      There are plenty. Severance? Shrinking? Ted Lasso? The Rehearsal? Murderbot? Pokerface? High Potential? The Pitt? Foundation? The Last of Us? The White Lotus? Stick?

      There is absolutely no reason why I can’t want another season of something I enjoy. As long as it isn’t another season with Dave Franco.

        You are proof that people with different opinions can agree on things. I agree about wanting more Scrubs, but baby Franco was probably the best part of that terrible 9th season.

            In film and TV, original means it was not derived from pre-existing source material. Reboots, adaptations, remakes and revivals are not original.

              that’s patently not what “original” means in any industry bc that’s a definition that doesn’t functionally work. all art, from any time or place, is inspired and derived from prior works, and heavily so. there is no such thing as making something entirely “original,” this is a capitalist myth to cut you off from your heritage as a human being. this fetishization of “originality” is peak capitalist brainrot vibes. everything iterates on everything else. this isn’t fucking news, it’s how it’s always been, and if we could stop using state violence to enforce the “ownership” of ideas and IP we could all be free once again. westerners have forgotten what freedom is, what it means.

    That’s honestly surprising. She hasn’t done anything with scrubs since the end of season 8. It honestly seemed like she didn’t like them or something

      She was always billed lowest, and generally de-emphasized in marketing materials despite having the third or fourth most screentime depending on the season (After JD and Cox, and later Turk after season 4).

          Maybe the writers didn’t like her as a character. She was usually the “straight man” to JD and Turk goofing off. There was the love triangle with Cox, but that fizzled and went nowhere. She sort of became best friends with Elliot, but they didn’t seem to have any genuine chemistry or shared interests, so it always seemed forced.

      I dont think it was bad. But it definitely should have been a proper spinoff doing its own thing, rather than just trying to keep Scrubs limping on.

        Yep. As a spinoff it would’ve been fine. As a season of Scrubs, it was terrible.

        With rewatches, I always pause after the eighth season and come back for the ninth as a spinoff.

        It should have been a spinoff series. If I remember correctly, they creator made it a new season so he could keep the staff working during the writer’s strike.

        I did think it was good for what it is.

        It absolutely could have been it’s own great thing. Whenever I rewatch I have to take a big break between the two to try to make it feel as separate as possible

    I was happy about her not being a part of it. She was basically the buzzkill character most of the time. Sure she kept things grounded, but I never watch Scrubs for groundedness.
