Scrubs is back!
I don’t know how many of you watch Scrubs, but it’s one of my favorites. I don’t talk about it as much, what with The Office, 30 Rock and so many others out there, but likely that’s because it always comes on later than other shows.
The best thing about this season for Scrubs is that it’s their last. Now, I don’t mean that because I want it to end, but it’s the fact that they KNOW it’s the last, so we will likely be in store for some of their best writing and stories to date.
Some articles have popped up talking about what we can expect and all of it sounds perfect.
Anyone who enjoyed the Musical episode last year (and it was spectacular), will get a kick out of this season’s big number that USAToday talks about:
“In place of a musical, this season’s extravaganza, directed by Braff, will pay homage to The Princess Bride, centering on a bedtime story Dr. Cox tells his daughter. That means wild costumes for cast members who will play such characters as the village idiot (Braff), a giant (Flynn), a princess (Chalke) and a knight (McGinley).”
Holy crap I can’t wait.
Also the janitor is supposed to get a name and a girlfriend, since Niel Flynn asked for that if it reached a seventh season.
Laverne, who was killed off last year, will actually be back. The funny story there is that since they thought last season might be their final one, they wanted a big emotional event to happen, and they chose to have Laverne die.
But they never wanted to get rid of her, so she’s back, this time as a totally different nurse, but one who looks A LOT like Laverne of course. The big twist is that only J.D. thinks she looks like her.
Classic.
I’ve already seen a preview for tonight’s opener and the scene with Zach Braff is helping a woman give birth and out pops a guy from Men at Work (I think) who sings “I come from a land down under…”
Hahahahaha!
I love this show. They plan to take it down a notch on the crazy comedy this season and get back to their roots…those funny, yet touching scenes that really connected with the viewers. I think that’s the right way to go.
Plenty of answers and loose ends will be tied up over the course of a season, but the article in USAToday says that it wont be a “Ross and Rachel” finish where you are waiting until the final episode to see if J.D. and Elliot get together.
Creator Bill Lawrence had this to say on that stuff:
“We’re going to resolve those things during the year rather than build up to some overwrought, emotional finale. This is a comedy. All people want is a chance to say goodbye and that we tie up loose ends,” Lawrence says, then jokes: “Then we’re going to cut to black really quick and play a Journey song.”
I wouldn’t have it any other way. I’ve really loved this show and it probably wont hit me until it’s gone how much I’ll miss it.
To a great final season!
