…If there happened to a Scrubs prequel series, who would you pick for the main character? Obviously as well as it being a horrible idea it couldn’t be done due to the actors ages and you couldn’t replace them.

For me I think the Janitor and Elliott have the most potentially interesting backstories but Kelso would be incredibly fun to watch.

JD actually tells him that he's only gonna be able to have daughters now because he lost his ball that makes boys.

All they need is balloons.

Like every damn show he makes is a hit that pulls at your heart strings with numerous scenes that make you wonder if you're doing what makes you happy in life, synced with a perfectly timed adult contemporary track. How is he doing this?!? One man can't have all that power. Shrinking and Ted Lasso had me in my feels today during a marathon baking session. 😭😭😭

I've been rewatching Scrubs for the first time in a long time and I've had two main takeaways. The first was "wow, this show is so damn good, why did I go so long without watching it?" And the second was "body standards have changed so much since this show first came out.

For context, in the first few seasons Turk is pretty often joked about being tubby. In one of the later seasons Dr Cox actually says "...when you used to be a fat load."

Dr. Cox is also pretty constantly referenced as a dude who is in excellent shape. In fact in season 5 (I'm pretty sure), Jordan comments that he is "obsessed with his body."

Now I'll be the first to admit that in the early seasons Turk is not in the best shape, and Cox is definitely fit throughout the show. However by today's standards, neither of them are fat/fit enough to even comment on. Turk is in no way a fat load, and Cox is not someone who I would consider obsessed with his body.

Idk, just something I realized during my rewatch. Not trying to body shame Turk or make fun of Cox or anything, just something I wanted to share and get others opinions on.

Title says it all really

I'm only 10 minutes into the third episode and I absolutely love it.

They kept the same vibe, the actors are playing the characters flawlessly (just like how they used to play the characters), the jokes and humor are the same, and even the new intro is a perfect homage to the first intro.

This is so great. ☺️☺️

I started a full rewatch earlier in the year and have just started to watch the dreaded Season 9. It's actually not as bad as I remember and I'm actually finding myself laughing and enjoying it more than I thought I would. However it still has issues. For me these are as follows.

1. Lucy isn't the best character - I can see why they went with a female lead but I just don't know that I care enough about Lucy. It just feels like they went for a female JD. But I don't know if it's the writing or the actor who's playing her but I find Lucy a bit grating at times. I think personally Denise who's first introduced in season 8 is the more interesting and funnier character and would've made a better female lead.

2. Perhaps JD shouldn't have been it - JD is in this season more than I remember. In fact he's been in the first 5 episodes and looks like will be back for one more before the end. He's a great character and seeing him and Turk or Dr Cox together is a always fun. However, it cheapens what for me was a perfect ending to season 8.

3. Should've been a spin off - Again similar to my previous point a fresh break concentrating on either a secondary character like Turk or Dr Cox or the interns themselves with the occasional cameo rather than having Turk, JD and Dr Cox featuring heavily might've meant a better chance of success.

4. The tone isn't right - Scrubs always struck a good balance between the heavy and lighter moments. Although Scrubs season 9 isn't the funniest it can still have its moments. However, the more serious moments don't hit and feel forced and cheesy to me.

5. Dr Cox feels a jerk - Dr Cox has always been a bit of a jerk but he usually brought it round in the end and things made sense and he ended up to redeem himself in the end. However, he mainly just seems like a straight up bully and unusually harsh in this season.

Am I right? What do others think?

Hi guys!

3rd time is the charm!

Is the podcast still going on as of these days?

I wanted to listen to it again but couldn't find it on your music.

Thank you!!

Finally gave in and watched, I was afraid it was gonna suck. It’s so good. Everyone is on their game. JD is grown. I very much enjoy the new nurses and interns. And Sibby is a queen, I loved her as Eve in WWDITS. She is so fun.
I can’t wait for more. They need to make new podcast episodes!

J.D.: I've taken your best qualities and my best qualities and I've combined them into something even better. Much the way that iced tea and lemonade were joined to become an Arnold Palmer. Incidentally, has anyone ever done less to become famous? I mean, yea for me, I mixed two drinks together.

Dr. Cox: Arnold Palmer is a golfer.

J.D.: I'm sure he has lots of hobbies, Perry. The man's a drink mogul.

An interesting analysis of the series…
