It used to be that a show really needed to have ratings and word of mouth to stick around for nine seasons. Well Scrubs has word of mouth or used to, but despite being canceled by NBC, and now over on ABC, Bill Lawrence is planning on a ninth season. That really begs the question, do we need nine seasons of Scrubs or really, did we even need six seasons of it? Scrubs is a quality series, the problem is that the quality is perfectly consistent and if you’ve seen one Scrubs episode, you’ve seen just about every Scrubs episode there is. For a show that claims to be more than a sitcom, but as much a drama, every character on Scrubs is a cliche that never changes. Sure they’re well acted and even sometimes well written cliches, but it’s still like watching paper dolls being marched around the screen with the same fantasy asides that got tired in the first season and the same jokes that have been going stale for years now. Sure we’re better off having Season 8 of Scrubs on ABC than George Lopez Show: The Next Generation or more Hope and Faith or Oprah’s The Big Ego project, but maybe there are limits too. Or should be. Will there even be a point to a Season 9 without Braff?
