Additionally,watching Sacred Heart get knocked down in the season 8 finale would have been incredibly symbolic.
Even if it happened offscreen, it would have been an incredibly emotional affair.
However, a season 8 demolition finale would have meant everyone got a proper farewell.
That being said, the hospital getting torn down would have allowed it.
They’re all teary-eyed and turn to each other for comfort but know they have a family for life.
It’s a shame it couldn’t happen.
While the originalScrubshospital has since been demolished in the real world, it didn’t happen in 2011.
WithScrubsseason 8 concluding in 2009, the building was still standing and would be for a while.
In fact, the facility wasn’t destroyed until a year after the sitcom’s cancelation in 2010.
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.
For this style of finale to work, there would really need to be authentic demolition footage.
Otherwise, the remaining options wouldn’t have been as good.
It could have happened offscreen, possibly augmented by stock footage or clips of other buildings being knocked down.
As such, it’s perhaps understandable whyScrubsseason 8 ended how it did.
