Music differs from DVD to streaming

Anyone notice some music in the show is different from DVD to streaming?

Specifically remember JD saying “fine I’ll play something that rocks” while walking into sacred heart and It’s a beautiful day (U2) playing. But some other song is playing on streaming version.

Sniffie's Cruising Confessions adverts are the worst

It's just the dirtiest, grimiest advert and they play it before, after, and during almost every episode of the podcast. It's like being thrust into the slime section of porn-hub, conjuring images of bathrooms in highway truck-stop, with some guy with a big nose just sniffing everything up. It's disgusting and I just don't understand why nobody has spoken up about this.

Scrubs is barely PG, and it's a Disney product, but they decide to use an advert that calls upon the listener to indulge on some kind of exotic sexual escapade 4 times an episode, in the most gnawing way possible. We get it Sniffie, you love sex and you're open about it and want everyone to get on board, but I just want to hear some anecdotes about Neal Flynn improvising his lines.

It's not just an image thing either, if you google Sniffie's you almost immediately have to scrub your search history. ,

Is anyone watching the debate (not even remotely political)

Every time Biden says “number 1,” I keep replying to my TV, “hey number 1.”

Season 8 Bloopers

Is it just me, or did the bloopers in season 8 kind of ruin that season?

I felt the show has slipped into unnecessary silliness starting in Season 6 and the bloopers just capped this off for me (I know Season 7 had the writers strike, but I feel the silliness started well before).

I know some folks are really tied to Season 8 (the finale was awesome), but I just couldn't shake that the bloopers felt unnecessary. I wonder if this was required because of the switch to ABC from NBC?

Does anyone else agree? Was there a specific episode that you felt tipped the first domino towards too silly or am I off the mark?

Some of you don't seem to be directing your anger in the right place!

While a great many of you get mad at or pretend the med school series didn't happen as some sort of delusional coping mechanism I don't see enough people mad about Teddy Buckland's post Scrubs future! Those of you who have seen Cougar Town will understand (those who haven't and are intending to do so, stop reading here - spoilers incoming - you've been warned!)

How the hell are you people not outraged that our favourite Legal Custodian (Get It?) got "Hooched and Gooched"? She left him for Hooch?! How does this not outrage more of you?? I mean Hooch is crazy! Teddy got the happy ending he deserved and some other show takes it away from him?? Teddy deserved better!

Rewatched scrubs for the first time in years. Thoughts on sexuality.

I rewatched the show a lot back in the day. As I got older the amount of comfort shows increased so scrubs dropped from rotation. Nothing against the show just dropped off. Currently on med-school and for fairness of the show I’m going to talk about that separately.

This show aged well in so many ways I was shocked. Normally a show you don’t watch for a long time things really start to look bad. Maybe a joke wasn’t really funny or it painted a group in a bad light. Not really much of that.

Let’s talk about sexuality first. Obviously JD and Turk come to mind first. Their love for eachother was very genuine and while people made fun of them for “being gay” it wasn’t because they were it’s because they weren’t. And they didn’t care. They really cared for eachother and no one really thought they were but at the same time wouldn’t have been surprised if they weren’t. Not really any homophobia in the shows

Todd was a pervert and repulsive but that was the point. It’s funny when he talks to Molly he starts to unravel a bit and while still inappropriate it tones down. And when he gets outed you find out he wasn’t not only repressing his sexuality but was actually pansexual, which even in today’s media not really represented well. Nice that he ended up with a cute couple. And the couple he ends up with people remarked on it were super into it.

Harrison and Kelso. An old man who is never ashamed of his son. He talks about him with love and acceptance no matter what.

Kelso and whores. Hey sex is just a thing with him. He likes whores. Though him and Enid was pretty cringey.

All in all the show aged great in terms of acceptance in a way that never pandered nor apologized. Very happy for a show made in 2001.

Finally finished my first ever watch-through. Book of Love. Wow.

I owned the first 6 seasons on DVD and watched the crap out of them back when the show was still running, but I don't think I ever got around to watching Seasons 7 and 8 until just now.

That S8 ending with all the characters in the hallway and the fantasy vision set to Book of Love is just incredible. Definitely made me sad to see the show end even though it was no longer what it once was.

And I'm about to watch Season 9, and saw that JD is in the opening scene which diminishes his farewell somewhat, even if I know he doesn't stick around. I'll keep my expectations for the season low. Wish me luck.

Anyway, I still think my favourite gag of the entire show is this one, with The Todd being the best surgeon because he is in the moment.

I don’t like Elliot

I just didn’t like her or her attitude then to top it off she slept with J.Ds brother right after his freaking dad died, she cheated on Sean with J.D then had the nerve to tell J.D. “don’t forget we are friends” so he wouldn’t tell Sean. She contradicted herself constantly ughhhh

What episode(s) would you watch if you needed a good cry?

The first for me is very obvious. Season 5, Episode 20: My Lunch. Oh my god, that episode breaks me every single time. When patient Jill passes but Dr. Cox feels on top of the world because he is able to donate her organs to his patients in desperate need, only for his world to come crashing down because it turns out she had rabies. How To Save A Life. Heart-wrenching.

The second for me is Season 8, Episode 2: My Last Words. This one makes me cry in a less depressing way. JD & Turk are excited for steak night but end up spending the night with George as he copes with it being the end of his life. I just find this episode so powerfully sad & yet heartwarming in a way. It is a perfect example of who JD & Turk are as doctors & as people, like they would skip a dinner they were looking forward to so that a patient didn't have to die alone. & it's a good reminder that the little things are sometimes the most beautiful - "That beer...tasted great."

I feel like Ted

I have been divorced for 6 months and I am watching scrubs because its a comfort show. But I have realized that I've turned into Ted and I am just hoping that one day I find my Gooch.
