December 6th 2024.
Could it be true? After 14 long years, is our beloved show Scrubs finally making a comeback to our screens? Fans have been buzzing with excitement as it seems that a reboot is in the works.
For those who may not remember, Scrubs was a popular medical sitcom that first aired in 2001. The show revolved around the lives of the staff at Sacred Heart Memorial Hospital and was known for its hilarious slapstick humor and surreal jokes. At its peak, the show drew in a whopping 15 million viewers and featured stars like Zach Braff, Brendan Fraser, Sarah Chalke, and Dave Franco, along with various celebrity guest appearances.
Even after its original run, Scrubs maintained a devoted following, with fans eagerly awaiting any news of a revival. And now, it seems that their prayers have been answered. Variety has revealed that the show's creator, Bill Lawrence, is already working on new episodes for the beloved comedy set in Sacred Heart.
The show, which originally aired for nine seasons between 2001 and 2010, was first produced by NBC before moving to ABC for its final two seasons. Recently, ABC was acquired by 20th Century TV, a subsidiary of Disney, and Lawrence is currently developing the reboot for this network. However, sources have revealed that he may not be the showrunner if the series goes into full production.
As of now, there is no confirmed cast or network for the reboot, but it is definitely in the works. It seems like it's only a matter of time before we see our favorite characters back on our screens once again. And we couldn't be more excited.
Fans have been eagerly waiting for a Scrubs comeback ever since the show aired its final episode over 10 years ago. And in 2022, Donald Faison, who played Dr. Chris Turk on the show, gave them a glimmer of hope during a panel at the ATX TV Festival. 'We all would love to work together again,' he said, talking about the possibility of a reboot.
However, Faison did mention that there might be some challenges to overcome before the cast can reunite for new episodes. With everyone busy with their own projects, it may be difficult to schedule a full season of the show. But perhaps a movie or a limited series could work. After all, where there's a will, there's a way.
Not only was Scrubs a hit with viewers, but it also received critical acclaim throughout its run. In fact, some of its episodes are still considered among the best sitcom episodes of all time. One such episode is the 14th episode of season three, titled 'My First Screw Up,' which featured Brendan Fraser's final appearance on the show. The episode is known for its heartbreaking twist involving Fraser's character, Braff's character JD, and John C. McGinley's Dr. Cox.
However, the show's ninth and final season received mixed reactions from fans and critics alike. Some felt that the changes made to the main characters in the last few episodes were not well-received, resulting in lower ratings compared to earlier seasons. But overall, the show still holds a high rating on Rotten Tomatoes, with the first eight seasons averaging above 90%, while the ninth season drops down to 53%.
For those who want to relive the magic of Scrubs, you can now watch all the episodes on Disney Plus. And if you have any celebrity news or stories to share, you can always reach out to our entertainment team via email, phone, or by visiting our Submit Stuff page. We would love to hear from you!
