    I almost threw my phone across the room when I saw Scrubs on this list, but then I saw that they used season 9 as their basis for the “ending,” which, of course, is preposterous.

      I was committed on seeing the whole scrubs series but when season 8 ended it had such a great closure I just couldn’t make myself to keep watching.

        Season 8 is the last season, you watched all of scrubs and you had the beautiful finale (as even the data shows, it’s amazing and my eyes always wet when I rewatch it).

        There is no season 9. There is a spinoff show, called “scrubs med”, which takes place in a med school and has some of the scrubs characters as teachers but they are there just as supporting characters. Somebody in charge of the show decided that for scrubs med to be successful it had to be branded as scrubs “proper”, so the show was released as scrubs, season 9.

        Obviously it tanked. Too bad, because I think it was a nice show after all.

          Ye, I would have loved a spinoff as well. They underestimated the emotional closure the S8 finale had. That’s the MBA brainrot

      Any idea what the huge season 6 single episode dip was? The musical?

        Looks like it’s “My Night to Remember”, which is a clip show. Which tend to have poor ratings as a concept.

      They absolutely should have just done it as a spin off series instead of tacking it on the end of the actual series.
