I have a 14 year old who loves scrubs, Brooklyn 99 and the office. Im proud 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?
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.
I’m okay with a generation not instinctively crowd-funding a Zach Braff project.
And that’s why they reboot it
Yep, a built in marketing base of old farts telling young uns how good it is before it even exists.
…Meanwhile a whole class of 12 yr olds today even know what Brooklyn 99 and community is…
Never heard of it until now. I assume this refers to the “2001-2010 American medical comedy-drama” show.
For the record I more or less fit into the late millennial generation.
Yeah that makes sense, the biggest crowd that watched it was probably the Millennials born 1981-1992. By the time I started watching it, I was in high school & it was wrapping up. But some of my cousins were in college when it came out.
What do you define as late millennial? Because as someone born toward the tail end of the millennials I feel like while I didn’t personally watch it on tv I heard about it a ton and then as an adult I did a binge watch of it
I mean born into the mid-90s. I was a child - early teenager when this aired.
They will know now!
The Scrubs reboot is as far away from the OG as the Brady Bunch was from the 90s movie.
A scrub is a guy that can’t get no love
Now I just feel like you’re quoting TLC!?
Do me a favour, don’t go chasing waterfalls.
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.
Reno 911 IMHO is one of the best television shows out there.

I wish I had the fond memories for this show that others do. My sibling wanted to get into medicine and would binge medical shows at home all the time. This was the first one. A few episodes is fine. But having this run 8 hours a day non-stop just made me hate this show. It’s way too formulaic to binge like that.
I don’t think there are many shows I can take more than 4 episodes at one time. I remember visiting my cousin, and when I was leaving we watched Arrested Development until it was time to go to the airport. I found it funny and was enjoying it, but by hour 3 I was done and have never been able to get into it since.
Man, I hope it’s good. Scrubs is my favorite non-scifi show. I want to buy the whole thing on bluray/dvd but right now I can’t find the whole thing. Some people, when you say “Eagle,” think the bird. Some people think “USA”. I think about Turk and JD.
I wish they would do an HD release of the show. NBC only ordered it as an SD show for most of the series, because that was the era of the transition and only some shows were ordered for HD and budgeted to use the HD production equipment. The Director of Photography shot the whole thing on 16mm film, though, and framed everything so there was a 16x9 safe shot in case they ever went back to upgrade it for syndication or home release. “All” it would take is re-scanning the original film into HD and taking the edit list from the original version and applying it to the same timecode.
can’t find dvds
There’s another option.
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.
I get a similar feeling from the office (both versions). Just a feeling of contempt for all the characters and disinterest towards the plot.
I can understand disliking The Office much more readily than I can disliking Scrubs.
