I miss Laverne and Ted.
I am wondering if they take the time to bring back any of the seasonal characters.
Stephanie Gooch (Ted's girlfriend near the end of the show - played by Kate Micucci)
Weird note about this character:
quote:
In a guest appearance in "Something Good is Coming”, a Season 2 episode of Cougar Town, another series by Scrubs creator Bill Lawrence, Ted said that Gooch had run away with Hooch.
Dr. Molly Clock (Heather Graham)
Jordan Sullivan (Christa Miller)
Dan Dorian (Tom Cavanagh)
Harvey Corman (Richard Kind)

Easily the worst part of the show but I do think the idea is good. There was one bit she did that made me chuckle so hopefully they find her groove
I like the idea of her character a lot; I just hate the actress. The only thing I found amusing from her was the angle that she talks with her hands and uses hand motions a lot. But again, it's the actress I can't stand. It's definitely a "me" thing.

Easily the second worst part of the show but luckily they were used sparingly. And yeah, the gay shite is annoying. Though I think the Asian guy is bi since he slept with both the guy and girl in the couple and broke them up.
I added to my original post earlier...I definitely am glad the Asian doc told us he fricked both the girl and the guy in that couple. That was definitely necessary information that was needed in a show like Scrubs. I think that was the worst part of both episodes for me. It was just so unnecessary and shoehorned in there for no reason (well, except that we know the reason). For me, it completely undermined what I think could be a good character and villain for JD. He went from really smart Stanford doctor who is hella qualified for JD's job to "yeah, I fricked them both" bisexual troublemaker. Maybe it's just me, but it took a lot away from the character for me.
Another thing that I really liked was the last line of E1, where JD is sitting there and muses to himself "I can't do this all on my own." That was an awesome throwback to the theme song of the show (and one of the themes of the series overall). That was great.
quote:
The first episode really suffered from this and the second ep was better, imo. So hopefully you’re right. Two mediocre Scrubs episodes but undoubtedly Scrubs and not some other bullshite.
I agree with that. They weren't great, but they were really solid, which was more than I was expecting. I was expecting them to struggle more than they did. Like you said, by E2 they had already sort of settled in a bit. I was expecting it to take longer than that. If the show keeps slightly increasing in quality as the season unfolds, this should be a great show.

I imagine they will being back literally as many side characters as they possibly can. It kinda feels like the success of a show like Cobra Kai made a revival of something like Scrubs possible. People loved that show, and it did a great job of acknowledging what it did best originally, and leaning into that a lot, all while mixing in as many characters as possible. If you treat it like that and go into it with a solid plan, you can mix new stuff with classic nostalgia and make it work. And Bill Lawrence should be able to swing that pretty easily.

The HR chick from SNL is absolutely awful. Like "makes me want to not watch the show" awful. I don't even know why, she just is. And I even like the idea of an HR person trying to keep Cox in line. I think I just hate her face or something like that. But she made me want to punch my TV.
This character should have been a reinvention of Ted...a semi-incompetent, flustered and stressed out person attempting to do an impossible job. Instead, they made the character powerful and potentially negatively impacted the culture in the hospital. If the HR director was running around attempting to put out fires that Cox and others were lighting, with no real ability to implement today's woke, politically correct HR world, that would have been a better idea, IMO. You'd have the Cox angle, gay jokes (charge nurses and Park) , women jokes, new generation (TikTok Doc, British guy who is soft) jokes, racial jokes, with the humor of a "Ted" having to deal with all of that.
Plus, I agree the actor isn't likable.

I actually like the dynamic of JD and Elliott being divorced, and that should make for some easy jokes. I wonder if they had kids (I don't think any were referenced last night).
I think in opening dialogue he said his job gave him more time with his kids.
quote:
I did hate the two charge nurse people. It also sort of stood out to me how they were pushing gay shite (with the charge nurse and also the Asian doc - I was really glad to know that he fricked both the girl and the guy in that couple...that was necessary information).
To me this is about execution. If there are as many jokes in a "negative" way about them being gay as there are in a "positive" way about the others who are not gay, it will be fine. Modern family did this well. If it's all one direction, and it's just a display of gayness that has no comedic value from the situation, I agree those characters and actors won't add anything.
Overall, I was looking forward to watching it and I'm looking forward to watching the next episodes.

In E1, JD mentioned being a concierge doctor allowed him to spend more time with his kids (plural).
So, aside from Sam Perry Gilligan Dorian, I guess he had at least one child with someone else?

After thinking more about the first two episodes, I wonder how the show will balance personalities without Cox and Kelso being the grumpy curmudgeons.
I don't think the HR lady and Dr. Park can fill those roles to balance out the personalities.

I think a charitable reading of why they put it in there is to demonstrate that this guy is a sociopath and will do whatever the hell he wants to get where he wants.
But it was more likely thought of as a funny bit that plays to the liberal hearts of literally every actor on the show and the showrunner himself.

Lawyer Ted passed away years ago. Not same without him.

Oh I agree with that. There are just lots of other ways to show that if that’s your goal. Which ultimately that wasn’t their goal IMO.
And I must’ve missed the tidbit about JD’s kids in the opening monologue. But that makes sense.

I have no idea if season 9 is canon or not, but JD and Elliot were expecting before they left midway through the season.

You mirror alot of my thoughts.
Be prepared, it means you are not a fan, and are trying to destroy the show.
ETA: somehow it makes you a woke PC liberal, and also MAGA, because of course it does.

As much as we all want to forget that Season 9 happened (
), it is apparently canon. EDIT: According to Bill Lawrence, it's not canon, it's just an "Elseworlds" or "what if" scenario. This article from Deadline says JD and Elliot have 2 kids: ‘Scrubs’ Revival: Who’s Back (& Who’s Not); How Many Episodes Judy Reyes, John C. McGinley Are In; How Many Kids J.D. & Elliot, Turk & Carla Have Now

Watched it last night.
I like how the dynamic between cox and JD changes like how Kelso/Cox did when he left.
Because lets face it, as funny as some of the back and forth between them was it has been done to death.

We did it boys. Scrubs is the number 1 streaming show on HULU and its a 97% popcorn meter on Rotten Tomatoes. 
It's a certified hit.

Except for the part where Sacred Heart was torn down and a med school was built in its place, which was like JD's second line in the whole season

Well, shite, maybe the new hospital/med school burned down and they rebuilt an exact replica of Sacred Heart
But in reading some interviews with the cast, it seems like they're taking the position that Season 9 is not canon. Bill Lawrence also said Season 9 is an "Elseworlds" or "what if" scenario.
I guess they could have some fun with that if people from Season 9 make cameos.
