This is the end........

So tonight is the possible end of a great classic comedy, Scrubs. It is being advertised as the season finale, but 90% chance that it is the Series finale. JD wants to leave the show and do movies. Carla has said she wants to move on to something else. Dr. Cox wants to do more shitty movies as well. Only Eliot and Turk have expressed interest in returning. I say all this because I hope it is the end. The show next year would be terrible without Dr. Cox, Carla, and JD. Not because those characters are great, but because they show would lose what it is all about. It was always about JD and Turk being best friends in love, Carla and Turk being married, JD trying to get Dr. Cox to appreciate him, and JD and Eliot chasing each other. I would have a hard time believing the show next year if it were just Turk with no Carla, and no JD and Dr. Cox playing off each other. Who would the janitor torture.

So it was a great show, and I will miss it. But go out the way Brett Favre should have. Many great years at the beginning, then a few so-so seasons (Seasons 6 and 7 for Scrubs), then one last good season (this year for Scrubs and Favre's last year with the Packers). Don't come back for me and make us regret all those years of greatness just because one or two people can't let go.

That being said, here are my comments about their final episode

  • We willl find out that the Janitor's name is Neil Flynn (the name of the actor who plays him) of Jan Itor (his German alter-ego on the show).
  • JD will move away (they hinted at this in the last episode) but will remain close to Turk (they also hinted that Turk and JD weren't going to be friends. There is no way they will take a plot line that lasted 8 years and throw it away in the last episode.)
  • Kelso comes back to work as some capicity.
  • Cox finally hugs JD and tells him he respects him.
  • Eliot and JD decide to finally move on.

Now, how I would end it is. The last episode is 4-5 years in the future. Turk is chief of surgery and JD is chief of medicine (Cox's old position) and Cox is the head of the place (like Kelso). Dr. Kelso is coming into the hospital because he had a heart attack. Eliot and JD are married (no kids) and the Turks have 3 kids. The Janitor is still there, and so is Ted. It is kind of a coming full circle approach to the show that started with everyone on their first day. (I personally don't like the plot twist with JD moving away).

One of the few TV series that I actually enjoyed watching through its entirety. I watched ER when it first came on, and the Simpsons is right up there. But I couldnt bring myself to watch either in the last few(4) years. One difference...I would keep Kelso coming back years later for no other reason than he hates Enid and likes to play grab ass with the young nurses and interns.
