      Right there with you, after what they did with the season that doesn’t exist (season 9, I refuse to acknowledge it) I don’t trust them with this property. The whole appeal of the show was JD and Turk’s growth, and of course the Cox rants. Also what’s the point without Ted.

    My favorite scrubs fact is that none of the streaming platforms can get the rights to the indie music Zack Braff shoved into all the final scenes so they replaced them all with generic open source songs which really hurts the quality.

      Only for the first four seasons. Rights agreements were different then.

      You’ll also find most streaming sites turn the 4:3 into 16:9 by chopping off the top and bottom of the frame.

      This is why I have the show on DVD.

        I don’t remember specifics but when Kickstarter was in its infancy Zach Braff had a couple kickstarters for his movies. They weren’t themselves offensive. It’s just that using a crowdfunding platform which, at the time at least, were mostly for people who had zero access to capital when you’re a multimillionaire with Hollywood connections to capital is a bit gauche.

          I threw in $100 for a Zach Braff movie. I got to be an extra (they fed us ribs for lunch), 2 t-shirts, then got 2 tickets for a sneak preview with free drinks and popcorn, and a q&a with Zach and Donald Faison…worth every penny, unlike the poor saps that have $1 million to solar freakin roadways.

            Genuinely, neat. I wonder how that all financially played out. It was probably mostly a tax deduction. (not that it was bad, but just to point at how the rich have faaaaaar more financial tools to motivate people than those who would ACTUALLY benefit from having access to such things)

              During the q&a someone asked about it. His first movie, Garden State basically got bankrolled by some rich dentist that he knew… He said the normal way of financing movies lets a bunch of rich people get to take control of the script, who you cast, what scenes make it in… Basically everything.

              He wanted to retain the control he had first time around to make his next movie, so he crowd funded it… And seeing how many movies get made by talented people that end up being garbage because money men think they know everything and fuck it up… Seemed reasonable 😏

    Scrubs was a special show. Some times woke and some times a product if it’s times. Meaning gay jokes cause guys hug. Super fun and then they hit you with that real real. Sorry Dr Kelso is so mean because he needs to keep this big ship running. It doesn’t work out good all the time but he tries.

    I liked the later seasons when Dr Cox was in charge and when he went through his alcohol problems. I even like the last season. It was different but it was still a good show.

      Now the question is when you’re going to introduce them to 30 Rock. Are they ready for that level of jokes-per-minute? What about Community?

    I was like “awesome! It was so funny and would be great to see a modern version of it!” And the I found out that it is a canonical continuation of the story and immediately got disappointed.

    Hollywood, listen. When something old was really good and you want to make more money off of it, take the idea that made it good and stop reviving the dead just to be surprised that it sucks.

    A new scrubs with a completely different set of people and story with just the key idea there would actually be awesome. Just remember how well the last season was accepted 😒

      yeah. beyond that, Fortnite ripped off the dance and denied Turk any royalties on it. I think the courts said something like “you can’t copyright a few dance moves!”

      What do you define as late millennial? Because as someone born toward the tail end of the millennials I feel like while I didn’t personally watch it on tv I heard about it a ton and then as an adult I did a binge watch of it

      Yeah that makes sense, the biggest crowd that watched it was probably the Millennials born 1981-1992. By the time I started watching it, I was in high school & it was wrapping up. But some of my cousins were in college when it came out.

      Yep, a built in marketing base of old farts telling young uns how good it is before it even exists.

    I wish I had the fond memories for this show that others do. My sibling wanted to get into medicine and would binge medical shows at home all the time. This was the first one. A few episodes is fine. But having this run 8 hours a day non-stop just made me hate this show. It’s way too formulaic to binge like that.

      I don’t think there are many shows I can take more than 4 episodes at one time. I remember visiting my cousin, and when I was leaving we watched Arrested Development until it was time to go to the airport. I found it funny and was enjoying it, but by hour 3 I was done and have never been able to get into it since.
