    Came here to say something similar. I always have mixed feelings on Scrubs for similar reasons to you. I genuinely can’t go back and rewatch most episodes because they are incredibly dated or insensitive in many respects. The good parts are still good, the great parts are still great, but the bad parts feel really bad IMO, and it really kills a lot of rewatch potential for me, despite having loved watching seasons 1-5 when it was originally airing. It was one of my favorite shows for years.

    I can definitely watch older stuff and understand it’s a product of its time, but Scrubs in particular has me cringing by 5 minutes into the episode; I can’t get through the rest of the episode most of the time. I end up skipping around to watch the scenes I know I like. I ain’t got time to sit around watchin’ The Todd harass people or Kelso make his usual “wife bad” jokes.

    What a soundtrack, though. One of the better soundtracks of any show I’ve watched.
