mind the walrus posted:

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."

Hm story checks out

The first season was extremely realistic for its time
