No, if you have a good reaosn why you don't like it then post, but no one line hate statements.

It's true and you know it

cmpunk · 13-11-2009 8:32pm

It was rubbish for at least 3 seasons, the last season redeemed it a little bit, but it's not Scrubs now, simple as that. This sentence is to make sure this post takes up more than one line.

You got a free TV? where?

Sir Gallagher · 13-11-2009 10:26pm

So with Braff gone, what way does the show work now, considering he was the narrator all along?

Dman001 · 13-11-2009 11:22pm

I like the way they changed the episode names from "My......" to "Our.....". I'll give it a go but wont expect much.

JP Liz · 13-11-2009 11:35pm

So who is missing from the new series just JD or more?

Dman001 · 13-11-2009 11:41pm

JD, Elliot and Dr. Kelso will be making guest appearances only. Turk and Dr. Cox are full time I think.

niallon · 14-11-2009 3:15am

Last I heard of the concept it was Cox and Turk working on the teaching side of things. If this is still how it's going to be I'm intrigued. It changes the formula enough that the regulars won't be missed and also, Cox really IS Scrubs IMO so I'm happy!

Sandwich · 14-11-2009 9:05am

It was a great great show in the early days. Been fading away and on life support for the last 3 seasons. Now Code blue. About to apply the last jolt to see if the heart restarts. Clear! Hope is slim, but you never know..................

Mossy Monk · 14-11-2009 9:42am

This will be like what The Tortellis was to Cheers.

Kiith · 14-11-2009 9:57am

Who knows, maybe it will be brilliant. I'm sure some people were skeptical about Fraiser after Cheer's finished. Season 8 of Scrubs was pretty good actually, and a definite improvement over the previous 3 seasons.

And i'm not actually comparing Fraiser to Scrubs there...

NOBODY CARES about stupid ass Scrubs, show should have ended 5 seasons back....stupid ass.

I hear Gossip Girl has just started, run along and watch it.

Dman001 · 21-11-2009 7:33pm

There are two videos of the nes season on Facebook:

Appears to be very Meh, but I'll give it a go. I see James Francos brother is in it too.

allinorfold · 22-11-2009 5:36am

RTE finished season 8 ages ago while the UK are only as far as the Janitors wedding which is pretty strange!!

When and where can we view season 9 does anyone know? I know 1st Dec is release date in US.

It looks like a sereal different show with the same cast, Sacred Heart was a huge part off the show almost a character in itself.

Staying:
Turk
Dr. Cox
J.D (Only first few)
Denise

Guest Appearances:
Elliot
The Janitor
Ted
Kelso
The Todd
Gooch (Ted's girlfriend)

Leaving:
Jordan
Karla
Doug
Lloyd

Thinks that everyone besides the smaller roles (Snoop Dog Attending, Dr. Beardface, ect; )

phasers · 28-11-2009 1:35am

Denise is staying? Ew!

token56 · 28-11-2009 11:36am

Lawerence wanted to have the name changed to Scrubs: The Interns, but was not let. It should really be thought of as a new show from scrubs as we knew it, or more like a spin off of it. Its no longer suppost to be about JD and his journey, but with the name not changing and this just considered the next season this point wont really be made, which is a pity. I'm not expecting it to be as good as the old scrubs, but I still think it will be enjoyable.

cmpunk · 28-11-2009 1:40pm

Why didint they give the Todd a bigger part make him get a gf and kids

H1tmonlii · 29-11-2009 12:10am

Dr. Cox: All that is man

What channel are the new episodes on? Comedy Central or RTE or what?

No news yet on that I think, would guess that RTE would pick it up as they have done since season 5, re-runs of Father Ted are not gonna improve there Monday nights

skeleton_boy · 29-11-2009 3:49am

Those previews look poor. Will still watch it no doubt as I was a big fan of the old scrubs.

Also Starring LeVar Burton · 02-12-2009 5:16am

Ok, just saw the first two episodes...

Not sure how I feel yet. Not great, but not awful either...
The absence of Neil Flynn is obvious, although his cameo was brilliant (probably the best scene of the two episodes). Ken Jenkins was also great in his scenes. I didn't miss Judy Reyes or Sarah Chalke whatsoever, so no loss there. Braff, Faison and McGinley were great as usual. Eliza Coupe was grand although I preferred her last season when she was still an intern herself. Robert Maschio was good as usual, so it'd be nice to see The Todd be kept on for a bit. Michael Mosley as Drew was good - I think his character has a lot of potential, as does Kerry Bishé as Lucy. Dave Franco as Cole however, I just wanted to punch in the face, which is a shame as his brother James Franco is a fantastic actor. I hope Nicky Whelan who plays Maya, the Aussie chick, gets kept on throughout the series because she's hot (and in case anyone was thinking they recognised her from somewhere she played Pepper in Neighbours a couple of years ago).

Honestly though, I think when Braff leaves the show will just crumble. As good as Faison and McGinley are, I don't think they can hold the show together without Braff, but time will tell...

Agree with pretty much all of this.

I think it's not different enough to the Scrubs we know and love to be thought of as a completely different show. And I don't think they can just start again like it's Scrubs Mark II. They were able to keep Scrubs going for 8 seasons because we knew the characters so well and had followed them all the way from their first day. Are we now expected to do the same with the new crop?

I'm sure it'll be grand. I'll watch it every week and it'll pass 20 minutes but I don't think I'll be dying to see it the second it airs.

Basq · 02-12-2009 11:20am

Spot on Captain!

As much as people found his character irritating in later seasons (how many times can one character fall over in one episode?!), Zach Braff's JD is the lynch-pin of the show.

iMax · 02-12-2009 11:37am

I stopped watching Scrubs sometime around the Michael J Fox episodes (not sure which season), but I just caught the start of season nine episode one...

when did JD & Elliot get together & is the baby his ?

Do I need to go get the box set ?

You're only 5 and a half seasons behind.

Michael J Fox's episode were mid-way through season 3.

iMax · 02-12-2009 12:02pm

WOW.... I missed some & then some...

So this whole med school thing, is it a new show ? Basically is it worth my while investing my time in it ?

samhail · 02-12-2009 12:04pm

of course !

its scrubs

In the first scene I thought "wow, it's James Franco", but then it zoomed in and I didn't know who he was. The character was a dick from then on though. I didn't know James had a brother.

I thought it wasn't terrible, in fact maybe a little better the last few seasons. I'll give it another few episodes to see if any of the new characters grow on me.

JD will probably disappear when Elliot has the baby... 7 months along, so another 8 weeks? Didn't I read somewhere Braff will be in it for 7 episodes? That'd coincide.

It makes his grand farewell last season totally pointless now, eh?

Mossy Monk · 02-12-2009 7:10pm

Full body wax 5

I too am undecided. I like it but wont be surprised to see it flop.

Richard Dower · 02-12-2009 7:47pm

It's done poor in the ratings, average at best....tis only on 'cause they need more eps. for syndication.....why can't they put this dog down for good?

That can't be true... US shows go into syndication after 100 episodes... Scrubs has been on for 9 years and has had way more than 100 eps...

Richard Dower · 02-12-2009 8:03pm

The best thing Braff has done was to get Rachel Bilson to do a sex scene!, the in DVD commentary she laughed his his um, acting skillz.

Basq · 02-12-2009 8:06pm

You've clearly never seen Braff's directorial debut Garden State Richard? An excellent film!

I did, and enjoyed it...The Last Word wasn't that bad either, i rented it for Bilson tbh.

Soby · 02-12-2009 11:55pm

Female JD is hot:P

Basq · 03-12-2009 12:52am

All these new characters remind me of other characters and actors.

Female JD is hot.. but she looks like Heather Graham mixed with Madeline Zima. Dale is a mixture of Keith and also Garrity from Rescue Me. The Aussie chick I was sure was the Aussie chick from the first Transformers.. but alas no!

Thought Franco's brother was the perfect mix of obnoxious and arsehole.. the scene with "lactose intoli" gave me a giggle.

Overall.. not hugely impressed!

Too many recycled jokes ("EAAAGLE!", "Guy Love" *)

* loved the original version.. but bringing it back just reeked of desperation!

J-blk · 03-12-2009 8:54am

It didn't totally suck as I thought it would but that's not saying much. The comments that it is not different enough are spot on - once Braff's guest stint is over, it will crumble very fast if it does not start focusing more on the new characters (and he only has 4-5 episodes left now, right?).

And most annoyingly, it does negate the ending of season 8 pretty much - I wish they had not brought Braff back at all for this season.

Interesting to see the "Med School" sub-title, but it barely registers on screen during the credits - again, I could accept things a bit more if this was billed as a direct spin-off but ABC is clearly looking at it as season 9 of "classic" Scrubs (everywhere even lists it that way).

If the ratings are weak as Richard mentioned earlier, I really don't see it sticking around long - ABC has had pretty good success with comedies this year with Modern Family, The Middle and - shockingly - Cougar Town, so do they really need to hang on to an ailing comedy that much?

Kiith · 03-12-2009 9:19am

I dont know if i want to watch it. I loved the way they ended season 8, and i think i'd almost rather leave it on that high note. I probably will end up watching it at some stage, but we'll see.

Wow somebody got their little heart broken! And now acts like an obssessive girl over what was and what could've been!

/really I'm talking about myself

I miss Scrubs

Feeky Magee · 04-12-2009 1:45am

I'm seemingly in the minority here, but I thought it was very, very good. Cox was on fire, and I enjoyed Kelso's couple of cameos. There was a lot of chuckle moments, and a couple of laugh-out-loud moments. I enjoyed those two episodes more than the entire seasons 6 + 7.

Plus, anything with Nicky Whelan in it gets my approval:

Dman001 · 04-12-2009 3:08pm

I like the new opening and theme tune, but I don't understand why Zach Braff is in the opening if he is leaving after a few episodes.

It has potential because of Turk and Dr. Cox, but if they weren't in it, I dont think it would last.
Also, I loved the the Janitors small appearance.
