'Scrubs: The Complete Ninth And Final Season'
(John C. McGinley, Zach Braff, Donald Faison, Kerry Bishé, et al / 2-Disc DVD / NR / 2010 / BVHE)

Overview: See how the story ends for J.D., Elliot, Turk and the rest of your favorite characters in ABC’s Scrubs: The Complete Ninth And Final Season. The heroes of Sacred Heart may have finished their rounds, but the laughs never stop as they mentor a brand new class of med students!

DVD Verdict: OK, let's be brutally honest about this, but after season 8 already had a series finale, the show was just brought back ... for the heck of it. The writing shows that the original writers probably left too.

While a lot of the original cast left as well, there's no Janitor (Neil Flynn), no Carla (Judy Reyes), no Jordan Sullivan (Christa Miller, well, not as a regular anyway), and the stuffed dog isn't even back. Hell, J.D (Zach Braff) is only in the first few episodes and is suddenly gone, leaving Turk (Donald Faison) as the lead.

The show was still funny, but the writing just got lazy. The new students were basically just clones of the originals, which is lame since some of the originals were still on the show. You have Travis Schuldt as Keith, who's just a version of Dr. Cox (John C. McGinley) and Kerry Bishé as Lucy Bennett, who's a woman version of J.D. She gets lost in her own imagination like he does and the show didn't need 2 people like that.

Dave Franco is funny and annoying at the same time as Lucy's immature boyfriend Cole. He's at least more refreshing than some of the new cast members, even if I guess you can say he's like the Todd, since the Todd doesn't take his job too seriously either.

The bottom line is that that old characters and show name needed to be completely removed from the show all-together. As much as I love Dr. Cox's rants, and JD's fantasy sequences, they didn't fit together coherently with the new cast. Oftentimes, what should be a transitional attempt seems like ABC bargaining with Zach Braff to be their TV show posterboy.

Anyway, this season was OK, but I was only a little disappointed it was canceled. I wasn't that mad, since it already had it's series finale last year and most of the life that the show had, left with that series finale.
