Media Credit: scrubswavshome.tripod.com Scrubs last and final season, is it going to answer all our unanswered questions?

Here we've got a narcissistic, God-Denying, male chauvinistic doctor and it isn't House. We've also got a beautiful, love-clumsy, pragmatic doctor, but this isn't Grey's Anatomy either. Here, we are talking about Scrubs.

Leading off in 2001 for its first season, the show opened to some mixed reviews. Questions were posed such as "Zach who?" or "Do we really need another medical show?"

Six years strong now, Scrubs has held a top spot in NBC's line up of primetime hits. Zach Braff plays the main character, the loveable yet odd John Dorian, better known to his colleagues as J.D.

Elliot Reid, the love-clumsy doctor, is played by Sarah Chalke.

Dr. Perry Cox, John C. McGinley, is described as "House without the limp."

Last but not least, the fan favorite, The Janitor, J.D's antagonist.

In its seventh and final season, many unanswered questions are held in the balance. Will Elliot get married? What will happen when Kim has J.D's baby? What is the janitor's real name?

In a few simple words: "expect the unexpected."

In an interview with Braff and Bill Lawrence, the show's creator, it was stated that you can look forward to the same intertwining or arcs, or storylines.

They promised that the focus would not be completely on J.D and Elliot's relationship because unlike the other primetimes shows "the show is more about all of the relationships."

Turk, J.D.'s best friend, and Carla, the head nurse (and also Turk's wife), appear to have rekindled a nearly failing marriage.

Dr. Cox, the resident mentor and his wife Jordan are happily divorced and live together with their two children.

The Janitor and J.D remain friends, and if by friends you mean enemies.

Promised in this seventh season was a janitor oriented episode where he plays a giant. Supporting cast members will still be included.

Todd is in line to be, in Lawrence's words "the fairy Todd- Something," which inclines one to believe that Todd might lose his "love all" orientation.

The show is said to be ending when the Janitors name is finally revealed, which in past episodes has been hinted to be something of Asian decent.

May we look to see long time Chief of Medicine retired and leave the hospital to the, "love to hate him" Dr. Cox?

Does Elliot really want to marry Keith, as she left the sixth season laying in bed with J.D, inches from each other's face in the on call room contemplating their obvious affection for each other?

Does the Janitor and Dorian call it a truce?

Will Ted become less, or if possible, more pathetic? Maybe his quartet will turn into a blazing rock band and he can afford a nice hair piece.

Who knows?

Some of our questions were answered in the season premiere's episode on Oct. 25.

JD and Elliot didn't kiss, and Elliot didn't marry Keith. Keith is actually moving out of Elliot's house. Dr. Cox and Dr. Kelso (the Chief) still go head to head on patient treatment and hospital policy.

The janitor has a girlfriend, ambiguously named "Lady." Carla convinced Elliot to not worry about Keith and just to give him time. The secondary characters are still holding the plot together during all of this.

And in their strongest issue of morality in the entire show, Turk convinced J.D to stay with the mother of his child even if he didn't have strong feelings for her.

You can catch the older episodes of Scrubs; season one through six on DVD, iTunes, or any of your favorite online media website. And look for season seven, airing Thursdays in the 9pm slot on NBC.
