Again likewise.

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.

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.
