    The new season looks promising. Let's just hope these kids can sing.

    The transplant is unlikely to produce a dramatic rally. But it does give friends and family a reason to keep visiting.

    The result is a deadly, deal-driven mistake that takes a network that has made great sitcom strides forward one unfortunate step back.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Really, really unnecessary. After the Season finale of Season 8, this season is just an awkward piece on Scrubs' history. Though funny at times and still feels like the Scrubs we know and love, the comedy is more cartoony and forced. The med students are completely uninteresting and sometimes annoying, especially the new main character, Lucy Bennett. Her crazy disposition is not as funny as Elliot's but rather creepy and a must avoid, her day dreams are not as surreal and funny as J.D.'s and she's just right down annoying. The only saving grace on this season is Dr. Cox and the rest of the previous main characters that appear as guests.… Expand

    As someone who has seen every single episode of Scrubs at least 4-5 times, this show comes as a bit of a let down. While there have only been a handful of episodes, the new characters feel very soulless and two dimensional. Lucy is vaguely annoying and unbelievable as the new "voice" of the show. I simply cannot relate to her in any way due to her inability to sell her character's personality. Cole is beyond terrible, with lines that grate on every single one of my nerves. Drew is the only one of the new characters that is even remotely likable. If anything, Drew should be the voice of the show, since he has, by far, the most charisma of the bunch. The old cast serves as an anchoring device to what I loved about the old show, yet they still feel out of place...like ghosts that have yet to move on due to unfinished business. However, I feel like this show has potential. This first season with the new characters may not contain the charm of the very first season of Scrubs, but I have faith in Lawrence and his ability to write great shows (Cougartown not withstanding). If the actors playing Lucy and Cole can grow into their roles instead of trying to play them as the textbook stereotypes that they are right now, I can see this show developing into something great. It just won't be what Scrubs was, and that's ok. It shouldn't be. I don't think it can survive more than one or two seasons if continues to try to be Scrubs 2.0.… Expand

    Was really disappointed and not in the least surprised the show got cancelled after this season. The writing (and comedy payoff) just wasn't there. You could see it not only in the new crew, some of whom weren't too bad, but in the lines from old favourite characters like Turk, Dr Cox and Kelso.… Expand
