My favorite scrubs fact is that none of the streaming platforms can get the rights to the indie music Zack Braff shoved into all the final scenes so they replaced them all with generic open source songs which really hurts the quality.

Only for the first four seasons. Rights agreements were different then.
You’ll also find most streaming sites turn the 4:3 into 16:9 by chopping off the top and bottom of the frame.
This is why I have the show on DVD.
Right there with you, after what they did with the season that doesn't exist (season 9, I refuse to acknowledge it) I don't trust them with this property. The whole appeal of the show was JD and Turk's growth, and of course the Cox rants. Also what's the point without Ted.
S9 was fine, it was just a different show
Wrong wrong wrong wrong, wrong wrong wrong wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong.

I have a 14 year old who loves scrubs, Brooklyn 99 and the office. Im proud dad
Hi proud, I’m not your dad.
Now the question is when you’re going to introduce them to 30 Rock. Are they ready for that level of jokes-per-minute? What about Community?

It isn't a reboot it's a sequel
I was like "awesome! It was so funny and would be great to see a modern version of it!" And the I found out that it is a canonical continuation of the story and immediately got disappointed.
Hollywood, listen. When something old was really good and you want to make more money off of it, take the idea that made it good and stop reviving the dead just to be surprised that it sucks.
A new scrubs with a completely different set of people and story with just the key idea there would actually be awesome. Just remember how well the last season was accepted 😒
There was no last season, lalala not listening.
Hollywood constantly tryina cash in on nostalgia porn and it never works
If you’d have read Bill Lawrence’s interview on the subject, you’d know that’s this isn’t about money. And I’d trust the guy who created Ted Lasso and shrinking to do what it takes to make this worth watching.
And I'd trust the guy who created Ted Lasso and Shrinking to do what it takes to make the worth watching.
And Scrubs. The original show itself. He created it. He's not some rando taking over.
But honestly, Bill Lawrence has single-handedly built up the comedydrama side of Apple TV+. Ted Lasso, Shrinking, Bad Monkey... All great shows. And I don't even care about football normally.
I'll take this one with a grain of salt instead of the usual salt mountain. It's still a reboot. But it looks like they're also getting at least some of the other cast members back too. Mostly I'm hoping for Cox and Kelso. Carla and Janitor are apparently semi-confirmed? And I think Jordan is more or less confirmed considering the actress is literally married to Bill Lawrence and actively takes part in his projects.

No, it actually works VERY OFTEN. See: The financial success of the always garbage live action disney remakes.
Sometimes the cash in works, Top Gun for example, and that is why they keep trying, ignoring all the times it doesn't work.

I'm okay with a generation not instinctively crowd-funding a Zach Braff project.
I'm out of the loop. What's up with Zach Braff?
I don’t remember specifics but when Kickstarter was in its infancy Zach Braff had a couple kickstarters for his movies. They weren’t themselves offensive. It’s just that using a crowdfunding platform which, at the time at least, were mostly for people who had zero access to capital when you’re a multimillionaire with Hollywood connections to capital is a bit gauche.
I threw in $100 for a Zach Braff movie. I got to be an extra (they fed us ribs for lunch), 2 t-shirts, then got 2 tickets for a sneak preview with free drinks and popcorn, and a q&a with Zach and Donald Faison...worth every penny, unlike the poor saps that have $1 million to solar freakin roadways.
Genuinely, neat. I wonder how that all financially played out. It was probably mostly a tax deduction. (not that it was bad, but just to point at how the rich have faaaaaar more financial tools to motivate people than those who would ACTUALLY benefit from having access to such things)
During the q&a someone asked about it. His first movie, Garden State basically got bankrolled by some rich dentist that he knew... He said the normal way of financing movies lets a bunch of rich people get to take control of the script, who you cast, what scenes make it in... Basically everything.
He wanted to retain the control he had first time around to make his next movie, so he crowd funded it... And seeing how many movies get made by talented people that end up being garbage because money men think they know everything and fuck it up... Seemed reasonable 😏
I feel the same about companies like Anker's audio branch Soundcore using Kickstarter to prefund/advertise their new tech - safe to say their 'projects' are funded about 20,000%

Scrubs was a special show. Some times woke and some times a product if it's times. Meaning gay jokes cause guys hug. Super fun and then they hit you with that real real. Sorry Dr Kelso is so mean because he needs to keep this big ship running. It doesn't work out good all the time but he tries.
I liked the later seasons when Dr Cox was in charge and when he went through his alcohol problems. I even like the last season. It was different but it was still a good show.
"where do you think we are?"
Probably one of my all time favorites moments in television.

Are they actually rebooting Scrubs again?
"OMG, young people exist!?!?!?"
The Scrubs reboot is as far away from the OG as the Brady Bunch was from the 90s movie.
They will know now!
