    It may be the result of the show's cancellation and it may be the lowest rated season, but it doesn't mean it's entirely bad.

This is the show trying to do something different, revamping the show with new cast members, a bold move rarely seen in successful shows and it should at least be applauded for making that effort alone. But the result is sometimes stale, the concept of setting the show in a medical school is missing the shows' trademark humor, like J.D. and his fantasy sequences, but it does, however, give the show a nice, fresh look. The new characters could be funny, that's how all shows start, but there's not enough character development, compare to previous seasons, to root for the shows' new lead, Lucy Bennett. The new cast tries their best but ultimately, it's the original cast, Dr. Cox and Turk, who holds the show together. It's missing the humor of the original cast and the show has lost it's touch but even though season 9 is lacking, it's still a pretty good one.… Expand

    As someone who has seen every single episode of Scrubs at least 4-5 times, this show comes as a bit of a let down.

While there have only been a handful of episodes, the new characters feel very soulless and two dimensional. Lucy is vaguely annoying and unbelievable as the new "voice" of the show. I simply cannot relate to her in any way due to her inability to sell her character's personality. Cole is beyond terrible, with lines that grate on every single one of my nerves. Drew is the only one of the new characters that is even remotely likable. If anything, Drew should be the voice of the show, since he has, by far, the most charisma of the bunch. The old cast serves as an anchoring device to what I loved about the old show, yet they still feel out of place...like ghosts that have yet to move on due to unfinished business. However, I feel like this show has potential. This first season with the new characters may not contain the charm of the very first season of Scrubs, but I have faith in Lawrence and his ability to write great shows (Cougartown not withstanding). If the actors playing Lucy and Cole can grow into their roles instead of trying to play them as the textbook stereotypes that they are right now, I can see this show developing into something great. It just won't be what Scrubs was, and that's ok. It shouldn't be. I don't think it can survive more than one or two seasons if continues to try to be Scrubs 2.0.… Expand

    There are some things I like about the new season of Scrubs: the new location, the return of Eliza Coupe's character Denise, the addition of Michael Mosley as Drew. However, the show has thus far been underwhelming. Partly because new characters Lucy and Cole are unlikeable, but mostly because this has all been done before.

    The metascore is pretty accurate. This season is sadly a VERY dull and lack luster version of the show. The JD character no longer has the appeal it once had with it now border-lining pathetic. For instance, the whole #1 thing has JD whine and moan about not getting it and such and be pointlessly jealous of someone who doesn't want the spot...that sounds funny on paper but it comes The metascore is pretty accurate.

For instance, the whole #1 thing has JD whine and moan about not getting it and such and be pointlessly jealous of someone who doesn't want the spot...that sounds funny on paper but it comes across as simply sad. The "new class" of doctors are also a bit one dimensional...rebel (with a cause), gullible hot girl, egotistical tool, hot foreign girl who has to overcome her beauty to be taken serious (reminiscent of some episodes where Elliot did the same thing). The removal of Carla and Janitor is unfortunate and also loses very important dynamics to the show. Overall the show is still somewhat funny but at times comes across as VERY dull and it truly is a shame that ABC execs are so stupid to end a show and then want it back with just enough time for some cast members to not be available...way to go.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Really, really unnecessary. After the Season finale of Season 8, this season is just an awkward piece on Scrubs' history. Though funny at times and still feels like the Scrubs we know and love, the comedy is more cartoony and forced. The med students are completely uninteresting and sometimes annoying, especially the new main character, Lucy Bennett. Her crazy disposition is not as funny as Elliot's but rather creepy and a must avoid, her day dreams are not as surreal and funny as J.D.'s and she's just right down annoying. The only saving grace on this season is Dr. Cox and the rest of the previous main characters that appear as guests.… Expand

    More of a spin-off, I've often heard this referred to as Scrubs: Interns, than a new season this features very little of the show’s original cast and instead focuses on a new group of medical interns (indeed even JD is replaced as Lucy as the narrator). There is the odd glimpse of the old Scrubs magic, particularly in the first few episodes, but overall it is a bit of a disappointment andMore of a spin-off, I've often heard this referred to as Scrubs: Interns, than a new season this features very little of the show’s original cast and instead focuses on a new group of medical interns (indeed even JD is replaced as Lucy as the narrator).

    Худший сезон.
    Смешные шутки есть, но от этого сезона не получить и 1/4 эмоций, которые можно получить от любого другого.
    Если 8 сезон имел просто замечательную концовку, то тут она никакая. Это не ужас, но и не уровень прошлых сезонов. Лучше не портите впечатления, не смотрите.    Худший сезон.

    My god who cast Lucy Bennett. Some of the newbies hold their own but making that girl the lead med student was a shocker. Thankfully the old cast keep it afloat. It's worth the watch as there's some proper scrubs-esque moments and over all it's better than i thought it was gonna be... but still.... lucy bennett?????

    The new season looks promising. Let's just hope these kids can sing.

    It works because the three regulars--Zach Braff, Donald Faison and especially John McGinley--are all over these episodes, and the four newcomers are kept in their place.

    It's a solid little comedy, in which Scrubs fans can recognize the spirit of the show they loved, even if it's not Scrubs at its best.
