It will be the understatement of the century to say I’m a Scrubs fan.
My love affair/obsession with the sequence started shortly after I misplaced somebody near me. My sister bought me the Season 4 DVD to distract me, and I promptly watched each episode so many instances that I may quote them by coronary heart. Then, I went again to Scrubs Season 1 to catch up.
I nonetheless quote strains from the sequence to myself typically, have favorites from all seven NBC seasons, and am thrilled with the commercials for T-Cellular Zach Braff and Donald Faison do collectively, however I’m undecided concerning the proposed Scrubs reboot.
The Unique Scrubs Had A Excellent Ending, Then Bought Renewed
I’m extra a fan of the primary few seasons when Turk and JD had been interns reasonably than residents, however the Scrubs Season 8 finale was the proper ending for the sequence.
JD determined to depart the hospital for one nearer to his son, however earlier than he did, he had one final fantasy montage that might have been a time-jump ending earlier than these turned common.
JD: Who’s to say that this isn’t what occurs? Who’s to say that this one time, my fantasies don’t come true?
As unhappy as I used to be for Scrubs to go, that was so good that it didn’t want the rest.
Then it bought renewed for season 9, which was so horrible I couldn’t stand greater than the primary half episode — and I used to be obsessive about the unique! (It apparently additionally aired on ABC, as will the Scrubs reboot, however I forgot that too.)
The horrible new episodes had been a quasi-reboot that not solely undid the good sequence finale but additionally tried to do Scrubs with out JD. No, thanks!
I’m afraid {that a} Scrubs reboot can be simply as dangerous. I don’t need my recollections of this particular present ruined by an pointless try to recreate it, thanks.
What Would The Scrubs Reboot Even Be About?
In accordance with Deadline, the proposed new present would once more characteristic the skills of Zach Braff, Donald Faison, John C. McGinley, and Sarah Chalke.
In different phrases, JD and the remainder of the unique characters can be again. (No point out of the Janitor, although.)
So hopefully, we wouldn’t get Scrubs with out JD, however what the heck would we get?
Scrubs’ authentic appeal got here from baby-faced JD and a bunch of different new docs attempting to discover ways to do their jobs, together with navigating difficult relationships with Dr. Cox and Dr. Kelso, the docs who had the ability to finish their careers.
JD’s absurd fantasies, insecurities, crush on Elliot, and near-complete worship of Dr. Cox made sense, given he was firstly stage of his profession.
Zach Braff is near 50 now, and JD ought to be well-established in his profession. Dr. Cox ought to be near retirement, if not retired. So, what sort of premise will we get that makes any sense?
The insecurities and idolization JD engaged in throughout the authentic simply wouldn’t be cute on a middle-aged man.
Moreover, he’s presupposed to have a household now, and his son ought to be concerning the age he was when Scrubs started, so please don’t inform me JD hasn’t modified at all around the years.
I need to be enthusiastic about this Scrubs reboot, but when it’s an try to recreate one thing that was already on a season longer than it ought to have been, it’s pointless.
What do you assume, Scrubs fanatics? Am I lacking one thing? Will the Scrubs reboot be good regardless of how unworkable it appears?
