After lots of reccomendations, I've decided to give this a try. A few episodes in and I'm really enjoying myself and it finally seems like there's a new show for me to get into, conveniently on Netflix.

I really like the Dr. Cox character, and I really enjoy the Turk/J.D dynamic and I think making quirky sitcom characters and putting them in a hospital environment is a cool idea. The cut-away gags and the daydreaming thing is kind of fun. Just, sometimes when the show tried to get serious so far it didn't really do anything for me.

Also, does the Janitor turn into a better character eventually? He has to, I think. At least, I really hope. I really like the guy in The Middle and was hoping to enjoy that character.

Anyway, is it worth it if I try to binge a lot of this and make it all the way through? Been looking for a new show. I'm enjoying myself, especially after looking up that intro song

Best bromance of all time.

I wish I had guy love lol https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cPZa9FHPTQI my best friend is a woman. I have a bunch of bros but nothing like JD and Turk have

 

[Hazmat]

It's a really great show. There's a dip in quality about 6 seasons in, but it pulls itself back up before the end.

Yeah season 6 is bad and you should just skip 7 but 8 is one of the best seasons and the show has a great ending. Skip season 9 which is like saved by the bell the new class.

Bink!

 

[BobLoblaw]

Hooch is crazy.

 

[ZZMitch]

Keep an open mind in regards to the more serious Scrubs episodes. A few of my favorite Scrubs episodes are the the ones that are more drama than comedy.

 

[JeremyEtcetera]

Great series. The creator of it was inspired by the Simpsons(and a bit of Family Guy) and you can tell.

I won't spoil anything but I always thought of the very, very last season(which was technically a different show that people hated) as a nice, fun, and satisfactory bonus to the ending of the last season.

 

[Quonny]

Dr. Kelso is the best character on the show.

 

[Cow Mengde]

I don't get the hate for season 9. Yeah, it wasn't as good as the previous seasons, but it wasn't awful either. It wasn't suppose to be a exact replica of the previous seasons. It was using it to jump start and do its own thing. If the show was given an extra season or two, it could grow into its own thing.

 

[Choomp]

I love that guy too lol

 

[Cow Mengde]

[Retsudo]

I want a friendship like JD and Turk have. Thats true love and dedication man.
Imo the janitor gets better, but i liked his character from the beginning so ymmv.

I actually quite like it but it got cancelled, so if I had the choice of never watching it, I would have picked that so we kept the logical season 8 finale.

 

[rObit]

Yeah the janitor gets awesome, don't worry.

 

[Bobby Roberts]

...you mean why is there silverware in the pancake drawer?

WHUH-HUAWH

 

[SodiumBenzoate]

I don't agree with skipping any of it, but seasons 6 and 7 are definitely the low point.



Great show, that could be wacky and stupid and still completely nail moments like this (trying to not spoil anything for OP):

 

[Tabris]

Here are my two favourite scenes that aren't drama focused (I don't want to spoil those for OP):

DO YOU SEE WHAT YOU GET WHEN YOU MESS WITH THE WARRIOR?

THERE'S ALWAYS WOMEN AT THE POOL

edit - This one too - HE CAN DANCE IF HE WANTS TO

 

[foxtrot3d]

Right in the feels.

 

[John Kowalski]

Jordan was the best i thought.

 

[old manatee]

I just can't root for Zach Braff.

 

[JohnsonUT]

Love this show.

One that I always wondered was why the hospital got so much darker in the later seasons. It always felts like night. Were they trying to save electricity on the set?

 

[……forgetit]

The Janitor is an asshole, that never changes.

 

[Bold One]

Great Show overrall,

Yes even the last season

 

[123rl]

One of my favourite shows ever. On a personal level, it really helped me during a difficult time in my life. My dad died a few weeks before I discovered this show after battling cancer for years. There are so many episodes that really touched me because the show was so sincere and real. The episodes in-between were funny and clever but it was the serious episodes that truly helped me.

You mean Rotinaj, can be confused with Dr Rotinaj

 

[Choomp]

I just can't root for Zach Braff.

I freakin love the guy. Looking out for that Wish You Were Here movie to watch also.

 

[Nokterian]

I love this show best bro's with turk and jd and Dr.Reid <3

 

[ElectricBlanketFire]

I hate this show.

 

[HammerFace]

Skip season 9, it's awful. It ruins the real end of the show. And it goes absolutely nowhere.

 

[Sesuadra]

I hate this show.

go away.

 

[The Boat]

Great, now I gotta watch this again! Sarah Chalke <3

 

[Cow Mengde]

I hate this show.

What has two thumbs and doesn't give a crap?

 

[Jisgsaw]

It's my favorite comedy show (recently challenged by arrested development), so yeah OP, you can safely continue watching.
As others have said, dont drop out in the weaker seasons 6-7, the season 8 is great, with a great finale. I'd personaly say to skip S9, the show ended on a strong point in S8.

You have the wrong guy on your avatar.

 

[……forgetit]

I hate this show.

Good for you

 

[Xun]

Season 9 makes more sense when you realise it was going to be titled differently.

It is shitty though.

 

[Hasney]

I hate this show.

I'm surprised I didn't get an avatar quote by now.

Not a fan of quoting JD's crotch

Scrubs is the show that defined the bromance.

Keep an open mind in regards to the more serious Scrubs episodes. A few of my favorite Scrubs episodes are the the ones that are more drama than comedy.

I feel like this is an odd plea considering the more solemn episodes are widely considered the show's best.

 

[Oersted]

Grey's Anatomy always wraps up every episode with some cheesy voiceover that ties together all the story lines, which, incidentally, is my least favorite device on television.

 

[Quonny]

I hope FFXV captures the bromance even just a sliver as well as Scrubs did.

 

[Toa TAK]

Show went out with a bang I say:

I hate this show.

It's one thing to say it,

but another to not explain it.

 

[Choomp]

Show went out with a bang I say:

Dave Franco gets in on this? Man, after I do some more video gaming I really want to get back into this.

That is more of a whimper. Would have done better as a true spinoff with a different title though.

 

[Cronen]

There is no season 9.

 

[Zeyphersan]

Probably my 3rd favorite show, maybe fourth. It's not the funniest, but it has the realest moments of any tv comedy I've seen, and that Turk/JD bromance is a sight to behold

Reading this thread just makes me want to watch it again, I can't help it

 

[sohois]

The actual comedy in "season 9" was fine; not classic by any means but would place firmly in the middle of scrubs season rankings.

Seems most of the hate is simply due to it being the ninth season in the first place, tarnishing the finale. Had it been branded as a spinoff as was intended I'd imagine reactions to be more positive.
