD.

Weird. I have the first 5 on DVD so far (since that's how they aired), but for the HD 8th season I will wait for BD.

If you read the quote precisely it actually said John Inwood who is the cinematographer on Scrubs. So there is a chance.

Ok now I'm completely confused. After last nights episodes, the same old intro was used...in HD. I don't get it.
