The Bard Posted November 12, 2010 Share Posted November 12, 2010 Every other season of Scrubs I've watched as the episodes were released, waiting, usually, with excitement. I gave up on season 9 about three episodes in. The show has been so badly bastardised that its almost unrecognisable. To be honest, it was following a trajectory towards American armchair humour from season 5 onwards, but I still watched because it was the characters that I loved, but even with the old veterans, you could see the enthusiasm waning with the repetition of the same old tropes and inability to come up with anything inventive beyond a three person worlds-most-giant doctor. Shame really, since the first three seasons are still some of my favourite tv ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashley Posted November 12, 2010 Share Posted November 12, 2010 Season eight wasn't too bad. It wasn't its best but it picked up from the previous few seasons of mediocrity. If we take Lawrence's word at face value (and I'm going to) when he says "part of the reason we did season 9 was to make sure it wasn't [further] bastardised and to keep people employed" then its...somewhat respectable. Shame he reset a lot of the characters to their previous selves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Bard Posted November 12, 2010 Share Posted November 12, 2010 The season 8 finale was fantastic. Being an emotionless wart, I am rarely as close to tears as I was during that episode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daft Posted November 12, 2010 Share Posted November 12, 2010 This from episode 15 was the most amazing of things, Now on Spotify. Finally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashley Posted November 12, 2010 Share Posted November 12, 2010 Awesome thanks. Now I can listen without having to watch the episode clip. (although I do like the Cox/Jordan moment in it but nice to be without the random talking) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nekunando Posted November 13, 2010 Share Posted November 13, 2010 Weep for me bitch. It was a perfect ending so it's unfortunate they had to go and spoil it by creating another season ..and given how I'm feeling tonight, it was only fitting that a couple of tears should roll down my cheek as I watched that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cube Posted November 13, 2010 Share Posted November 13, 2010 The ending of the Med School spin-off was extremely lame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daft Posted November 13, 2010 Share Posted November 13, 2010 I'm four episodes into it and I quite like it. I thought it was going to be an on going thing. Didn't realise it was just going to end after one season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan_Dare Posted November 13, 2010 Share Posted November 13, 2010 As I understand it, the season was greenlit pretty much to give Scrubs crew members another year of work. Quality was, at the time, a secondary consideration at best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashley Posted November 13, 2010 Share Posted November 13, 2010 The ending of the Med School spin-off was extremely lame. Because it wasn't an ending. It was an episode that happened to become an ending. Which sucked a bit but that's life/the business of television. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daft Posted November 14, 2010 Share Posted November 14, 2010 I actually love season 9. If Denise was a real person I'd fly over to America right now and propose to her. Just so she could reject me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daft Posted November 14, 2010 Share Posted November 14, 2010 is she the really smokin intern? Yup and she's a bit of an emotionless bitch for added hotness. I do actually love her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nekunando Posted November 21, 2010 Share Posted November 21, 2010 I caught part of an episode from Season 9 last night before I went to bed and.. it just wasn't Scrubs I didn't like it much at all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nekunando Posted November 25, 2010 Share Posted November 25, 2010 They just had the final episode on E4 there (Yeh.. Season 9 doesn't count ) and it completely kills me every time I see it and just lets me know that I'm not OK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daft Posted November 25, 2010 Share Posted November 25, 2010 All you people - you're insane. Season 9 is excellent. One of the better seasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daft Posted November 25, 2010 Share Posted November 25, 2010 Haha!! You know me too well. Almost. Nah, I thought it was great. The only weak character was the main blond girl but otherwise loved it. Plus, Denise. I'm in love. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Bard Posted November 25, 2010 Share Posted November 25, 2010 I couldn't stand what little of it I watched, but I guess when you've religiously followed 8 seasons of a show, you come into it with some predispositions, and it was so different from Scrubs at its greatest (first 3 seasons) that I immediately hated it. Denise is cool though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
