Scrubs
 

It is the best show on television. Everything about it rules.

Do you agree? Of course you do

Easily the best show out there, I just don't know why NBC doesn't give it the credit it deserves.

yeah my favorite show. I have been watching it for like two years. I don't know why it is not as popular as shows like The OC and WifeSwap.

I just started watching this show a few months ago. I gotta say... I fuckin love it. I started watching the entire series a couple of weeks ago and I'm now on season 4.

:love: Dr. Elliot Reid :love:

I wish all doctors looked like Sarah Chalke.

Anyways, I believe it has run its course now.

Sarah Chalke is hottttt.. It was good.. I was much more into it in the first season and some of the later episodes were alittle too sappy for me.. I mean it was a goofy ass show with the crazy fantasy world that JD creates but then it would turn into some touching story about breast cancer or some shit..

I dunno, it was good, but the first season was by far the best..

I'll always watch it in syndication..

Damn, Juan, nice search engine skills.

The show had 5 fantastic seasons before it began to tail off. Starting with the Elizabeth Banks baby story, it started to go downhill.

I love Scrubs, the final episode was a big piece of shit though, but I could see the irony of it.

also, Dr. Molly Clock :love:

You know it got picked up for one last season, right?

The fairy tale episode was the series finale on NBC, but it's been moved to ABC now for one last hurrah.

Now if ABC would just start it...

*sig*

No I did not know that :love:

and as for the fairy tale episode it really wasn't the finale. It was produced as an earlier episode. However NBC didn't want to end the season with a Cliff Hanger type thing, so they put on what I think is one of the worst episodes of the series to close the season. Basically just playing the episodes out of order.

So what was ment to be the final episode of the season then?

yea the girls are hot in it but clearly Dr Cox MADE this entire show

Kelso quitting I think.

"If it's a boy can you name him Pickle?"

"Why Pickle?"

"Because then I can call him Little Gerkin. I need this."

"I'll think about it."

lol

For some reason, I think them revealing that the Janitor is like the mastermind or the owner of the hospital would be hilarious.

I seriously see something like Cox taking over as Chief of Medicine. That's really the only thing I feel sure about. Dunno why though.

I think Courtney Cox is gonna be the new COM

I'm wrapping up Season 6. God damn I love this show.

<--- has all six seasons on DVD.

pwned

Not as good as it used to be. Think I saw every episode for the first 5 seasons, and I've been a bit sporadic since then. It went down on my list of televisual priorities.

I understand Bill Lawrence has committed to making the new season return to its roots a bit more and focus on good stories and saving the kooky fantasy element for JD's imagination only, rather than having it spill over into "real life" as it were. Sounds good to me.

The pilot is probably one of the best I have ever seen/read. It's just brilliant.

I'm glad that Lawrence is going back to that kind of "style." Things were getting too out-there in the last couple of seasons.

I just started watching last year and it's definitely in a class of its own. It's one of the only live action shows that is essentially a cartoon in how random it is. Like JD's daydreams are unmatched in anything not animated.

dunno how many of you have seen this but it's A Charlie Brown Christmas dubbed over by the cast of Scrubs

Scrubs is the best show on television. The only other comedies I've even nearly enjoyed as much are Arrested Development and The Simpsons when it was in its prime. The cast is uniformly fantastic, the writing top-notch (I think seasons six was actually really good, and although season seven was messy, some of the stories such as the Kelso arc were beautiful).

If you haven't gotten into this show yet, just buy the first two seasons on DVD. If you are not hooked, you deserve to lose the money you spent on the DVDs, anyway.

My only complaint about Scrubs is that it may be ending. And that Judy Reyes hasn't shown much skin over the series, and Sarah Chalke hasn't shown more. They are insatiable requests, though.

it's so funy
 

I got Scrubs Seasons 1-7 ,i just can't stop laugh

Thanks for the new desktop background :y:

For the record, I think the new season starts early January on ABC now.

lol

Isn't it without JD and Carla though?

I think that this one will be their last.

Both are done after that, but the creators say they will possibly carry on without them.

Also, that picture of Sarah Chalke is AMAZING!

Just now getting into this show. A little late yeah I know.

Whoa what? Getting rid of JD and Carla and continuing with the show would just be terrible -- the execs ruining the legacy of a good show for more money.

Didn't That 70's Show do something similar, where Kelso (Ashton Kutcher) and the main character (Eric, I think?) left, but the others still hung out in his basement and stuff? BAH!

I believe so. I've never seen seasons 6 and 7 of That 70's Show but Eric goes to "Africa" and I don't know where Kelso goes.

JD and Carla leaving, i seem to be having flashbacks of a local-TV Series which was called "Two Pints of Lager, and a packet of crisps". They made up ridiculous storylines for some of the main characters to leave, just so the show could continue on for a while longer.

Scrubs is terribly unfunny.

:eek: gtfo

You have it confused with Arrested Development.

You just made enemies with the internet.

God, that show jumped the shark when Ralph Little left...maybe a little bit before.

I can understand why people would be terrified of an idea like this, but I can actually see Scrubs being able to pull it off.

Firstly, one thing Scrubs has always been good with, is mixing in dramatic elements to their stories, having arcs, and explaining why things happen. If JD and Carla leave, you better believe they will be impactful episodes that will also set up how the show goes on without them. It won't just be a "one day they're there, the next they're gone" thing.

JD is actually the most replaceable of the cast, I think. Zach Braff is very talented, and yes, the main character, but the main purpose he has served is that of a center for the plots to rotate around. He's always been the goofy dork, but in more recent seasons, it's become more apparent, and his character is taking more specific turns (getting a disease, having a kid, etc.). If you have another goofy dork come in, and do it just as well as Braff, and have a good connection with the cast, it could actually be refreshing for the show.

Carla is harder to get rid of, because the rest of the cast has always been more stoic in their roles than the role Braff plays. You'd need to have her get divorced from Turk, or die during the birth of their second kid, or something. Very dramatic stuff, but it sets up a huge storyline for Turk to deal with in Season 9 of the show. If Zach Braff and Judy Reyes both leave, then it means Turk will be a single father on the show, which is the current shtick JD has going on. Judy Reyes and Braff are mainly moving away due to time constraints and money issues -- there's no falling out with Bill Lawrence, or anything. They could make some guest appearances, or something.

Sarah Chalke has said she will keep going on with the show, so that is a plus. And if they keep John C. McGinley, they are alright (I honestly believe that Dr. Cox is the only irreplaceable character on the show). If Donald Faison, Neil Flynn and Ken Jenkins all hang it out, I think the season would actually be really interesting.

Keep the show going for ten seasons, and re-evaluate it then. See if the new kid is doing well as the lead, and if the new hot nurse they've hired has been accepted into the Scrubs universe. If it goes well, then maybe they could keep going. By then I think the rest of the cast will be ready to move on, anyway.

Scrubs and Arrested Development are both fantastic. I'm actually hoping that long-rumoured (by both Zach Braff and Bill Lawrence) David Cross "cross-over" takes place, and we get Dr. Tobias Funke -- analrapist on Scrubs. Especially seeing as the AD movie is now confirmed to be getting into gear. There's some promotion for ya.

Noid, you are just wrong. Without JD, Scrubs will not succeed. He is the focal point of the show. He's the mother fucking NARRATOR of the show for christ's sake. To bring in anyone else would just be stupid. Zach Braff makes that show work - anyone else would just be copying him or making the show less than what it is. JD is "Scrubs." Without him, it's nothing. Yes, you have lots of great talented actors, but at this point in the show's run, taking away the main character who you have built up so much would be pressing the self destruct button. That 70's Show's later seasons is proof of that.

Yeah, the "His Story/Her Story's are always refreshing from JD, but what makes them refreshing is that they are someone totally new. I wouldn't want someone to come in and be another dork...might as well hire a new Darren.

Noid, you do make some points, but I have to side with Fox here. I think you are right in that JD isn't as fun as he used to be, but he is the main character and he does dictate the mood of the whole show. I don't think it's that Zach Braff has run its part, I think it's just that the show might have. When you watch the new episodes, it's just too obvious that JD and Turk are older guys now, and it just doesn't work.

Getting rid of Carla would ruin the show even more. Beyond the obvious storylines (does she just leave Turk randomly?), her attitude is such an important element in the show. There has always been something comforting in Carla and Doctor Cox. I think some of the best episodes in the series were when Cox lost his edge and almost quit, because suddenly there was nothing to fall back on anymore.

I really think the only main character that the show could replace is Elliot, but even that would be hard. Scrubs is a great show, but shows only have so long of a shelf life, and I hope they don't tarnish this by going too long.

It would be like Saved By the Bell: The New Class?

That 70s Show died when Kelso and Eric left. Scrubs will be the same when JD and Carla leave. Very possible they could exist without Carla by just using her name in the show but never putting her on camera but there is absolutely no way it can go on with JD.

I probably won't even watch Scrubs if they carry on with them. I'll chose to ignore it ever happened incase it sucks and ruins my memory of the show.

I wonder if they'd consider a spin off from Scrubs, rather than continuing, revolving around Dr. Cox?

They pretty much have that now. It's called House.

Exactly.

Exactly.

I'll still watch it. No big deal.

Is it Jan 6th yet?

I'm no Superman

Starts tomorrow :D!

Hello Outsider. You have heard of the Internet yes?

Using that tool, I will be watching this tomorrow morning.

I understand what you are saying, but That 70's Show is horrible proof of that. That show was your traditional sitcom. Scrubs is a bit more sweeping, and ambitious as far as plotting goes. Also, as you said, they lost Kelso and Eric. They were pretty much the JD and Dr. Cox of that show. If Scrubs lost both JD and Dr. Cox, then it'd be rough to continue.

I'd at least give Scrubs a chance without the Braffster. The JD character is primarily eyes and ears into hospital life. Yeah, the character has its quirks and stuff, but that is more and more becoming integraded into the very attitude of the show. He is awesome, and part of the reason the show is a big success, but I think the supporting cast -- as the players JD reacts to and the players that react to the current narrator of the story -- are actually far more important than the JD character. They are Sacred Heart. JD is a person walking into Sacred Heart.

Hell, and given how much Zach Braff owes to the show, and how much fun he apparently had making it, I wouldn't put it past him to make two or three appearances a season, like a lot of the other recurring players.

And I cannot wait for Season 8 to start. Definitinely going to get some illegal downloads for this one. Don't worry, I'll buy the DVD and watch it when it comes on Aussie TV, too. Well, I'll start to watch it on TV, but Channel 7 will fuck around with timeslots every week, and then the DVD will come out, and I'll be like "fuck it."

On the DVD box for last season, the description on the back only says "Turk, Elliot and Carla get into all sorts of mischief again.." so take that for what it is.

I liked the first2 episodes, not bad.

I hate the Interns though, and get the feeling they are going to slowly build them into the new main characters....Which is going to ruin my life because they are so lame and poochy like. Its like they are trying to hard too make them funny....and they fail.

Elliott's new boyfriend, that Keith character, was merely a way for the creators of the show to find out if they could get rid of JD and replace him with another funny male character. There is, in fact, an entire episode that revolves around him and the other characters while JD literally stays in the background the entire episode.

It didn't work. It won't work. JD is the nucleus of the show, and when you remove the nucleus, well, it's just science.

They do that with every side character though. I haven't seen that episode, but until then, don't most Keith gags last like a second and usually involve him being Elliot's bitch? Even his last name, Dudemeister, was obviously written as a gag. I don't really think they ever really intended for this guy to anchor the show as the JD character. They will probably just make the show about Turk dealing with his divorce/the death of Carla or something.

I thought the two new episodes were good, the second especially

George :(

Word :(

George :(

A lot of shows have continued to be great successes after the departure/death of a main character. Hell, hasn't ER lost most of its original main cast by now?

If we're talking comedy shows, Cheers survived fine without Coach and Diane. Only Fools and Horses survived and got even better after the death of Grandad. It all depends on the quality of the show. Talented writers will bring closure to the characters, introduce replacements in a natural way, and carry on doing what they do. Then, it comes down to the quality of the scripts.

If a JD/Carla-less season has better scripts than the last season, is funnier, then the show will still be enjoyable. If you ONLY watch Scrubs for JD or Carla, you're not getting the bigger picture.

Grandad isn't a comparison it would have to have been Del Boy or Rodney that left. If your talking the main character then its time for the show to die, its got progressivly worse over the years anyway.

Most of the focal points of the show are pretty JD-centric. JD's relationship arc with Cox, JD and Turk, JD and his relationship arc with Elliot, JD and the janitor. Obviously that is because he was the narrator, but still. If you bring in somebody new at this point, you only have a few residual things left that were mostly just side stories. I think Scrubs could do fine without Carla, or anyone else, but JD would be like Jerry Seinfeld not wanting to be in Seinfeld and them having them call the show Costanza.

Yeah, to be honest, I don't dislike Carla, but she kind of annoys me.

Scrubs without JD, Turk, or Cox would be hard to enjoy, I think. But I could be wrong.

Watched the new episodes last night and I liked it :y:

I resent that. Grandad was pivotal to the dynamic of the show. Luckily they managed to seamlessly insert Uncle Albert into the same spot, and it worked. Note the most recent episodes without the 'older generation family member' role... didn't work.

If they could insert a new character into the JD role, different enough to keep the show fresh, similar enough not to upset the whole balance of the programme, then it can remain relevant.

One misstep in the casting/character development department and the show is fucked.

As a fan of both shows, I've got to say that's pretty much the most ridiculous comment ever.

The only similarity is that they have misanthropic personality traits - even then how it manifests in House and Cox is entirely different.

Sorry

I went back and started watching this series over yesterday, since I had forgotten stuff from the first few seasons...and I remember this, and found it hilarious. :D

^ ROFL

Likewise, my friend. Likewise.

Again likewise.

These are pretty much my sentiments. JD is not even a main character in the traditional sense. Scrubs has always been a bit more quirky than that. He was a new set of eyes and ears into the hospital, and he provides a likable voice to narrate the troubles of other people in the hospital, and relate it to his life.

"It's a teaching hospital, son." There is no reason another equally well-written character played by another equally talented actor could not completely fucking own the current role JD plays to the story.

I like the look of the new interns, by the way. They actually seem to have personalities this time. One of them was on Flight of the Conchords, I think.

Ed is gone.

Thank God. Ed IS GONE.

I really wanna know what the deal is with the lack of Turk!

It's a black thing. :shifty:

No, I don't want no scruuubs.

They should clone Turk. Get two Turks on the show.

'Scrubs' shocker: School's in, hospital's out!

Scrubs boss Bill Lawrence said his cancellation-defying comedy would undergo an extreme makeover in its ninth season, and, man, he wasn't kidding. When the show returns next winter, the action will shift from the hospital to the classroom and make med-school professors of John C. McGinley's Dr. Cox and Donald Faison's Turk.

"It'll be a lot like Paper Chase as a comedy," Lawrence tells me. "It's going to be a different show. It'll still be life-and-death stakes, but if the show is just Scrubs again in the hospital with a different person's voiceover, it would be a disaster and people would be mad."

Of course, Sacred Heart won't go away altogether. Although J.D.'s old stomping ground no longer will serve as the show's base of operations, the students will occasionally rotate through its halls -- and bump into many of its familiar faces. In addition to McGinley and Faison, both of whom are expected to be full-time regulars alongside a quartet of newbies (most of them playing students), Scrubs vets Zach Braff, Sarah Chalke, Judy Reyes and Ken Jenkins have agreed to make guest appearances. (Neil Flynn has a costarring role as Patricia Heaton's husband in the new ABC sitcom The Middle, so his name-challenged Janitor will be MIA.)

"Med students in their first three years have to spend anywhere from 10 to 50 percent of their time at a hospital," Lawrence explains.
"And that's when you'll see some of the [original cast members]. Continuity-wise, Sacred Heart will still exist with those people still working there."

But Lawrence insists "half the cast, if not 60 percent of it," will be comprised of freshmen, one of which will be more recognizable than the rest. "[ABC] is really after us to hire a big name," he reveals. "So one of them will be fairly famous."
Thoughts on Scrubs 2.0? Share 'em below!

What? No Janitor? Lame.

dunno why they don't change it up a bit and turn it into a spin off without trying to incur the wrath of everyone. it worked well for frasier and the scrubs cast is like cheers in that the characters all seemingly have enough depth to be interesting on their own, unlike say friends.

NOOOO!!

JANITOR!!

NOOO!!

I kind of like that idea

Still no word on when the new 2.0 is coming. All ABC says is "new episodes coming soon."
