I almost threw my phone across the room when I saw Scrubs on this list, but then I saw that they used season 9 as their basis for the "ending," which, of course, is preposterous.

I was committed on seeing the whole scrubs series but when season 8 ended it had such a great closure I just couldn't make myself to keep watching.

Season 8 is the last season, you watched all of scrubs and you had the beautiful finale (as even the data shows, it’s amazing and my eyes always wet when I rewatch it).

There is no season 9. There is a spinoff show, called “scrubs med”, which takes place in a med school and has some of the scrubs characters as teachers but they are there just as supporting characters. Somebody in charge of the show decided that for scrubs med to be successful it had to be branded as scrubs “proper”, so the show was released as scrubs, season 9.

Obviously it tanked. Too bad, because I think it was a nice show after all.

Ye, I would have loved a spinoff as well. They underestimated the emotional closure the S8 finale had. That's the MBA brainrot

Any idea what the huge season 6 single episode dip was? The musical?

[–] Zorque@lemmy.world 23 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Looks like it's "My Night to Remember", which is a clip show. Which tend to have poor ratings as a concept.

I'd have to agree. Remembering the days when you'd wait a week or two for the new episode on TV just for it to be a compilation of scenes from older episodes...

I remember Stargate being notorious for those. At least one a season.

[–] PoscoBumbleroot@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

I actually thought the musical episode was quite well done as far as musical episodes go.

[–] flames5123@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago

They absolutely should have just done it as a spin off series instead of tacking it on the end of the actual series.
