I was shocked to see that scrubs made the list because the finale (that I remember) was a heater! But then I counted and saw that it was for season 9, so no surprises there (not that I even gave it a fair chance tbf, I’ve just heard it’s mid)
Season 9?
Hmm.
Don't seem to ever recall a season 9.
However, season 8 finished the series off with a banger, and introduced me to a fantastic song in the process.
Personally I'm glad nobody ever did something dumb like try to shoehorn in a spinoff at the end, that would have been a disaster.
Different network, fired/didn't pick up two main actors cause they tried to negotiate more money, basically was just mid plot about growing old and learning to live without a friend. And sprinkle in all the B-list actors they tried to force in for gags that didn't fit the tone. Which is saying something for a series that perfectly slotted in a musical episode without skipping a beat.
Having not seen Scrubs at all, kinda curious - is the musical episode the one from Season 6 on the chart that's sharply more disliked than every other episode in the entire series?
Actually the opposite, My Musical was S6E6, which if you count the dots is one of the highest rated of the season. Looks like the low in season 6 was the Night to Remember, which was literally a clip show of the previous six seasons, which tend to be panned by viewers since it's just rehashing older episodes.
Edit: Other fun fact, the other high point of the season seems to be my long goodbye, where a supporting character goes into a coma and ultimately dies.
Thanks. Added Scrubs to my watch list because of this post and how well its true ending seems to have been received.
It's a ride, definitely would say worth a watch it even if it's dated. Mostly a comedy but as stated above it does do some serious moments, though flanderization of characters does happen over time. Obviously it's not for everyone so if it's not your cup of tea, no offense taken.
Dude! The jump from season 8 to season 9 was so bad, they couldn't even connect the line!
If we're being entirely honest it was a different show entirely, on a different network, that just happened to have a few of the same actors playing mostly the same character. They certainly tried but there wasn't enough there to make anything and they specifically only wanted a single extra season as an experiment to see if the audience would migrate networks. They didn't.
