The Scrubs finale was always intended to be the SERIES finale, so it will be a proper goodbye. And I still am not sure what I think about continuing the show with the interns (I do love Denise, but it’s a weird idea).
I knew about the rumour (though thought it was kind of confirmed) that Zach Braff wouldn’t be returning to Scrubs next year, so I wasn’t sure it would continue after this season. I also figured the reason ABC picked up Scrubs was so it could “say a proper goodbye”. I had no idea it was possibly continuing into another season.
Regardless, I really haven’t liked much of this season, or found it funny, so this will be the series finale for me.
The Unusuals is unfolding nicely, more layers to the characters each week, and the ensemble is clicking, keyed by Adam Goldberg. And Framingham’s own Monique Curnen is driving key plot line. Make the time GMMR!
I’ll definitely try, Tom. I just need them to add a few more hours in the day. Maybe I can catch up during the summer TV doldrums (not that those exist as much anymore).
