You Ask, I Answer: 'The Office,' 'How I Met Your Mother' & 'Scrubs'

Today: "HIMYM," "Scrubs" and "The Office." Where is Michael Scott going and who's following him? And is one of Ted Mosby's former girlfriends coming back to the show? My answers below, yo.

So, what's the deal with this new chick that's supposedly being hired as the Dunder-Mifflin receptionist? -JJ
If you read my February 20th post in which I told you Michael would be walking out on D-M and taking a pretty major employee with him, the new receptionist they're hiring makes complete sense. Yeah. I said it. See ya, Beasley.

I hope it's Pam that follows Michael out. It'd make more "entertainment/drama" sense than Dwight following him, since those two could theoretically have their own separate show. -CPP
Well, I think you may just get your wish, guy. I mean, they won't have their own separate show, but they will have their own separate paper company. One that has little chance of survival of course. But that doesn't mean the duo isn't really going for it. Charles Miner (Idris Elba) will be spending a lot of time in Scranton.

Any news on who the mother is on "HIMYM"? -Katie
Nah. But I am hearing that we will see one of Ted's former girlfriends return before the season ends. Victoria? Stella? The Massengill heiress? I ain't sayin.

Korbs, I love the idea of "Scrubs" returning for a ninth season, but without Zach, Donald Faison and John C. McGinley, it's just doomed. -Jen
Just because Donald and Dr. Cox have signed on to star in pilots doesn't mean they wouldn't be back for a ninth season. Donald himself told me just two weeks ago that he's definitely down. And Zach would have to return for roughly one third of the episodes for it to get a pick up. So, yeah, sound good to you?
