'Scrubs' creator says reboot is a 'no-lose' situation: 'I'll deal with the consequences'
No-lose unless you value creativity and original ideas.
Yeah but do those make money?
They probably would if Netflix wasn't so trigger happy with the cancel gun...
Wasn’t there already a shitty scrubs reboot with like a university
Was the "9th" season noone likes talking about , premiered a year after the proper finaly . The plot was that the hospital was torn down and they built a training hospital thir , and the main cast partially came back to act as teachers or some shit , I think we all mostly blocked it out . It ended that season and noone wanted it back. They had a proper ending to the show and then shat all over it , so most fans will say it ended at 8. And fuck was it a good ending.
I seem to be in a minority that liked season 9. It obviously wasn't the same scrubs, and season 8 was a perfect ending, but it wasn't terrible either.
I liked season 9. Not as much as the rest of the show, but it was good. It was just a different show at that point. It should have been a spin-off instead of a new season.
If I remember correctly, this was also around the writer's strike and they wanted to do another season to make sure the people working to produce the show could still make money.
In their defense it was supposed to be a spin off show but the studio forced them to play it as if it was another season. It wasn't bad, not as good as Scrubs but I was entertained.
Agree with everything you said. S8 ended so perfectly. The first episode of s9 was still okay cause it featured JD heavily, but then he is barely in it at all. Zach Braff definitely made the show
Yeah but this is like 20 years on... you can reinvent the character with that kind of gap.
I live quietly in hope on this one.

This maybe? I had never heard of it.
Can you please not destroy every single IP. Just make something called flubs and it will do just as shit.
"No lose" i guess as long as he gets paid? You can bomb your legacy hard
The whole quote is a totally different context than the headline:
A lot of shows I love have had a reboot. This is my attitude: If it’s a show I love, I’m gonna watch it. If it’s great, I’m gonna be super happy. If it’s good, whatever, at least it didn’t offend me. And if it sucks, I’m gonna be super happy to badmouth how much it sucks to my friends. Not on the internet. But that’s how I watch TV. To me, that’s a no-lose. What’s the big deal?
I mean, thats still bombing your legacy but guess it works for him. He will still be paid.
Damn, I liked the show but get sick of seeing Zach Braff and his former bestie in commercials.
No way in hell do I want to try revisiting that. I'd just watch the old show.
He should be in jail for beating the fuck out of that teenager
Just let the shows stay dead!
Ted Lasso was awesome and ended well but to drag it out of retirement for one last encore is never good. There are only two options - Hollywood 'they win the championship' which feels forced or they don't win but learn lessons and we're in the same place as last season.
You can't recreate scrubs. They tried and failed and the same will happen here - bring back the old cast but they are much older now and it doesn't work OR they recast it and everyone says "where are the old characters!?".
To my eyes, scrubs is a coming off age early 20s, first big job, learning life and who-you-are kinda show so it has to be recast but getting that magic a second time will be nearly impossible.
