I have a 14 year old who loves scrubs, Brooklyn 99 and the office. Im proud dad
Hi proud, I’m not your dad.
…Meanwhile a whole class of 12 yr olds today even know what Brooklyn 99 and community is…
Scrubs just isn’t that good. It was ok to have onas background TV while getting baked, but its not the sort of thing you’d rewatch because you loved it so much the first time round. I totally understand why gen z hasn’t heard of it.
I was like “awesome! It was so funny and would be great to see a modern version of it!” And the I found out that it is a canonical continuation of the story and immediately got disappointed.
Hollywood, listen. When something old was really good and you want to make more money off of it, take the idea that made it good and stop reviving the dead just to be surprised that it sucks.
A new scrubs with a completely different set of people and story with just the key idea there would actually be awesome. Just remember how well the last season was accepted 😒
There was no last season, lalala not listening.
The first couple seasons were nice (Why old people assume we, gen z won’t know about shows, like now they gonna assume don’t have ever watched Dr House???)
It’s not an assumption. Lots of kids your age don’t know about our stuff and that’s fine! The same was true when we were kids.
A large number of gen x and millennials seems to have grown up to have a “this is how the adults acted when I was a kid, so its only fair for me to shit on kids now”, and its disgusting.
When people don’t know any better, we’re all very much “monkey see monkey do”.
A lot of us grew up with examples of the kinds of parents we don’t want to be, not many of us grew up with good examples of the kind of parenting we would like to provide.
…gen x were abandoned in playgrounds just for predators to take. And two generations before that parents were selling their kids to pay rent.
Which followed with generations of helicopter parents. So they tried something different.
I’ve seen kids grow up without being told they’re loved and then turn around and tell their own kids they are loved every day.
Ppl figure it out by experimenting.
Point is: if you’re trying, That is the best you can do. There is no manual.
Yeah, I’m also a millenial who had shitty parents. There’s too many of us who will gladly complain about our parents/teachers/coaches, but then get all pissy when you point out they’re treating gen z like the boomers treated us.
Who has 2 thumbs and doesnt give a crap? This Gen Z boy :3
“OMG, young people exist!?!?!?”
Nah, it’s all fakenews, nobody was born after 1999.
is always funny to read the copium that people that were born in the XX century come with.
And that’s why they reboot it
Yep, a built in marketing base of old farts telling young uns how good it is before it even exists.
I’m with the girl on this one. I barely remember that show. I hate shows like that. I didn’t like St elsewhere. When it was on I was always elsewhere.
TV shows I never watch are anything glorifying the health care industry.
I got a different impression from Scrubs. To me it was a show mostly about doctors, and whenever it did talk about the healthcare industry, it was largely critical. It’s been a while since I’ve seen it, but I remember they would frequently criticize the bullshit and red tape in the healthcare industry. I think there’s even an episode in the first season where they commit insurance fraud to save a poor patient.
Yeah, all that is true. I have no idea what the person you replied to is trying to say about it. It’s not even a little bit ambiguous with Scrubs.
I have a family working in health care, and they will bury you for money.
Yeah doctors largely want to help people… Scrubs did a great job of portraying the human side of doctors and how they get squeezed in the middle of wanting to provide the best care and the healthcare industry’s desire to profit at all costs.
I think the insurance fraud episode is way later as the hospital director is played by Monica from friends. But maybe they did that twice and I just forgot?
IIRC it was very early on - JD noticed a surgery scheduled for an empty bed and corrected it. Proud of himself he let Kelso know, only to find out later that Cox did it on purpose.
Oh I’m thinking of the woman who didn’t have insurance but her dad did, so he pretended to have the same disease so he could hand her the medication she needed.
Ha I forgot about that one!
Right there with you, after what they did with the season that doesn’t exist (season 9, I refuse to acknowledge it) I don’t trust them with this property. The whole appeal of the show was JD and Turk’s growth, and of course the Cox rants. Also what’s the point without Ted.
Scrapping Ted would be the best decision they could make
Hard disagree, but it’s a moot point now, the actor died a few years ago.
S9 was fine, it was just a different show
Wrong wrong wrong wrong, wrong wrong wrong wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong.
Eliza Coupe is great; I don’t see the problem
A show can have a fine cast and still not be good. I just personally didn’t like that season, it’s fine if others did, I just wanted to break out some Dr. Cox.
Thanks for reminding me about Sam Lloyd :/
Yeah, sorry.
Elder millenials that don’t care about this generational fuckery represent!
(oh crap I used elder millenial unironically am I part of the problem AHHHH!)
I thought they were calling us late-model Gen Xers now. Or Oregon trail Generation.
(only barely tangential to your point but) I mean, I also played the Oregon Trail and I’m definitely a younger millennial.
I’m not gonna gatekeep, but was it on a floppy drive? We played it in school on 5.24” floppies.
I recently played a Floppotron video for my 7 year old and he was skeptical that computers sounded like that when games loaded.
We didn’t even get into the 14.4 modem sounds it took to see a webpage.
We played it in school on 5.24” floppies.
Tech around that time depended a lot on what was affordable. Like I had 5¼ floppies at home but school had Apple IIGS with 3.5" drives that we used for Oregon Trail.
Also wikipedia is telling me that 5.25 floppies were actually 130 mm, which would be 5.1". I guess “five and a quarter” rolls of the tongue better so they rounded up.
Ah; you have a fair point, there. I’ve never used a 5.24". I actually didn’t know it was released on those.
I recently played a Floppotron video for my 7 year old and he was skeptical that computers sounded like that when games loaded.
Haha; I know I’m biased since, as a developer and someone interested in computers, I’m also more aware (even if I’ve never used) of older tech. but it is would just how much things have changed.
bobo kelso!!
I know what it is because my mom used to watch it. I thought it looked stupid. She also watched Reno 911 which looked way funnier.
Reno 911 IMHO is one of the best television shows out there.
I’m GenX and I agree that Reno 911 is 100x funnier, never got Scrubs the drama comedy mix was too weird. Yeah we get it your friendship is so great and cute and you hate the janitor.
They didn’t hate the janitor. The janitor hated the doctors, until JD managed to befriend him and find out why he hated the doctors.
Agree so much. It always felt so try-hard and in-love with itself.
Wow that’s so cool
Is it?
No, it isn’t.
Ah, right then.
Hollywood constantly tryina cash in on nostalgia porn and it never works
Sometimes the cash in works, Top Gun for example, and that is why they keep trying, ignoring all the times it doesn’t work.
If you’d have read Bill Lawrence’s interview on the subject, you’d know that’s this isn’t about money. And I’d trust the guy who created Ted Lasso and shrinking to do what it takes to make this worth watching.
And I’d trust the guy who created Ted Lasso and Shrinking to do what it takes to make the worth watching.
And Scrubs. The original show itself. He created it. He’s not some rando taking over.
But honestly, Bill Lawrence has single-handedly built up the comedydrama side of Apple TV+. Ted Lasso, Shrinking, Bad Monkey… All great shows. And I don’t even care about football normally.
I’ll take this one with a grain of salt instead of the usual salt mountain. It’s still a reboot. But it looks like they’re also getting at least some of the other cast members back too. Mostly I’m hoping for Cox and Kelso. Carla and Janitor are apparently semi-confirmed? And I think Jordan is more or less confirmed considering the actress is literally married to Bill Lawrence and actively takes part in his projects.
He also co-created Spin City.
Hadn’t checked out the Apple shows yet but also didn’t know they were Bill Lawrence; that bumps them up the list some
Exactly. That’s my point. He created these shows. And so many people have zero faith that he’d create a quality reboot.
Carla has a scheduling conflict with another show, but I think they were trying to work something out.
the only thing I have heard about Ted Lasso is that it is the most annoying show of the past 5 years
Well now you’ve also heard: I thought it an unapologetically heartfelt show, and I really enjoyed it despite expecting saccharine bullshit. It didn’t hold the quality all three seasons, but that’s not because it’s bad, but rather because the first season (and even the second,) is so good. I enjoyed it completely. But hey, it’s not for everyone.
No, that’s not all you heard about it and we both know it. You just like stirring the pot with edgy rhetoric.
No, it actually works VERY OFTEN. See: The financial success of the always garbage live action disney remakes.
it never works on you and me maybe, but it seems like the normies eat that shit up
It makes me feel like I’m better than them. which I’m aware seems to be a character flaw, but not one I care about, I guess! enjoy your shitty fifth superhero movie reboot or whatever
This Moment when you first think about programming, because of scrub (or was it Scrum, idk I have no idea what this is, since I have never used it) and get confused as hell.
Scrum is a way of working on projects as a team with a defined set of meetings and procedures. All companies I’ve worked at so far were claiming they use it but none of them actually did.
Scrubs on the other hand was THE Sitcom while I was a teenager. One of my best friends was annoying everyone with citing stuff from it all the fucking time.
But they already tried to extend it with “Scrubs meets school” and the reception was horrible so I’m a bit confused that they want to give it another try…
As one of those Gen Z-ers, this tracks. Never heard of ‘Scrubs’
It’s the show that the default Fortnite dance came from.
Looks like you’ve heard of System Shock though. Curious.
Saw it on GoG and decided to give it a try. Shrimple as
I assume it left a good impression if you’re using SHODAN as an avatar, and that warms my heart.
