Scrubs -- Season Eight

[AlistairCrane]

What can I say, Scrubs is back and it's fantastic!

The first episode tonight was particularly hilarious. Loved Eliot's "Bye, mom" line. Courteney Cox is really good as the manic Chief of Medicine.

The second episode was classic Scrubs--touching without being sentimental. Denise the intern looks like a fun new character. And I know Bill Lawrence said that we wouldn't notice all of the regulars not being in every episode, but I did.

[sneggz]

They fired the Janitor! WTF?

[the goddamn batman]

The second episode was classic Scrubs

Fully. It didn't even skip a beat. (except the beard)

The first episode was a pretty typical first episode by Scrubs standards. The second episode is everything the show's lacked for the last few seasons.

[Shadowfax32]

Best line of the night: "Look at you guys getting all emotional. Pretty soon you'll all get your periods around the same time."

[DanElHombre]

I thought my best laugh was after JD fantasized about the old woman. When they cut back to him he had two hotdogs in his pocket.

Turk: Your welcome!

Episode 5 looks entertaining. Spoiler images here. (http://www.scrubs-hq.com/photos/thumbnails.php?album=226)

The Janitor's back! The show wouldn't have been the same without him.

Also, The Todd! (where's he been hiding the last 2 episodes? In the closet five!).

[AlistairCrane]

The series had damn well better have a happy ending for us JD/Eliot shippers.

[the goddamn batman]

The series had damn well better have a happy ending for us JD/Eliot shippers.

No way... it'll be resolved, but, I hope they don't end up together.

[AlistairCrane]

No way... it'll be resolved, but, I hope they don't end up together.

Well...if you really want to know...
EW: Where did you land on the whole J.D./Elliot thing? You've made no secret of the fact that you didn't want them to end up together.
Bill Lawrence: I don't want to ruin it for the audience, so let's just say I ended up compromising.

from http://ausiellofiles.ew.com/2009/01/exclusive-scrub.html

[the goddamn batman]

Well... I don't know exactly what that means, I just think it'd be a double back on 7 seasons if they walked off screen to their happily ever after, you know?

Would it not?

[AlistairCrane]

Well... I don't know exactly what that means, I just think it'd be a double back on 7 seasons if they walked off screen to their happily ever after, you know?

Would it not?

No, not really. JD and Eliot have a strong fanbase who would be royally pissed if the show ended any other way. Of course, Scrubs will have its own Scrubs-y spin on it, but I imagine it'll be satisfying for the audience.

[the goddamn batman]

No, not really. JD and Eliot have a strong fanbase who would be royally pissed if the show ended any other way.

Sure, of course they do. But I'm saying that hasn't it been shown multiple times why they're not together?

And I believe there's a large fanbase that don't want them together.

[The Black Guardian]

There was a time when I kind of liked JD and Eliot together, but that ended around season 2 or 3. Friends, sure, but nothing other than that, or I'll be displeased.

[the goddamn batman]

I'm moderately disappointed that after eight seasons the show's come down to nothing more than a "will they/won't they."

[DanElHombre]

If there is ever going to be a spin off without JD then he is either going to die or leave Sacred Heart.

I dont want them together anymore, but I would love if they brought back the funny version of Kim.

[the goddamn batman]

If there is ever going to be a spin off without JD then he is either going to die or leave Sacred Heart.


ABC has mentioned the show continuing on with a new cast if it performs well this season...

[AlistairCrane]

If there is ever going to be a spin off without JD then he is either going to die or leave Sacred Heart.


One of your ideas is actually correct.

[AlistairCrane]

There was a time when I kind of liked JD and Eliot together, but that ended around season 2 or 3. Friends, sure, but nothing other than that, or I'll be displeased.

And I would be displeased if they didn't end up together!

Ah well, prepare to be displeased. :wink:

[the goddamn batman]

I hope JD and Elliott decide to be together... then JD dies... or Elliott dies and JD leaves Sacred Heart.

Of all the things Lawrence has said about the end of the show, that's the best ending for me. Or JD leaving and them not being together, but I'm pretty sure they'll end up together. Lawrence seems to be aware of the fabase, and that end of it seems to be louder than the other.

[jdwrocks]

I think the worst part of the show is the whole Elliot/JD relationship. When they are together it's a tough show to watch. They are much better characters apart. Just let them be collegues.

[Spidey-kid1]

I just saw the two first episodes. I'm happy with them. They're really starting to cut down on the daydreams though. Maybe to signify JD getting more mature?

Also, I liked the new chief of medicine. I was hoping Cox would take her apart when she told him she was keeping that guy for money though. I liked her a lot right up until that moment.

[The Black Guardian]

And I would be displeased if they didn't end up together!

Ah well, prepare to be displeased. :wink:
You might want to, as well. The man did say he compromised. That doesn't sound like them being happily together ever after at the end.

I think I would prefer JD and Turk to finally admit that they're both bi and in love with each other, and Carla and Eliot will just have to deal with sharing them. That I could enjoy.

JD and Eliot have abused each other far too much. Honestly, I can't even see why they're still friends, except for the fact they're both self-loathers. I always remember that scene back when Eliot was with JD's brother, and they realize that neither of them have any feelings for each other anymore. That should have been it, and the subject should never have been broached again.

And I agree with the goddamn batman that it's disappointing to see the show come down to this.

[AlistairCrane]

You might want to, as well. The man did say he compromised. That doesn't sound like them being happily together ever after at the end.


Compromising to Bill could very well be giving us the happy ending we deserve. Sorry you're not a 'shipper, but we deserve to have our happy ending.

[jdwrocks]

Compromising to Bill could very well be giving us the happy ending we deserve. Sorry you're not a 'shipper, but we deserve to have our happy ending.
Who's we? Nobody I know ants the 2 together. They're pathetic as a couple. And it brings the show down. I understand some people want them to be together, but it always bring the series down to nearly unwatchable. Stop caring about the 2 being together, it makes for bad television.

Sorry if I offend but it's a pathetic relationship.

[the goddamn batman]

Compromising to Bill could very well be giving us the happy ending we deserve. Sorry you're not a 'shipper, but we deserve to have our happy ending.

What? Why?

[noh-varr]

JD and Elliot are so much better apart. And really even if the show ended with them together, within a month they would be apart. Just look at EVERY time the two have been a couple. They get together and boom chaos and instantly one of them wants out. It's because they just don't work together and that's fine.

Turk and JD ending up officially together without screwing over Carla would be the best ending.

[SlightlyMad]

I think Elliot should get together with Courtney Cox's character!

[MNM]

Sorry if I offend but it's a pathetic relationship.

Because you are your group of friends make up the bulk of the shows auidence.

I'd like Elliot and JD togetehr at the end. Lawerence may not like it, but a lot of the writing staff do, so who knows.

But still, that isnt the be all and end all of the show for me. Loved the first two episodes of this season, just dont really care for the new interns.

[DanElHombre]

I think it's safe to say if Bill Lawrence doesnt want JD & Elliot together, then they wont be together, regardless of what the writing staff wants.

[AlistairCrane]

I think it's safe to say if Bill Lawrence doesnt want JD & Elliot together, then they wont be together, regardless of what the writing staff wants.

And Bill Lawrence has gone on record saying he's not getting his way this time.

Why do JD/Eliot fans deserve to be unhappy?

[Agent Helix]

Why does their happiness hinge on the relationship of fictional people?

[AlistairCrane]

Because people like romance, silly.

Would it kill you to have a happy ending? No it wouldn't. So stop complaining and just let us have ours!

[Agent Helix]

But it seems like there's lots of other people that think having those two characters end up together would be dumb. Why don't they deserve a happy ending?

[AlistairCrane]

But it seems like there's lots of other people that think having those two characters end up together would be dumb. Why don't they deserve a happy ending?

Because that stance is stupid. Every show deserves a romantic happy ending, and if we did a scientific poll of all Scrubs fans, we'd see that the majority want JD and Eliot together.

If JD and Eliot don't get together, we shippers will be miserable, whereas the haters will be fine. If JD and Eliot get together, we shippers will be happy, and the haters will be content anyway.

Seems to be it makes more sense to get them together because the haters won't be as disappointed as shippers would if they didn't get together.

A little romance never hurt anyone, AH. Open your heart!

[Agent Helix]

Why is it stupid? If the characters are written in a way that makes sense that doesn't involve them "getting together", and that's what the writers of the show intend, how is it that they're somehow wrong? It's their show, not yours.

Obsessive perceived fan ownership of fictional characters is such a weird thing.

We're the fans. It's OUR show. We're the ones who watch it, we pay their bills. They don't make this show for them, they make it for us.

Bill Lawrence said he didn't want them together, but he compromised. Sounds like a positive development in our favour that I guess you're just going to have to accept.

[Agent Helix]

I don't even watch the show regularly. I haven't watched it in years. I just find this attitude to be so ridiculously anti-art, anti-creativity, and anti-logic that it's baffling to me.

If it doesn't make sense for characters to end up in a romantic relationship, they shouldn't. If a show doesn't need a romantic relationship to progress story, it shouldn't have one. If an ending is written just to please a subset of fans that want to feel all warm and gooey inside because it validates what they've written on their blogs, then it's a bad ending.

[Agent Helix]

I mean, this is basically the joke in Gremlins 2 about "Casablanca - Now in color and with a happy ending!", except it's horrifyingly real.

[GozertheGozarian]

Bull and shit. It's Bill Lawrence's show, plain and simple. You don't pay his bills, the network does. And the network pays through advertising spots. They owe you nothing, and demanding reeks of entitlement whorism.

[AlistairCrane]

Bull and shit. It's Bill Lawrence's show, plain and simple. You don't pay his bills, the network does. And the network pays through advertising spots. They owe you nothing, and demanding reeks of entitlement whorism.

You're absolutely WRONG. The show wouldn't exist without people like us to watch it. Do you think they're airing it for animals to watch? No, it's for fans to watch. As the audience, they write the show for our entertainment. We don't just passively receive what they dish out to us---it's a two-way street where we, through message boards and so on, let them know what we like and don't like, and they have to please us because we'll quit watching and they'll get cancelled.

[AlistairCrane]

If I ever encountered Helix or Gozer in real life, the movie title "There will be blood" would become literal.

[Agent Helix]

What, because you'd be too busy spontaneously menstruating everywhere or something?

People disagree with you, deal with it. Threatening them with physical violence over something like this, whether or not two MAKE BELIEVE CHARACTERS ON A FICTIONAL TV-SHOW SHOULD HAVE SEX AND GET MARRIED is borderline, nay, completely psychotic.

[jesse_custer]

That was a nice reference to a film masterpiece in the context of a shitty, unfunny television show.

[AlistairCrane]

Agent Helix and Gonzer have been added to my ignore list. I'm not interested in discussing things with people who disagree with me unless they come around to my side.

The board is going to seem awfully quiet to you if you stick to this.

I enjoy the peace. The ignore list is an ingenious feature because it allows me to weed through who I don't want to talk to, leaving me with only the people I like, which means we'll all disagree and there will be peace. Too bad the world can't do the same thing.

[jesse_custer]

Yeah, it's too bad you can't be magically shielded from everyone you disagree with on fictional relationships.

[AlistairCrane]

Yeah, it's too bad you can't be magically shielded from everyone you disagree with on fictional relationships.

Relationships are the most important pieces of fiction. And if you check, you'll see that I ignore people for other things as well. Their disagreements are threatening to me, so I need to protect myself somehow.

[GozertheGozarian]

Fucking SIGGED!
Should I, or would that be cruel?

Well I bet you feel safe now! :biggrin:

Agent Helix picks a winner:

I hope so. That's quite possibly the dumbest thing I've ever read at CBR, and I've been here 10 years! :smile:

[SUPERECWFAN1]

Scrubs the series will continue from whats been reported. But they need to keep Cox, the Janitor and the older cast. JD and the rest can be wrote out and again...not every series ends in romantic happy endings.

M.A.S.H ended (its my all time favorite comedy/drama) ended with Hawkeye and the people going home. But not before he suffered a chilling nervous breakdown brought on by years of stress and seeing people he loved die.

Quantom Leap ended with Sam Beckett never leaping home. So even though he loved his wife and his friends...he realized he chose that life to leap and help people.

[Paradox]

No personal attacks. If you don't like what someone says, argue against what's said and not against the person. No ad hominem attacks will be tolerated.

AlistairCrane, a similar discussion with you broke out in the Doctor Who thread. Not every story needs to have romance or sexual tension and not everyone wants it. Just because someone doesn't want romance in a show or movie doesn't make the person wrong or unromantic. Drop this argument. Now.

This statement was unnecessary. As I said, I've already placed the users in question on my ignore list, making it impossible to fight with them. As for your statement about "not every story", that's no fact---it's just your opinion, so I think we'd all appreciate it if you didn't try to present it as such.

Thank you.

Uh... oh.

[Tony Bang]

From Hell would have so much better if Sir Gull and Queen Victoria got together. Why doesn't Alan Moore write for the fans!?

I caught the second episode of Scurbs and it was really good. It was a great decision not to use all the characters every episode.

The reason I made the statement I did is they are not the only people you've had this kind of argument with. Also, when it comes to romance or sexual tension in every story, yours is actually the opinion in this case.

Also, this is the last this subject will be discussed publicly. Move it to PM if you need to, for all intents and purposes, the matter is settled.

I think the same thing. It was good, and funnier, that they essentially had the entire story with Jordan and the new chief of medicine happen off-camera. Aniz Ansari is funny in just about everything he does, and I love he's the new trendsetter/cool guy in the hospital.

My main problem with the show is how the supporting character became parodies of themselves, and this is a great way to side-step it.

This is the only show I really look forward to watching outside of the Venture Brothers and Mad Men now.

OMG! Seriously?? :eek:

[sneggz]

OMG! Seriously?? :eek:
First episode! But you know that cant last.... can it? Or is that the catalyst for him to finally reveal his name?

[the goddamn batman]

Scrubs? Yes? No? Anybody watch it? We scared to talk about it now?

I thought both episodes were really great. Obviously I didn't care so much for the end of episode 4... but we'll see.

I don't really notice people missing from episodes until after the episode, so... like, it doesn't really bother me. At least people seem to be important when they're in the episode. I wonder if Kim's going to show up at any point... or that Lavern/Shirley thing they pulled last season...?

It's been pretty continuity heavy so far. I mean, for switching networks as a mid season after a rather long hiatus, that was kind of surprising. I'm glad they didn't have to dumb it down because of that.

I'm really glad this will be the last season instead of the lackluster season 7. Way to go out on top, Scrubs.

[Ilash]

Maybe it's too early to tell but Scrubs seems to be very much back on form. The first episode was only OK and the second one faltered with the comedy as it strongly delivered on the drama. The last two episodes have been great though. The balance between humour and heart hasn't been this impressive in years. Most importantly, they've made Elliot and, most crucially, JD likable characters again. It's especially atonishing that I absolutely loved episode 4, which dealt with the (until now) old and very worn-out JD/ Elliot relationship and left me entirely satisfied with the ending. I do hope that they don't undo the good work and that have finally put the matter to rest.

All in all, if they keep this up, we're going to be left with one of the best seasons of Scrubs yet.

[SUPERECWFAN1]

I'm really glad this will be the last season instead of the lackluster season 7. Way to go out on top, Scrubs.

It supposedly won't be the last season if it performs well enough for ABC. They have no comedies and its said if Scubs does well enough , it'll come back next season revamped. With Braff and a few cast members gone.

[tangentman]

Why did Scrubs replace Ugly Betty tonight? I found it annoying, especially considering the COMCAST schedule said UB had a new episode. Given that last week ended on a cliffhanger, it seemed like ABC could've done better than leaving Betty fans hanging that way. :mad:

[noh-varr]

They replaced Ugly Betty because Bush had to slaughter grammar and speak on more time. They wouldn't want to waste the commercial dollars a new Ugly Betty would bring in by having to cut them out to make it all fit in an hour. Simple economics and last minute notice.

So I find something odd about Scrubs and I guess House too. How is it the comedy (Scrubs) has their patients realistically die, yet the drama (House) never has a patient die, they live happily ever after 99% of the time. Just confuses me.

[the goddamn batman]

and the second one faltered with the comedy as it strongly delivered on the drama. The last two episodes have been great though.

Most importantly, they've made Elliot and, most crucially, JD likable characters again.

Really? I thought the comedy in #2 was great. Steak Night!

That's my favorite episode of the season so far. But yeah, this is easily the best Scrubs has been since, I dunno, season 3 or 4. 5 wasn't bad, and had some really great moments... but it was the beginning of the end.

And, in retrospect, Season 6 suffers from a long slump in the middle, but it starts and ends well enough. It's mostly just Season 7 that I hate.

Really, though, the only problem Scrubs ever truly had was turning JD and Elliott into, not only characters you didn't like, but characters that were a million miles away from where they started. It just wasn't the same characters.

It supposedly won't be the last season if it performs well enough for ABC. They have no comedies and its said if Scubs does well enough , it'll come back next season revamped. With Braff and a few cast members gone.

Which, like, isn't Scrubs. If you ask me anyway. Scrubs is about JD and co. Without them, it's not Scrubs.

So I find something odd about Scrubs and I guess House too. How is it the comedy (Scrubs) has their patients realistically die, yet the drama (House) never has a patient die, they live happily ever after 99% of the time. Just confuses me.

I don't know about House, but Scrubs is a Dramedy... it's not just a comedy. It's Scrubs' ability to turn on a dime that I admire it for.

And, I think the point of House is that House is a freaking genius, so he can fix anything. But I don't know, I've never watched it.

[Paradox]

the goddamn batman has the right idea:

Which, like, isn't Scrubs. If you ask me anyway. Scrubs is about JD and co. Without them, it's not Scrubs.

Two words.

"After MASH"

[Mermaid]

First episode! But you know that cant last.... can it? Or is that the catalyst for him to finally reveal his name?

true....possibly not. Damnit I want the new season here!

[Ilash]

It really does seem like Bill Lawrence and his team of writers sat down and took a careful look at what wasn't working and went out of their way to fix it. They recognised how whiney and self-involved Elliot had become over the last few seasons, made the character acknowledge that and made her likable again. JD had totally devolved from the character that he once was but at last he's finally acting like the heart and soul of the show that he was in the early years. His increasinly absurd and lengthy fantasies have been stripped down - even made fun of in the show - to what they were like, again, in the show's prime. Lastly, they also seem to have acknowledged that the dramatic aspect of the show had been downplayed a lot in recent seasons and they've got the balance right again.

It really is an impressive return to form. Here's hoping they keep it up.

[SUPERECWFAN1]

Which, like, isn't Scrubs. If you ask me anyway. Scrubs is about JD and co. Without them, it's not Scrubs.
.

Two words.

"After MASH"

As a debate in my LCS started a few really big fans of the show chimed in. They all said this ...

"As long as Dr.Cox , the Janitor and a few hospital guys are left...yeah bring a new cast in."


Thats a majority of thoughts. They all agreed that if none of those people stay , they should end it.

[the goddamn batman]

Okay... I think if you remove the star and central character of the show, it's not the same show.

I, personally, have no interest in watching Janitor and Dr. Cox redo their relationship with JD with a different character. Because if those two stay, you know that's what it'll be.

[Paradox]

Happy Days without Ritchie.

That '70s Show without Eric.

When has it EVER worked to remove the central character? Scrubs wasn't really an ensemble cast. When you have one guy doing the narration, that's your central character.

[noh-varr]

Another example of a show that really failed after the main character left, Spin City. After Michael J. Fox left and Bill Lawrence left the show, it went down hill. The show was completely different in tone and the ratings did go down. Charlie Sheen and Heather Locklear did still bring enough to the show but it lacked. Plus multiple other characters just disappeared with NO explanation at all.

I think the show may be able to survive without JD, maybe. But Bill Lawrence and Judy Reyes (Carla) leaving means the show should just give up.

Story wise that would be the loss of the main character and another main character who is WIFE of another main character and it's established she wants nothing but to work at the hospital.

[the goddamn batman]

Yeah, everything else aside, if Lawrence and Braff aren't a part of it... it's not Scrubs.

[AlistairCrane]

I gotta tell ya, I absolutely adored the 9:30 episode of Scrubs. YAY they're back together!!! :biggrin: :biggrin: :biggrin:

[the goddamn batman]

I gotta tell ya, I absolutely adored the 9:30 episode of Scrubs. YAY they're back together!!! :biggrin: :biggrin: :biggrin:

Wait... you liked that? No way. Not you.

And yeah, they are... for now. We'll see what happens. There's still time left for things to change and Lawrence did say there was a compromise...

[Ilash]

Wait... you liked that? No way. Not you.

And yeah, they are... for now. We'll see what happens. There's still time left for things to change and Lawrence did say there was a compromise...

I for one hope they keep it that way. Enough of the will they/ won't they crap. It was handled well, why mess with it?

[noh-varr]

I think it won't last. It's too early in the season to remain. Most relationships in Scrubs last a few episodes, I think it will end in a messy fashion. Just because it's how the characters WORK. They really screw up their relationships, especially when it's both JD and Elliot together. That is both sides of the relationship subconsciously and sometimes consciously working to mess up what they have.

[AlistairCrane]

Here's what Bill Lawrence meant about the compromise, from Michael Ausiello at EW.com:

Question: I seriously hate you... How about some Scrubs scoop? -- Teela
Ausiello: You sweet-talker, you. How's this? Remember how boss man Bill Lawrence told us that he'd compromised on the JD/Elliot thing. Well, now that they're officially dating again, you're probably wondering, "Um, so what was the compromise?" Well, this is it: "The season isn't about [them dating]," he tells me. "[We got to] make everyone happy that wants them to be a couple, [but] I get to win [too, because] it's not Ross and Rachel. The rest of the year isn't, 'Are we together? Are we not together?' It just works because they're grown-ups, and they like each other."

[the goddamn batman]

Super lame...

[DonC]

How about Elmo getting some action?

[AlistairCrane]

I'm glad that Scrubs is handling JD/Elliot this way. I was disappointed with Friends' final season, when we only got to enjoy Ross and Rachel as a couple for like two and a half minutes. Also, I agree with Bill Lawrence that the JD/Elliot relationship is beyond the "Will they/won't they/Break up/reunion" thing and am glad to see them just...together.

[mgs]

How about Elmo getting some action?
that was weird. i wasn't really digging the whole, 'this is a sad episode' thing, esp. with the sad version of the sesame street song, when there was that whole, clip of JD doing an alternate line at the end.

[Ilash]

Six episodes in and season 8 is already miles better than the last two seasons. In fact, I think I can officially say that this is a return to form that none of us had any reason to hope for. Aside for one or two issues that I have with it, season 8 is classic scrubs, firing on all cylinders in both drama and comedy departments. And I really like JD and Elliot again as seperate characters after two years when they were the weak links in the show and I think they're really dealing with their relationship beautifully this season.

All that said though, am I the only one who finds Ed irritating beyond words? All the other interns that they've spotlighted have been good, interesting characters and... actually, I think I just understood why I hate Ed so much. He's just like JD from seasons 6 and 7, more over the top charicature than character.

Still this season is kicking ass and My Cookie Pants may well be its best episode yet.

[Bergman]

How about Elmo getting some action?

He just wants Abby Kadaby to be jealous.

But I wouldn't mind rubbin up against Jo either.:evilsmile:

On the bright side, we get the Janitor's real name at the end of the season and it looks like the show is going out much better then it would have been if last season was the last.

To end the talk, Lawrence handed out "Scrubs" collectibles, including scrubs used on the show, "Scrubs" chapstick, and several signed copies of the series finale script.

I don't feel like I need to know the janitors name.

But remember JD saw him in the Fugitive. That would make janitor's name Neil Flynn.

Here's what Bill Lawrence meant about the compromise, from Michael Ausiello at EW.com:

Question: I seriously hate you... How about some Scrubs scoop? -- Teela
Ausiello: You sweet-talker, you. How's this? Remember how boss man Bill Lawrence told us that he'd compromised on the JD/Elliot thing. Well, now that they're officially dating again, you're probably wondering, "Um, so what was the compromise?" Well, this is it: "The season isn't about [them dating]," he tells me.

I can live with that. I wanted them together, but I've never needed it as the main arc/story of the season.

[The Black Guardian]

Anything other than Jan Itor will be a letdown.
Or Jani. Jani Tor.

He said it's the same name as the Janitor in Clone High... wasn't he voiced by Neil Flynn? I don't remember the character's name...

A quick dig through imdb.com will give you the answer to the Janitor's name in Clone High, and therefore, in Scrubs. I don't want to ruin it for anyone here, though. :o)

Wait... you guys can see the Janitors name on IMDB? All I see is "Julius Caesar / ... (12 episodes, 2002-2003)"

Is there a way to, like, expand the "/..." to show who else he voiced? Do you have to be a pro member or something? Am I dense or retarded or something?

Ted was great indeed, but my favourite moment was Cox cavalierly firing Ed. Ed sucked.

Eh... Ed will be back. Getting fired is going to motivate him or some shit. :rolleyes:

That said, I like Ed.

[AlistairCrane]

I hate Ed. He's a disgusting little worm and he deserves to be eviscerated. Or fired.

...Well, I got half of what I wanted. :wink:

I loved the beginning of the first episode, with Elliot and JD making out. :biggrin:

[robinson76]

I love this show. I'm glad that Scrubs is handling JD/Elliot in a good way. I think this show is getting better and better with the present episodes. It's really interesting to watch. I catch up missed episodes on tv series (http://tv.blinkx.com/).

[Caanan]

I am loving the new interns. I thought Sunny was going to be one note, but it looks like she has real room for growth. I welcome Sunny!

And Denise is just awesome.

I'm kinda glad they are moving the show to Wednesdays.It sucked trying to watch 90 and 60 seconds between Fringe.

I'm just now finding out that Bill Lawrence has a blog on ABC's website. (http://forums.abc.go.com/n/blogs/blog.aspx?nav=main&webtag=scrubsramblings)

Here was his post about the "Jelliot" compromise.

WHY I CAVED AND PUT ELLIOT AND J.D. BACK TOGETHER
Jan-16-2009 12:34:35 PM
Let's start by saying that that the "p" thing finally worked, but only if I don't edit anything. Kicking my computer only worked a little. Thanks for all the help.

Okay, here was my thinking. There was massive argument/discussion between writers/cast/wife. Ultimately it came down to this - I wanted, at some point, to sleep with my wife again...

No. The real skinny. Christa, Zach and others were right: Sarah and Zach do have chemistry, and whether I wanted people to care or not, they apparently care about this couple. So, I'm stuck in a position of not bbeing able to please everybody. Which, then, is the better option?

If they don't get together, there will be no pleasing the happy ending folk that wanted this to be so. They would simply feel like I got them invested and then didn't deliver. On the other hand, if they do get together, I will lose everyone that desperately didn't want this to happen. Or will I (arch eyebrow raised)?

See, my problem with the Jelliot coupling was that we - as writers - fell into a trap whenever we put them together. We wrote about nothing but them as a couple, and the show changed. This is why I tried to kill them for good with that awful "I don't love you" moment. But it didn't bury it, so I had to acknowledge that the relationship was unkillable. I made a deal with the other writers. If we could put J.D. and Elliot back together in a mature/grown-up/non-sexual/non-sensational manner, and if we promised not to make the show suddenly about them, then I was open to it. Plus, I was not interested in their re-coupling being a key element in the finale of the show. But the fourth episode...? I tried to put into J.D.'s mouth, words that are a promise to fans (from us writer types) about the "no more ridiculousness" tone of this relationship now. So, I hope the shippers are happy, I hope the others don't feel betrayed, but those are my reasons.

And, of course, the sex with my wife thing.

[SlightlyMad]

I'm still loving the show but disappointed that some of the main cast (e.g. Turk, Elliott) are missing for entire episodes and some supporting characters (e.g. The Todd) have barely been seen at all.

P.S. Where's Doug? Has any explaination been given for his disappearance?

P.P.S. re: last episode, great to see Ted get a happy ending!

[the goddamn batman]

I didn't notice the missing cast members during the first few episodes, but it's become more and more apparent to me with each episode.

But, it hasn't taken anything away from the show, per se. And man, Kelso's just been on fire this season. I guess my only real beef, much as I like her, is that Denise has been in every episode, while charcters like The Todd, have barely been seen at all... and characters like Kim simply haven't been seen.

But, if that's the hit I have to take for the last season of the show to actually be good... then so be it.

And I guess moving to Wednesdays at 8 (8, right?) means it's doing well. So, good stuff all around.

Oh, and I don't at all mind Jelliot, because they're handling it very well.

[The Black Guardian]

Here was his post about the "Jelliot" compromise.
Well, he kind of lost me.

I really don't think the "chemistry" argument has a good foundation. The entire main cast has awesome chemistry. JD and Turk are probably the best character duo I've seen on TV in decades. Plus, if you're not going to make the show about that, then chemistry is pretty irrelevant. Lastly, I really don't see the chemistry this season, so...

Frankly, though, I don't care that much, but these characters have done some pretty awful things to each other, and I think them ignoring this makes me like them both less.

[Zero Hunter]

If they can continue to build up the new kids then the show does have a shot at going on without JD. So far I really have liked Denise, Sunny, and Warren. The other blond girl needs some more work.

IF they are going to lose more than just JD then it might bot be a good idea to keep it going.

[DanElHombre]

Bill Lawrence will not be returning either. being the creator and head writer it will be tough for them to go on without him.

[lou-bert vs. q-bert]

I haven't been watching Scrubs since day one; I am relatively new to it through watching many syndicated repeats and some of these new ones and I like it. But I wouldn't see the problem with continuing it without the actors/characters you've mentioned. Writers aren't usually good these days, but I'm sure they can be work around cast changes. It's an ensemble show, and narration can be done away with.

By contrast, Boston Legal had gone through many cast changes, but say it continued, and without Denny Crane? It would've been doomed. A loss of Alan Shore, maybe not doomed, but very shaky ground.

[MNM]

Writers aren't usually good these days, but I'm sure they can be work around cast changes. It's an ensemble show, and narration can be done away with.

Nearly all the main actors are leaving though, and the narration is the main creative device on the show, if you carried it on without the actors and narration, it would be a completely different show.

[the goddamn batman]

It'd be Saved By The Bell The New Cast all over again.

[Zero Hunter]

Anyone else checked out the online Scrubs stuff over at ABC.com? The interns minisodes are actully pretty funny, and the Q&A with the guys who play Ted and Janitor was very good too.

[mgs]

OMG!!! intern sketch show.....HYSTERICAL!!!! :biggrin:

[Caanan]

I checked out the intern webisodes also. They're pretty funny.

I wonder if they're trying to see if a spin off show would work, or is it just a bit of fun?

[the goddamn batman]

I dunno... that's an interesting thought, though.

My only real question is where the hell are new episodes?

[LtMarvel]

It's a weird schedule this year. Instead of having sweeps in Feb and dealing with the planned digital switchover at the same time, the networks agreed to move sweeps to March.

[DanElHombre]

they've also bumped Scrubs a couple extra weeks so that it will be the lead into Better Off Ted.

the Mentalist is also on some crazy schedule.

yes! I can't believe Sunny might make it into the Brain Trust!! LOL!! :biggrin:

[Ilash]

You know what's nuts? Last night's episode featured only Elliot and Turk from the main cast and yet I still thought it was a really solid episode. I've seen funnier Scrubs episodes to be sure but it still had that excellent balance of drama and comedy that makes it such a great show. Man, I'm just loving the hell out of season 8!

[Caanan]

I'm not ashamed to say it. When Scrubs ends, I want an Interns spin-off. :)

It makes sense, right? They have the building all decked out to film! There's barely any set building to do (new apartments, I guess) and they're already introducing a pretty decent well rounded replacement cast.

The fun continues and it keeps the door open for returning roles if need be!

Yeah, I would never have said that about previous groups of interns but I really like these ones. Dianne and Sunny alone make for an awesome pairing and I actually missed them a couple of weeks ago when they weren't in that episode very much.

I believe they're looking at doing that, depending on the ratings for season 8.

[the goddamn batman]

I'd probably end up watching a few episodes to see if it was any good... but, these characters work as secondary characters. That's all they are so far. Which is fine. But for them to suddenly be the stars? Yeah, I don't know about that.

[the goddamn batman]

I just watched the newest episode... I thought it was alright. It sorta felt paint-by-numbers as far as the Scrubs formula is concerned, but it's still better than all of last season put together.

So, there's only 5 episodes left, right? It's an 18 episode season?

[RadicalDarkChild]

Finale tonight!

[mgs]

Watching now!!! :smile:

[RadicalDarkChild]

Superb finale. It didn't feel too "final" though, which is good. That's probably because of all the renewal talks, although it won't be the same show without the same cast.

According to this thread's poll, there are a lot of unhappy people right now! But I'm happy with how things ended. I liked the guest star cameos at the end, Carla/JD, Sunny tricking Dr. Cox, the Janitor's real name, and the behind-the-scenes stuff at the very end.

[SUPERECWFAN1]

From news the Janitor , Dr.Cox , JD , and Turk are all gone next year. The actors who play Turk , Cox and Janitor have new jobs lined up. If ABC renews this its gonna be a hell of a changed show and without Cox to anchor the show...theres no need to keep it going.

[RadicalDarkChild]

Those actors are only gone if their new pilots get picked up.

Brilliant finale. Bringing back all those patients was a nice touch. I cried. And... I laughed til I cried. Especially when JD sneaks up behind Dr Cox during his outpouring of emotion. That was GOLDEN.

If they do a new series I hope it is with completely different people. Maybe keep some of the peripheral characters around, like Ted, or the Todd, etc. to keep a link, but I'd like to see something new because that was a perfect, PERFECT ending.

Sigh.

[RadicalDarkChild]

Well, Zach Braff has said even he'll make random appearances if it comes back for another year.

If you're not under contract you're free to shoot pilots, cameos, movies, etc. Season 8 has been done shooting for months now. Even the show's creator made a pilot.

All they need for a spin-off is Kelso. He carried the show through seasons 5, 6, & 7. :biggrin:

Hooch is crazy.

No, it may or may not have been another lie. The Janitor told JD that his name was Glen Matthews, then when JD left another guy walked past the Janitor and said, "Hey, Tony."

[Shade]

Anyone know the name of that song that was playing as JD walked past all the people in the end?

"Book of Love" by Peter Gabriel

[Caanan]

Anyone know the name of that song that was playing as JD walked past all the people in the end?

It was Colin Hay (who was in the line-up at the end - he was in season 2, episode 1 as the ice cold blue dead guy singing in the morgue) singing The Book of Love, a Magnetic Fields song, I believe.

I don't think it's on any of Colin's albums, though. Him and Zach Braff are good friends, I hear, so he probably did it just for the show.

[stealthwise]

To be honest, I wasn't even aware that the show's finale was on last night until I happened to come across it several minutes in, and even then I didn't realize the significance of it until almost halfway through, but I enjoyed the hell out of every moment of the ending. The Janitor's "reveal," (and no one thinks to mention the whole penny thing? That was classic!), Cox's speech, JD's remembrances, and the entire fantasy sequence at the end had me crying like a baby.

I remember when I first saw Scrubs, the episode I caught fell probably about a month after 9/11, my parents had split that summer, I was stumbling through my first year at university and the world was generally dogshit. And I watched this show that was sweet, funny, uplifting and, well, powerful. It stood out amidst the wreckage of the reality tv craze and gave me something to look forward to, even if only for half an hour once a week, and I followed the show consistently for the next eight years. So seeing this finale was a pretty powerful experience for me, as it seemed to be for many of you, and I'm very happy to have seen it.

Cheers to Lawrence, the cast and crew, and all of you long-time fans who've enjoyed the show as I have.

[MikeVic]

That was an awesome season finale, and I'd like it to be the series finale as well. Kind of hard to go out better than that. This series means quite a bit to me too, as I can always watch an episode if I need cheering up.

I feel certain it was the Peter Gabriel version. It's for sure the Magnetic Fields song, but Gabriel did a cover of it for the "Shall We Dance" soundtrack.

Colin Hay was in a couple of episodes most notable "My Overkill" which prominently features his awesome song "Overkill"

[Caanan]

You're right, Shade. I just watched that bit again (yes, I recorded it so I can watch it and cry over and over ;o) and it does sound like Peter Gabriel. A more growly Peter Gabriel, but still. The way he over-pronounces 'dahncing' made me think it was Colin Hay.

[frankiedetroit]

I first met Scrubs in 2006, was instantly smitten and loaded up on the previous seasons. I loved the finale, especially Dr. Cox's admission. The only thing about it: I wish JD hadn't said anything, that he never let Cox know he knew. But that's a small thing.

I did NOT want JD and Elliot to get back together—but the writers wisely made them like Jim and Pam from The Office—a happy couple—rather than give us a replay of the histrionics of previous seasons.

But dear lord, can anyone imagine the neurotic offspring these two will produce???

[CannonFodder]

What a great ending to a truly exceptional show.

[Samuraixsithlord]

I love how Izzy and Sam got married in the future.

I always had this idea that there would be a show were JD would fantasize about his sons future. Sam would be best friends with Izzy, Izzy would be in love Sam, Sam would be in love with Jennifer (Cox's daughter) and since it was JD's fantasy Sam would hook up with both of them in the end. (Oh and the Janitor would freeze himself in the morgue so he could be thawed out to torture Sam in the future)

[Ilash]

Man, I couldn't agree more with the sentiments that have been expressed - this was a beautiful, perfect ending to one of my favourite shows. My only complaint would be that even at forty minutes long, it flew by.

[Zero Hunter]

Thanks for telling me the name of that song guys. That song just is so good it just hits me right in the heart.

I loved the whole ending and thought it was about perfect. I thought maybe Tara Reid and Brendan Fraiser might have made a cameo in the end line there, but I can understand why they didn't. Other than that they hit about all the major suporting and guest stars pretty well I thought.

Oh and the best line had to be Lonny .....I hate you so much JD. :biggrin:

I read in an interview that Bill Lawrence really wanted Brendan Fraser to return for the finale but he was busy shooting a movie at the time. Definitely a pity though.

It's a good thing they didn't get Brendan Fraser. I was already crying enough! :o)

There were quite a few people who we didn't see. Heather Graham. Michael J Fox. DJ Qualls. Mandy Moore.

It was awesome seeing some of those patients again though. Particularly the ones who passed away on JD's watch. Like the opera singer (that episode is still one of the best), crazy happy suicide girl (didn't they save her?), and the old lady with her regrets list, etc. Awesome.

[Shade]

I knew it wouldn't happening...but I was really hoping somehow Hugh Jackman would show up.

Crazy happy suicide girl was Jill Thompson, who died of rabies in a gut-wrenching episode from season five where Cox uses her organs on three other patients before realizing that she had the disease. All three die and it's harrowing to watch Cox's mental collapse.

And my particular favourite line was "it's like a baguette!" Made me guffaw in between the tears.
