Ollie 1,059 Posted December 24, 2009 Share Posted December 24, 2009 I've been very underwhelmed by the new Scrubs. It just feels flat and forced.I'll be slightly upset if Better Off Ted is cancelled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeinAR 1,949 Posted December 26, 2009 Share Posted December 26, 2009 I so don't understand how this show has been on this long. When we've tried to watch it we end up turning it off quickly. Comedys not filmed before a live audience are never very funny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koray Savas 2,251 Posted December 26, 2009 Share Posted December 26, 2009 They're funnier when they're not filmed in front of a live audience. I hate laugh tracks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Comedys not filmed before a live audience are never very funny. I agree with Koray; while I understand the benefits of audience laughter (it definitely helps in live theater), do you really need somebody to tell you when something's funny? Laugh tracks are a joke in of themselves. For example, see Natural Born Killers. Scrubs (in the first few seasons, at least) is more of a dark/surreal comedy that's supposed to weird out the viewer as much as it's supposed to make him laugh.

Elmo Lewis 6 Posted December 29, 2009 Share Posted December 29, 2009 Yes, because Two and a Half Men is clearly much funnier than Arrested Development, 30 Rock or even The Office.Stick to I Love Lucy reruns Joe. There's a generation trying to enjoy its moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay 37,364 Posted March 2, 2010 Share Posted March 2, 2010 I've been very underwhelmed by the new Scrubs. It just feels flat and forced.I'll be slightly upset if Better Off Ted is cancelled.Things don't look good for Better Off Ted. While ABC did order a 13 episode second season, they flew through the first 11 episodes in just 8 weeks and its unknown when the final 2 episodes will air, if at all. Not only that, but they aired episodes 1-9 and 12-13, skipping over episodes 10 and 11.Scrubs aired episodes 1-11 throughout Dec and Jan, but is airing episode 12 on March 10 and episode 13 on March 17.

Jay 37,364 Posted March 11, 2010 Share Posted March 11, 2010 Scrubs' official facebook page confirms that next Wednesday's episode is the final one ever and they've been canceled.Anybody watch the new one last night? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Breathmask 555 Posted March 11, 2010 Share Posted March 11, 2010 Haven't watched it yet, but will later today.Can't say I mourn the demise of Scrubs 2.0 though. Watching them was becoming increasingly tedious.I'd still watch Legal Custodians. If it ever got made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Henry B 50 Posted March 11, 2010 Author Share Posted March 11, 2010 It was probably best to give the show a quick death rather than prolonging its misery. Well, the newcomers did show some promise. Maybe this failed experiment at least lent them exposure. As for the original cast, I can always refer back to Season 8's "My Finale" as the true end of the show.

Jay 37,364 Posted March 22, 2010 Share Posted March 22, 2010 I finally watched the last 2 episodes of the show. Just as completely mediocre as the entire season. The first few with Braff were ok then it just kept going downhill. Sad they weren't able to give the new characters a "real" finale, but even more sad that season 9 existed at all.
