I had pretty much forgotten about "Scrubs," ever since I watched what was supposed to be the end of the series last year. It was a satisfying finale, J.D. and Elliot got back together, we got a trip down memory lane of all the wacky doctors and patients and it was funnier than it had been in years. But then ABC throws everyone for a loop and renews "Scrubs" for another season. Mind you, this is all after NBC cancelled "Scrubs" in 2007 then ABC picked up the show for an eighth season. The eighth season was supposed to be the last...most of the cast member's contracts were up and everyone wanted to move on so they wrapped the show. I guess since people were pleased with the last episode ABC decided to raise the show from the dead one last time with a sort of spin-off series, "Scrubs: Med School."

TiVo still had my "Scrubs" season pass in my to do list and recorded the show for me. If not for TiVo, I certainly would have passed over this bastardized version of what used to be one of my favorite shows. Everything is changed. Sacred Heart hospital is now on the campus of a medical school with most of our favorite doctors, Dr. Cox (John C. McGinley), Turk (Donald Faison) and for six episodes, J.D. (Zach Braff) acting as teachers. What's missing? Elliot (Sarah Chalke), Carla (Judy Reyes) and most of all, the Janitor (Neil Flynn) make for the greatest absences.

The show is now focusing on a new group of med school students who I can't even bother to mention because they were such a bore. ABC showed two episodes back to back and I didn't laugh once. "Scrubs: Med School" makes "Saved By The Bell: The College Years" look like comedy gold. ABC made a huge mistake trying to revive "Scrubs." I think the show ended on a high note and that's how they should have left it. In my opinion, TV doesn't get much funnier than the first 5 seasons of "Scrubs." My recommendation is don't bother watching "Scrubs: Med School" on ABC...you're much better off watching the reruns on Comedy Central.
