benchwarmer Posted May 24, 2009 Share Posted May 24, 2009 From Zach Braffs facebook blog. The last season wasn't the best, but still better than most other things on TV. I'm interested to see what it's like. To clear up the confusion: Scrubs will be coming back, but in a new incarnation. Scrubs as we've all known it is over. That chapter is closed. But as there are so many fans of the characters and writing of the show worldwide, the powers that be have decided to try and keep them alive a little longer (in the spirit of "Frasier" being a new chapter of "Cheers".) I will be in the first 6 episodes of this new incarnation to help transition the show into what it will become. And then I will be off to work on some new projects that I'm very excited about/ write my new movie/continue to learn how to fly airplanes. ) As to what the new show is? That's only clear in the mind of Bill Lawrence at this time. I know many of you will have very strong opinions on this topic. And I respect them all. But first and foremost, if any of you were in a position to put about 200 people whom you really loved back to work in this economy, you would do it in a second. That has always been in the back of Bill's and my mind; we just didn't imagine ABC would ever give us the opportunity to keep it going. If anyone can find an interesting new shape for the show it's Bill. Don't hate it until you see what he comes up with. Once its up and going there will be plenty of time for you to decide whether you love it or hate it. Hope this clarifies a few things. That's all the info there is on that right now... I hope this finds you smiling, love, zb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamlikesmusic Posted May 24, 2009 Share Posted May 24, 2009 Never was too big a fan of Scrubs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
circlingvultures Posted May 24, 2009 Share Posted May 24, 2009 I never watch scrubs on ABC but i always watch the reruns on comedy central. I love the show. My only complaint is that JD just gets gayer and gayer every season and that before Cox opens his mouth you already know what he's going to say, but ted, the "turkeltons"haha, and the janitor make this show amazing.

AlexH. Posted May 24, 2009 Share Posted May 24, 2009 Zach Braff has always been my least favorite part of Scrubs. I just want to punch the guy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cadetapplesauce Posted May 24, 2009 Share Posted May 24, 2009 i hate how in EVERY episode, there's some montage with sad music playing, showing everyone being all reflective... "i learned today that blah blah blah blah blah" because of that, and how it's sorta slapsticky in humor, i never really got into scrubs.

troymess Posted May 24, 2009 Share Posted May 24, 2009 I love Scrubs...as well as the formula and the characters. I'm at least optimistic about the new show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snaggle Von Swift Posted May 24, 2009 Share Posted May 24, 2009 I haven't watched any of the ABC episodes yet, I need to get on that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nefariousfig Posted May 24, 2009 Share Posted May 24, 2009 I really liked seasons 1-4 of Scrubs, but I felt that the show really lost its way during the 5th season and I stopped watching it during the 6th. I had heard elsewhere that season 8 was somewhat of a return to form, but the sentiment here seems to suggest otherwise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
listenwell Posted May 25, 2009 Share Posted May 25, 2009 i thought the abc season worked well. i had faded as a fan because the show just got more and more ridiculous, almost a live action family guy with all the cut scenes and absurdity. the last season was less formulaic, and there were a few episodes that were even touching (without just relying on some sappy singer-songwriter song over a montage). there was one episode that was almost entirely turk and jd sitting in a room talking to a guy who was going to die about death. i too have tired of braff for the most part, but i'm at least curious about the new direction.

whateverrrr Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 i LOVED the first two seasons of Scrubs. Then it got hard to watch. I get why people like it, I guess, it's just not my thing. I felt like it went from awesome to terrible in no time at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
