The Scrubs Thread

I doubt there are many fans on the site, but it was a hell of a show.

It aired the final episode (hopefully) tonight, and it was a rather touching episode.

I don't know if its my old age or because I will go through something similar but it resonated with me. Just because it is your final day doesn't mean everyone makes a big hoopla about it. The day still goes on, and life will continue without you.

All in all season 8 redeemed the awful season 7, and is probably one of the top 3 seasons of the show.

Hm I never got past the 8th ep of the first season. I tried, but I really didn't enjoy it. And I wanted to, honestly.
I might give it a second chance some day.

I think that was the best final episode of any show I've ever seen. Twas bawling at the end. I miss them already. Had watched/rewatched the entire series this past year so everything was still very fresh in my head making it all the more touching. It was the one show at my first college my roommate and I would watch together and I would cut class to see it.

I never really got into Scrubs. I have a slight aversion to Zach Braff and I think that's part of the problem. Otherwise, the episodes I've seen have some good and funny moments, but it almost always lost me on the dramatic moments. I appreciated what they were trying to do, but I never thought it worked well all the time and was super distracting.

That's funny, I actually started watching it because of Zach Braff. I loved him in Garden State (which he directed, starred in, and picked the soundtrack for).

I didn't like the humor of Scrubs.

I've never seen Zach Braff in anything else, and in my mind he will always be JD so that doesn't matter.

I liked some of Scrubs more dramatic episodes, but yeah their humor was their strong suit.

I've only watched the first few seasons and the rest of my viewing has been off and on, but the humor has always seemed hit or miss. It's a very light viewing though, which has its pros and cons.

Love Scrubs.

Sadly stopped watching halfway through this season so I missed the final episodes

I have to say though, Scrubs can do dramatic heartfelt episodes really well

Oh hell no. That was a perfect series ending.

BreakABone · 11-16-2009, 06:23 PM

And its back in a few weeks. I'm kind of looking forward to it....

BlueFire · 11-22-2009, 02:00 PM

That's lame. I don't think I'm going to watch it. Should have ended..

Bube · 11-22-2009, 02:15 PM

WTF?! Just when I thought I was going to have a complete DVD collection, they keep adding more seasons!!!

My girlfriend and I are big fans of the show.

When we learned the show was coming back in a new capacity after it's near-perfect ending in season 8, we made a pact to pretend that it ended at season 8 and not watch any of the new episodes.

Scrubs has developed a problem of not knowing when to end things. In the past they knew how to leave things on the exact right note. But in season 8, at the end of each episode they would include "hilarious" bloopers during the credits, which straight up ruins any dramatic note they leave on every time. This new season is an extension of that problem.
