Scrubs is a fantastic comedy and the would have ended on a high if My Finale was their last episode. I do not know why Bill Lawrence decided to launch a new season, especially without Neil Flynn and Judy Reyes, not to mention our beloved Zach Braff.

Changing the plot and set is no way to change a television show. The hospital we know and love is gone and now a new medical school.

Lucy cannot lead the show. Sure she's a good actor, but no way is she good enough to replace JD's role.

Season 9 wasn't terrible, it wasn't as good as any other scrubs seasons. i like the new characters, although JD just steals the show completely. i think that for this new series to work, they needed to make it almost a completely new show, but they didn't. Its basically just scrubs without JD, Carla, Elliot, The Janitor and most of the other characters that i loved.
Overall I liked it, but they should definitely has ended it at Seaso8. it had a perfect ending.

I just started watching scrubs .. (season 9) and honestly i find it amazing! it is so what us teens are thinking these days its so relate-able. From day one i fell in love with the show! i didn't and couldn't miss any episodes. Many people love the previous seasons, and from what i have caught up on … from watching the previous seasons i feel like the people my age would prefer watching season 9 narrated by Lucy rather than the previous seasons. I'm not saying that i dislike the other seasons or JD, i just find myself .. as a girl liking when Lucy is narrating.
I hope this show goes on forever (L) ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT!

I feel the whole transition was a mistake and it should have ended at season 8. It's understable to give it a try but i feel that it should have been an entire new cast as the mixture of old and new dosn't work as I felt unable to connect with the new as they have to battle for screen time with the reprising roles.
I also belive that JD should not have appeared in this season, along with the rest of the old cast yet for that point it was clear that this scrubs was never going to work as im sorry if you disagree but it is true….JD is scrubs, the two go hand in hand and with him gone so is the show.

As a huge Scrubs enthusiast, I was very excited when I noticed Scrubs was continuing the story. However I’m ashamed to say that I didn’t watch Scrubs from beginning to end–(I may be getting off track for a moment, but it may serve my point.)
I saw, for the most part, many random episodes for the longest time until it all kind of peiced together for me. Still I’d been waiting until the whole story was complete for me before I watched the final season and the finale. Unfortuneatley I didn’t get to watch the entire ending season of scrubs but I did manage to youtube most, if not all, important scenes of the finale and it absolutely blew me away. (Now to get back on subject)
I do believe that the finale was a perfect place to end the series, but I absolutely want more if it’s being offered. I’ve been keeping up with this new season and I aside from some bumps, I’m thoroughly enjoying it.
I don’t want to spoil anything but some of the bumps were:
1.After a couple of episodes I decided that Cole really shouldn’t be a main character. He truely annoys me to no end.
2. Dr. Cox seems quite a bit less… all-together furious. (However this may simply be the outcome of finding an intern that will follow in his footsteps without asking for a hug every step of the way.)
3. I DO NOT care about Lucy. I honestly would rather Drew or Turk taking over as the narrator. The creators of Scrubs obviously found a character who could almost match J.D.’s personality and naivite as he entered, but she has failed to reach to status of the narrator in the eyes of the audience. Her stories seem unimportant and leave me wanting to know how the other students are doing.
3. Every character seems to have started off in a relationship with little to no explaination. I think if the main characters are going to settle down with eachother, they should bounce around between some other relationships before they do so. (Just as J.D. and Eliot did in the previous seasons.)

Some positive things…
1. Drew was a great addition to the cast. He takes on the position as Dr. Cox’s shadow. What adds for more humor is the fact that Dr. Cox is almost bent on making everyone in the hospital aware that Drew is his “#1″. Still, Cox remains apathetic towards every other “murderer”, as he calls them, that sets foot in the university.
2. Denise (or Joe) has almost replaced J.D. as Turk’s main man at the hospital. It may not sound appealing at first, but Denise has really found her way into my heart in the new season. In fact, were Scrubs not meant to be based on the story of a successful doctor starting at the beginning of their career, Denise would have made an excellent new narrator.
3. It’s exciting to watch Turk take the position that Cox had as mentor to the interns when the first season of Scrubs launched. Not to mention Cox seems to be where Kelso was at the same time. (Hard at work as the cheif of medicine, but still finding plenty of time to torment the interns/students.)
It may sound like the bad outweighs the good but be sure to give the new Scrubs a chance and watch several episodes before placing your ratings. The transition from old the new watch a bit unnatural but I can feel the season improving with each episode. Still, regardless of the bumps, the new season makes me laugh histerically. Hope it satisfies. It has for me.

Just wanted to add my two cents.. I love Scrubs.. I love the old version, and I love this new version. The new characters are enjoyable, and I think that in a sea of terrible shows and lackluster writing, Scrubs 2.0 is a shining light.

PLEASE .. let’s keep this on the air.

It’s important to remember the idea of the show and why we watch hospital comedy. JD and Co were great over the last 8 years but, it is time for them to move on. The characters had developed from Interns into senior doctors, with a small drop of reality here, in most hospitals that means less patient contact and more paperwork. I am not sure that even Scrubs writers can make pen pushing funny.
The show has maintained the comedy aspect gained from the patients and not forgetting the characteristics of the different doctors. Perry, a great character remains himself and that is crucial for the show’s success. Kelso still appears here and there, to drop in some dry, carefree, cold jokes. Turk still struggles with maturing into the expected senior surgeon, and Elliot is around with her self-centred view on life. The only major change is the presence of JD, a great character who provided the backbone to most jokes and story loops, but in honesty I think Lucy is doing a good job. It’s a huge sudden plot change but it can work if the Scrub fans give it time. I remember the first series of Scrubs, it took me two watches before I actually enjoyed it as much as I do now. Soo guys give this one time…its the best thing closest to Scrubs on TV right now.

I love this show I wAtched it from the beginning and have all the seasons. I am ashamed of most of the fans that have written there comments of season 9. Now a days people and networks don’t give shows a chance. You have to look at this like the show ER. They introduced new characters and said goodbye to old ones and yet that show stayed on for 15 years. You why that show lasted so long, because of the fans and the idea of the show and that they rather learn to love the new characters than see the show be cancelled
