Scrubs - Season 9

Or Scrubs: Med School, season one, depending on if you pay attention to the actual title card. Hopefully it's the only season too, because the show's just kind of sad at this point. It's not that it's completely devoid of laughter or a few decent moments that the show is known for, it just feels like the creative spark is completely gone at this point. Most of the main cast from before is either missing or only seen in a few episodes, as they tried to breathe some life into the formula with a new group of interns. Lucy is the JD stand-in, with all of his quirky nervousness but none of his comic timing. James Franco's brother Dave plays the privileged son of some rich donor, and he's half annoying, half the actual funniest character of the season with some of the ridiculous crap that comes out of his mouth. Denise is the only intern from season 8 to return in a significant role, and she forms an interesting relationship with Drew, a hotshot slightly older intern who had some non-medicine related issues the first time he tried to be a doctor.

Donald Faison and John C. McGinley are two of the most talented cast members from the show's original run, yet they're the only ones still around the whole time this season, making you wonder what it is that's keeping them there. It might have been okay to pull this several years ago with a largely circular cast of fresh faces, but for eight years it's been Zach Braff's show, and the conclusion last year was so wonderful, that keeping it going like this just seems wrong. I can't really bring myself to care about any of these new doctors' problems, and with the show's lagging ratings it's not even like they're effectively milking the franchise. It's like a child kicking and screaming while his parents are pulling him away from a birthday party that's already over. It's a good bet that the show's done at this point, and even if it's not I probably won't watch it again anyway.
