Scrubs fans, I just saw that the new season will be back on Jan 6th.

Just FYI!

And how appropriate that the ad at the bottom of the page is for Scrubs ringtones!

Yay for new Scrubses!

I’ve not watched for the past two years, save a few episodes here and there, and I thought the season finale last year was one of the worst episodes I’ve ever seen. I’ll turn in on the 6th to see if the new network has made it any better.

I agree that the show went subterranean last season. Some passable episodes sandwiched between many truly shameful parodies of what it used to be. I’ll watch this season if only because it was confirmed that it was the last one, and I’m a die hard J.D./Eliot 'shipper who needs my last dose of warm fuzzies.

I love this show as much as anyone, but I think they jumped the shark when JD got Kim pregnant.

Yeah but JD’s explanation about how Kim got pregnant was hilarious.

The last good episode was Kelso’s retirement. Courteney Cox is joining the cast as his replacement. I am not sure I like that idea.
