In recent years, Bill Lawrence has been hard at work making shows for Apple TV+.
On paper, it seems like a solid idea after so long off the air.
Unfortunately, the show’s maligned final season already followed his formula, and it crashed and burned.
This was compounded by the absence or reduced roles of key cast members fromScrubsseasons 1-8.
Lawrence doesn’t appear to have learned from these errors.
Theres no cliche rich doctors playing golf thats not what it is anymore.
At the same time, a new batch of interns made their way into the cast.
Despite the fresh characters having relatively prominent roles, they never overshadowed their more experienced colleagues.
Lawrence would do well to repeat this trick inScrubsseason 10.
Scrubs is a Sitcom and Medical Comedy/Drama created by Bill Lawrence that follows a group of medical students throughout their daily lives at the Sacred Heart Teaching Hospital. The series stars Zach Braff, Sarah Chalke, and Donald Faison, as they work their way up from Medical Interns while juggling all sorts of hospital shenanigans.
Scrubsseason 9’s highest-rated episode has anIMDbrating of 6.5/10, whereasScrubsseason 8’s lowest-rated episode scored 7.5/10.
Ultimately,the showrunner has decided that bringingScrubsback in its original format is a better idea.
Arguably, the alternative was superior.
