Scrubs could have decent episodes but when it was bad it was embarrassing. Also loving lol at any hospital where CNAs and the myriad of technicians don't exist because paying for all the extras is expensive.

Can anyone who watched the last season on ABC confirm/deny whether it gave satisfying endings to the arcs of these beloved characters?

The last season was a decent return-to-form for the show, honestly. Not great but they did put out an excellent finale.

The Medical School spin-offs is atrocious at first but gets good p. much the instant Zach Braff's character leaves, but since he sticks around the entire first half of the season no one but idiots like me in TVIV back in 09 found out.

scrubs started p good but it turned into a lovely cartoon about halfway through its 200-season run

however this drop in quality was successfully counteracted by Dr. Cox, Dr. Kelso, Elliot, the Janitor and many p awesome guest stars

The medschool season was so bad but I wanted it to live because I liked the michael mosely character 'drew' and the whatever franco guy's character and Dr. Cox

However it was destroyed in a lovely manner by the shittiness of everything else esp. the skinny girl main character and Eliza Coupe and Dr. Kelso

The lesson is that good things can be wrecked by lovely things and also that if your show makes it five seasons you should have your main character ritually raped and sacrificed so you can start from scratch and recapture the vigor and vision of the creative act

The medical school show was ruined by the fact that like half of the jokes by the end of the regular show were "JD IS LIKE A GIRL AND POSSIBLY GAY" and then they tried to transfer his jokes onto the skinny girl in the medical school show and forgot that "a girl does girly things" isn't a good premise for jokes.

the seasons with elizabeth banks were pretty terrible, also the season where they had med students instead of the main cast.

the rest of the show was between mediocre (everything about turk and carla's stereotypical sitcom wedding) and good (the episodes with brendan fraser)

I did like how they quickly ran out of poo poo for Turk to do so they gave him diabetes and it impacted the show like, once after that.

janitor became lovely when they started doing poo poo like giving him a light blue uniform, carla was lovely all the way thru, jd was kinda likeable at first, but then he became too whiny about everything, cox was gr8 up until they gave him a kid, turk was alright i guess until he got married, and loving elliot is like the peggy hill of this show

I put it in an ancient TVIV thread but the breakdown is simple:

Season 1-3: Worth watching if you watch any of the show at all.

Season 4-5: The "good" wacky years. poo poo starts to get really cartoony but everyone is also kind-of liberated by it so there's still some good stuff. Season 5 in particular has some nice stuff.

Season 6-7: the "bad" wacky years. Even if the writer's strike hadn't crippled them there was clear creative fatigue and this more than anywhere is where JD firmly mutates into a grotesque abomination of his former self. And Private Dancer wastes a loving ton of our time. Seriously. gently caress Private Dancer.

Season 8: A weird return to form for the most part and a solid close-out to the series.

Season 9: The first half bites, but the second half shows the outline of a potentially good show completely worthy of succeeding Scrubs, but the damage had been done and it wasn't coming back. Also the girl who plays annoying JD-substitute Lucy is super hot and continues to be super hot in the AMC show "Halt and Catch Fire."

The janitor was in a light blue uniform for six minutes of one episode, and Dr. Cox's kid punched him in the balls and it was hilarious

Scrubs is a good show you can just throw on and watch and chances are it is a decent episode. The first 5 or so seasons are really watchable and pretty funny for the most part. I like scrubs

Have you read my marxist critique of the show in TVIV? It has a strong focus on the subjugated Janitor and how his efforts to better his social standing are foiled by the status quo.
