Paige Wiser

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

Verne Gay

A ninth season. Wow. In fact, a change of scenery has done Scrubs a world of good. The new students are funny. McGinley is great as always--so, too, is Turk (Donald Faison). Read full review

Alan Sepinwall

It's a solid little comedy, in which Scrubs fans can recognize the spirit of the show they loved, even if it's not Scrubs at its best. Read full review

Matthew Gilbert

At this point, Scrubs has turned its original style into a formula; the fantasy sequences are more predictable, the earnest denouements are automatic. It’s a good formula, but one that’s no longer vibrant. Read full review

Rob Owen

It's not terrifically awful, but it's also not as reliably fun as Scrubs was in its prime. Read full review

Mike Hale

The jokes don’t catch fire in Tuesday night’s opener, but by the second episode things are starting to click. Read full review

Robert Bianco

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

The final season of Scrubs wasn't even really Scrubs at all, not that it's a bad thing. I looked at this show as more of a spin-off, and maybe if it had be advertised that way, it would have had more success. I enjoyed it as if it was something different and unexpected.

Considering the task at hand, they did a very admirable job. My only concern is where they'll take the show once JD leaves.

This new show isn't the same old Scrubs, but it shows a lot of promise. You just have to look at it as a different show than the original Scrubs, as Bill Laurence suggested. And even the best shows have terrible first seasons, sometimes. I'll keep watching, and hopefully it will This new show isn't the same old Scrubs, but it shows a lot of promise.

The metascore is pretty accurate. This season is sadly a VERY dull and lack luster version of the show. The JD character no longer has the appeal it once had with it now border-lining pathetic.

The JD character no longer has the appeal it once had with it now border-lining pathetic. For instance, the whole #1 thing has JD whine and moan about not getting it and such and be pointlessly jealous of someone who doesn't want the spot...that sounds funny on paper but it comes across as simply sad. The "new class" of doctors are also a bit one dimensional...rebel (with a cause), gullible hot girl, egotistical tool, hot foreign girl who has to overcome her beauty to be taken serious (reminiscent of some episodes where Elliot did the same thing). The removal of Carla and Janitor is unfortunate and also loses very important dynamics to the show. Overall the show is still somewhat funny but at times comes across as VERY dull and it truly is a shame that ABC execs are so stupid to end a show and then want it back with just enough time for some cast members to not be available...way to go.… Expand

There are some things I like about the new season of Scrubs: the new location, the return of Eliza Coupe's character Denise, the addition of Michael Mosley as Drew. However, the show has thus far been underwhelming. Partly because new characters Lucy and Cole are unlikeable, but mostly There are some things I like about the new season of Scrubs: the new location, the return of Eliza Coupe's character Denise, the addition of Michael Mosley as Drew.

How do I begin. I loved Scrubs. Watch an episode from season 1 and you will laugh just as much as a more developed episode 6 seasons later. The characters are neurotic and while the situations are ridiculous the neurosis, reality, and lack of tv plastic looks make Scrubs so likeable. Now How do I begin. I loved Scrubs. Watch an episode from season 1 and you will laugh just as much as a more developed episode 6 seasons later. The characters are neurotic and while the situations are ridiculous the neurosis, reality, and lack of tv plastic looks make Scrubs so likeable. Now Season 9. These interns are ridiculous. It's as if they went to a stable of pretty boring actors in LA and picked the WORST most plastic pretty young actors around. The show has become a glossed over pretty plastic hollywood version of the once quirky thriving show. It's as if these overly primped kids are trying to "play" neurotic but it just isn't believable. That mixed with the new shooting location just deflates the spirit out of the show. The new location again glosses over what the old show was. The new set is pristine, perfect, glossy, and in a nutshell--completely unrealistic. As Bill Lawrence said this is NOT the same Scrubs it is an entirely new show. Yet, the point is that even as a stand alone show it is not worth the paper it is written on.… Expand
