Let me preface this post by saying I’m a huge Scrubs fan and I’d be happy if the show ran forever. Long time readers will remember I used to run a Saturday Scrubs Fix post while the show was on one of its many hiatus.
That aside, this new season is being set up to be a great and deserving swan song for the underrated sitcom. Resuscitated by ABC, Scrubs has returned with four belly laugh inducing eps this month clearly designed to lay the show to rest. Sure, there’s a new group of young docs running around, but the writers quickly made a point to show viewers that this ain’t Scrubs: TNG. Instead, they’ve used the fresh faces as plot devices to reveal the growth the core characters have experienced lately. In addition, there have been some moments that fans have waited for such as Dr. Kelso and Dr. Cox sharing a few moments of mutual admiration. We’ve also seen JD and Eliot work towards a real relationship while acknowledging their weighty past. It hasn’t been all drama though thanks to classic Scrubs moments such as the overly touch orderly or the drug test patient for head injuries who just shouts, “35!” It has all had the feel of a carefully crafted goodbye and while I’d be hard pressed to poo poo a continuation of the show, it seems like it’s a good time to unplug the ventilator and let the Sacred Heart staff just slip away.
In the meantime here's a non-Saturday Scrubs fix just for good measure.
