Scrubs Season 8
I haven’t watched one Heroes episode yet (I have them all). I decided to stick to watching 24 on DVD. I’ve missed a few episodes of Family Guy and The Office. But I haven’t missed an episode of Scrubs.
Season 8 has been a great rebound from a lackluster an strike shortened season 7. The show makes sense again, each episode touches on that emotional nerve earlier seasons were known for, and it’s just plain funny. The move to ABC does show at times as the hospital building is less utilized and some characters don’t appear in some episodes (I think JD hasn’t been in two) but the show is hitting on all cylinders. Even the interns that they’re currently pushing on YouTube and heavily on the show work very well.
The interns work so well in fact that even with most of the main cast leaving at season’s end (Braff, Faison, Reyes) and hints of another doctor leaving Sacred Heart, I think Scrubs could even last for a season with the new interns and old favorites like the Janitor, Cox, Kelso, and Ted. But ABC (or the fans) probably won’t go for it.
So while ABC and Bill Lawrence decide my favorite TV show’s ultimate fate, I’ll just savor every moment of season 8 and envision the day when I get all my Scrubs DVDs back so I can get my marathon on again.
