Topic: Scrubs (2026)
Scrubs (2026)

Follows JD Dorian and Christopher Turk, who scrub in together for the first time in a long time - medicine has changed, interns have changed, but their bromance has stood the test of time. Characters new and old navigate the waters of Sacred Heart with laughter, heart and some surprises along the way.
SCRUBS Official Trailer (2026) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C0EsHPK-aR4 2 weeks + 2 days to go - let's see if they are able to recreate the magic  Loved this show way back when...must've watched it at least 2 times in its entirety, the earlier seasons probably 4 times. Grew up to the german dubbed version, not sure if I can manage the english original

Re: Scrubs (2026)
the best part of the original show was the entirety of the supporting cast. even the loss of one side character would have severely damaged the show. it was just a synergy that worked together with nothing out of place. right up to the last season which gutted it and while there were stand out actors, as a whole it was a disaster. it was the interaction of the leads with a well thought out ecosystem around them that worked i do not see how there is a chance the 3 main leads have any chance to carry a show on their own. but like all things nostalgic i will watch the first season like a zealot clinging to a dead religion

Re: Scrubs (2026)
Yeah, I'll be looking for the side characters, too, even if it's just a single episode. The Todd - actor hasn't worked since 2015 per IMDB Dr Bob Kelso - actor is still alive, last worked 2019 Janitor (Dr Jan Itor) - very active, may show up for 1 or 2 episodes Jordan Sullivan - very active, I loved this character!

Re: Scrubs (2026)
I truly enjoyed the series. But I will miss Ted. He played his part brilliantly, and he had a superb voice. I will miss him. It will be interesting to see how the crew has aged. But I doubt that it will hit me, he way the original show did.

Re: Scrubs (2026)
Just watched the first 2 episodes. And I was pleasantly surprised. I even caught myself laughing at certain points. If they keep this up, it will make a nice addition. It is a refreshing take on a continuing saga. They usually try too hard and ruin it. But I think this time they found their balance. Give it a shot. ▼Spoiler Dr. Cox really surprised me. He not only looked old, but he was not as snappy and quick as he was on the original. And I fear ep1 will be his only cameo.

Re: Scrubs (2026)
scrubs is back and the first two episodes were very much as good as scrubs in its heyday. now while i think that is fantastic. in its heyday scrubs was very much a show that no one watched. it was pretty much unknown by the majority of people. which would not be very good today. i hope they drop todd, or use him far less. it would be better to bring in more fresh ideas then bring back the mediocrity of some side characters. cameos would be fine, like for hooch , todd, mickhead, etc. but dont bring them back more then for one episode. bring back the best actors(interns) from the last season 9 if possible ( which was not the lead who sadly flopped) i cant remember their names but the guy and girl at the end carried the show and could have held the show if they were the leads.

You mean. The lawyer Theodore "Ted" Buckland, played by actor Sam Lloyd.Sadly Passed in April 30, 2020? Stephanie Gooch (often referred to just as "Gooch"), played by Kate Micucci ? Those 2? Along With Jan Itor? And Todd has been forced to turn it way down, which is funny. Because you know what he wants to say, but is no longer allowed to say, and hooch was there. Anyway looking forward to more episodes.

Zach has a very low fat percentage, Ken didn't. piraterepublic wrote:bring back the best actors(interns) from the last season 9 if possible
This is a continuation of season 8, so no.

Daemons are benevolent or benign nature spirits, beings of the same nature as both mortals and gods, similar to ghosts, chthonic heroes, spirit guides, forces of nature or the gods themselves.

there is little i hate more then media,politicians, or government trying to rewrite history because of their own failures. scrubs season 9 happened. it was not all bad. pretending it did not happen is like pretending overdosing is not a problem if you spend millions saving the same people 3 times a week every week.

i mean the brain trust, some of dorians seasonal love interests. (like dr molly) and there were some other doctors,nurses coxs wife, courtney cox, jake,paul flowers, ( i assume dr kelso has passed), Dr. Kim Briggs and where are their kids??? personally i liked Denise "Jo" Mahoney and Drew Suffin in seaso 9 but hell even bring back lucy as a cameo, she tried darn hard i dont think we will see much or anything of dr cox. but i can hope, even if it looks like they may have that new doc do toned down rants. (personally i found the todd funny twice back in 2004, but the character is a one trick pony and sitcoms have grown out of that style of , well useless time killing fluff) the show has nostalgia going for it, but without a new story, theme or idea it will have to lean into nostalgia hard. as a very very old reference. trapper jhon md only had the name in common with mash, but it stood as a good show for the times all on its own with few references to its past. the other mash spin off even i cannot remember the name and i never think of the plot.... which will this scrubs be????

Re: Scrubs (2026)
First episode was great...gave me all the right feelings of nostalgia. The writing and the characters are all as good as they were back then. ▼Spoiler I guess JD and Elliot splitting was unavoidable for the story, will give plenty of material for rebound and hopefully make up. Weird though that they mentioned Turks kids and not theirs.
I did look to me like though that this is more like a "Last Hurrah" than a real reboot - as if they have planned to make 1-2 seasons and that's it...not sure. piraterepublic wrote:in its heyday scrubs was very much a show that no one watched. it was pretty much unknown by the majority of people.
Really? Here in germany the viewer numbers where quite high to my knowledge. I thought it was the same for the US?

Re: Scrubs (2026)
Someone mentioned Dr Kelso. The actor is alive, but last worked 2019. However, the character may be dead. In one scene at the end, Blake is feeling low. In the background is a sign denoting the Robert Kelso Wing. That's not definitive of a death, but may be so within the show. I'm going to miss Dr Cox.

i started watching around season5 i think. and i started watching after reading an article. "scrubs the best show no one is watching" as i understood it. scrubs was just barely popular enough to keep from getting canceled every year. and in season 7 ( i think, i am a little fuzzy and too lazy to google it) it switched networks( nbc to abc????), then it retooled for season 8 ( interns), then retooled again for season 9 ( teaching hospital,new main cast, lucy then drew-joe) and that killed it.. but it was on life support for every season mostly... which is sad because it was one of the best shows out at the time. ( untill season 9 where lucy and the script could not hold the show, and they pivoted to drew-joe too late to save it)

Re: Scrubs (2026)
I'm enjoying this for 2 reasons: a little nostalgia and a show in which each episode is completely self-contained. 22 minutes of a show which doesn't require me to keep track of a season-long thread such as a mystery or slow-burn romance. That's pretty refreshing these days, at least for me. Anyone else feel the same?

While the first episode was a great re-introduction, episodes 2+3 made me realize how much has changed. It is still a nice-to-watch-show so far but some things are definitely missing. ▼Spoiler - New characters are toned down way too much - and have barely any personality. No one comes close to supporting characters like The Janitor, Bob Kelso, Ted, Doug or Nurse Roberts. - Carla seems to be only a recurring character, and you can feel it in every scene she is in - Not enough out-of-the-hospital scenes. For me this show is supposed to give us a look into "where are these characters now"...but apart from that short scene from Turk/Carla kids there isn't much of that (yet). On another note: That scene in EP03 in the bathroom, as if Elliott doesn't have anyone else - what happened to their child?
Well season is young and there is nothing they can do that would stop me from watching it

Your mention of ep 3: I wasn't aware of that. Do you remember which ep they said that? Wouldn't she say, "ew"?

▼Spoiler JD mentioned his "kids" in the first episode, but it is how many years later?? ( show time). karlas and turks children pretty much disappeared in season 8 and 9, but the show was never about the kids, it was the hospital and staff. i fear this is more a reliving of season 9 then seasons 1-8, but with no stand out kids ( which is what killed season 9 anyways) . it is going to very hard for scrubs to do its usual comady in this day of woke cancellation... unless we get a lot of ( was it car salemen???) white turk,,, E03 was not raising the series, but it did not sink it hard either.... and
▼Spoiler seriously Turk is still apologizing for JD being a giant child who cares more about his hetro life partner then his wife?? what is that 15 or 20 years of blondie never accepting she is always 3rd in JD life...well forth ( turk-job-cox)( his two kids are not even on the list i dont think considering he never asked elliot anything about theirs, or mentioned his kid with the other blondie to anyone and no one asked about them either) Elliot i forgot her name ... its Elliot ..... tv has not made my brain total mush....

Re: Scrubs (2026)
Well, they're sort of incorporating the "new sensitivity" into the humor - The Todd and JD and Cox have all commented on what they can't do anymore. No need to get emotional over it. Did JD have a kid with another woman in the old series? I don't remember. Maybe they're just going to ignore that?

Yes he had a son with Kim Briggs.

the "new sensitivity" would have killed house md, scrubs, friends, and a huge number of other really good shows before they even made a pilot episode. everyone should feel emotional about the loss of free speech at the comedy level. and every other level

I will only say I disagree with some (not all) of your comment. However, there's a thread about this in which you and I have participated, so I'm dropping it here. If you have more to say, please search for the thread.

unlike billion dollar corporate media moguls.... i never search the past for something to resurrect to the present.. its now or never... LOL (honestly there is very little comady in the original series that could be redone today. nothing that drcox ever says, very few JD daydreams, very few jd-turk daydreams, patient mishaps.forget MS cox, and the brain trust, or the janitor for that matter......)

Re: Scrubs (2026)
latest episode was pretty good or at least pretty mush as good any the previous episodes. they did talk about kids a lot more in this episode. but i dont think JD made any references to his child with kim just the child with eliot... so i dont know if they are retconing one of the children(JD and kim's) ( i was reading JD had 3 kids but they are retcon-ing the last child... but i only remember 2 kids kims and last season eliot was pregs.so i just am not sure, rumor is they are retcon-ing only what they dont like and keeping some things) or if JD is a bad dad and has forgotten/abandoned one of his children... (which i can see happening since JD is a man child) ▼Spoiler jd is shown building a bunkbed, but that may mean nothing i honestly get as much entertainment reading the fan theory's as the show itself fun fact. the original shows scared heart was filmed at a hospital in LA the new show is filmed on a set in vancouver bc canada
