Scrubs - Season 9 (US) [Spoilers]

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

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.

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?

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.

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.

Deedsie · 04-12-2009 3:13pm

I didnt hate it. There is potential there. I rathered the old theme tune. Janitors ending was kinda cool if not brief. I am gonna stay watchin. I loved this show from the very beginning. Not giving up on it.

That cole guy seems to be a total douche though. Get him out or develop his character quick.

hobochris · 04-12-2009 3:22pm

I think Cox Carried It. I agree that they need to get the focus off of JD but they need to strengthen the other characters first,I felt the rest were about par with the interns of last season.

backspacer · 06-12-2009 4:30pm

I just sat and watched the first two episodes of season 9 now, have to say i quite enjoyed it,some very funny moments. Have to say Cox is a lot scarier now than in previous seasons, his rants are something else:D

I'd be interested to see how it carries though when Braff leaves for go,there's definitely potential with some of the new interns but i guess it depends on how well the character development is worked by the writers. But am holding out some hope for this show yet.

Dman001 · 06-12-2009 4:40pm

I thought the last scene of the second episode was hilarious, with JD and Turk singing.

H1tmonlii · 06-12-2009 11:05pm

Where can I watch the episodes? Where did you guys watch them?

Jazzy · 07-12-2009 10:33am

let it die

I downloaded them. Rules say we cannot tell you where but Google will help you.

Conor108 · 07-12-2009 4:07pm

That....wasn't half bad...

Might watch a few more, see how it goes

H1tmonlii · 07-12-2009 6:35pm

Downloaded the first episode. The end scene made me smile because it felt like a real Scrubs moment.
The lack of Sarah Chalke, The Janitor and the Todd and disappearance of Ted and Carla was awful. The new building makes the show feel new but the new intro sucks!

PullMyFinger! · 09-12-2009 6:04am

Watchable. Funny. But surely superfluous?

Scrubs peaked in seasons 1 to 4 and bounced back in season 8. But 9 will fall to sh!te when JD leaves tbh.
