“Scrubs” is frequently cited by medical professionals as the most realistic medical show portraying life as a doctor in a hospital, as Slate reported.
It also provided us with many laughs — and almost as many tears — across its seven seasons on NBC. The network canceled it, and ABC swooped in to pick it up for season eight in 2008.
Creator Bill Lawrence provided fans with a beautiful finale that saw all of our favorite characters riding off into the sunset. Or so it seemed.
ABC commissioned one more season of “Scrubs,” known unofficially as “Scrubs Med.” The show was moved from a hospital to a medical school, only three of the original cast continued to star, and a bunch of new characters were introduced, much to the chagrin of audiences.
Thankfully, the show was really canceled after that in 2010, and many fans don’t even acknowledge it as canon.
But, guess what? In 2026, we’re heading back to Sacred Heart for a 10th season with Zach Braff, Donald Faison, Sarah Chalke, John C. McGinley, and Judy Reyes, so maybe we’ll be taking this show off the list soon.
