    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.

      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?

    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 😒

      Yep, a built in marketing base of old farts telling young uns how good it is before it even exists.

      Brooklyn 99 is very recent though, isn’t it? Is it still on the air?

      It’s not an assumption. Lots of kids your age don’t know about our stuff and that’s fine! The same was true when we were kids.

      A large number of gen x and millennials seems to have grown up to have a “this is how the adults acted when I was a kid, so its only fair for me to shit on kids now”, and its disgusting.

        When people don’t know any better, we’re all very much “monkey see monkey do”.

        A lot of us grew up with examples of the kinds of parents we don’t want to be, not many of us grew up with good examples of the kind of parenting we would like to provide.

          …gen x were abandoned in playgrounds just for predators to take. And two generations before that parents were selling their kids to pay rent.

          Which followed with generations of helicopter parents. So they tried something different.

          I’ve seen kids grow up without being told they’re loved and then turn around and tell their own kids they are loved every day.

          Ppl figure it out by experimenting.

          Point is: if you’re trying, That is the best you can do. There is no manual.

          Yeah, I’m also a millenial who had shitty parents. There’s too many of us who will gladly complain about our parents/teachers/coaches, but then get all pissy when you point out they’re treating gen z like the boomers treated us.

    I know what it is because my mom used to watch it. I thought it looked stupid. She also watched Reno 911 which looked way funnier.

    Much of it doesn’t hold up anymore, so it might be a wise idea. It prolly won’t work, tho.

    Scrubs just isn’t that good. It was ok to have onas background TV while getting baked, but its not the sort of thing you’d rewatch because you loved it so much the first time round. I totally understand why gen z hasn’t heard of it.

      Strongly disagree. Scrubs is one of my two favorite shows. It’s a brilliant example of dramedy. Showrunner Bill Lawrence is a master of the genre.

      But obviously this is a matter of opinion.
