Scrubs Season 9 (May contain spoilers)

[TG]

After the beautiful way they ended off Season 8, it looked like Scrubs was finished for good. Unfortunately (or fortunately) the networks renewed it.

The first two episodes of Season 9 are out.

The first episode is titled - Our first day of school - which is breaking the norm of having the titles start with "My..."

Brief summary:

The old Sacred Heart has been torn down, and the hospital has now moved to a new building on a university campus. It is now a teaching hospital.

Scrubs now has a sub-title: [Med School]

It starts off with a brief scene with JD kissing the pregnant belly of Mrs John Dorian, the neurotic Elliot Reed. After this scene, she does not appear in the first or second episodes.
Also missing are Carla (no explanation), the Janitor (brief flashback), and Ted (no explanation).
It starts off normally enough with commentary from JD, but then focus shifts to a new med student. The focus shifts from time to time between her and JD in the first two episodes.

I'm still undecided if I like it. I'm not sure if I'll ever consider this new season as part of the original Scrubs. I'll give it a chance though.

Oh right - I see you added spoiler notes. Oh well. Go JD!

I can't imagine myself enjoying this ... just like I can't see myself enjoying Stargate Universe. When a show purely rides on the name of an original without keeping the core of the show, it might as well be a 40 season soapy.

There are tons of new cool shows out. I'm really enjoying 'V' as well as better off Ted. (Thanks Stinkthumb :hooray:)

I'm also reluctant, but then again, if you look at it as a "Private Practice" to a Grey's anatomy and rate it on seperate scale, then perhaps it might have potential.

However, i still feel scrubs must remain untouched, unfortunately it's one of those series that you either love or hate, and i just loved that show so much, it makes me sad to think that they're no longer around.

the box set looks pretty in my bookcase though. :D

Yep. I completed my box sets the other day with Season 8. :)

Well, technically, i have to wait for 24 December to put my season 8 in the bookcase :D
