Scrubs is bad

 

False

 

I was gonna warn Pythons that any mention of Scrubs is like a sirencall for grumpy contrarian "um it's bad actually" posts, but i figured I'd let the chips fall where they may.

 

One of the best examples of a great sitcom that can find good moments to make you cry like a baby. I love Bill Lawrence and any fan of Ted Lasso and Shrinking should watch the show.

 

I liked it growing up. So it has a soft spot for me as a comfort show. But I can see where it didn't age great.

 

There are certainly plenty of moments that did not age great, I won't argue with that, but I don't think it ruins the the entire show as a whole. It's no worse than Friends or Seinfeld in that regard and anyone who says otherwise is arguing in bad faith.

 

That being said, JD is a dickhead for most of the series but he's a good, empathetic doctor lol

 

I can also understand how that super saccharine sentimental "laugh then cry" type comedy that was big in the early 2000's (Futurama had it too) can not be many's tastes.

 

That's why I love both shows so much :) they had a lot in common in that regard

 

Having an opinion on a show isn’t being contrarian. It’s a show I don’t enjoy. Never said anyone else can’t enjoy it.

 

Saying it is definitively bad does not equal having the opinion that you don't enjoy it though haha

 

Lord knows I am equally as guilty of making comments like that too, though lol

 

It’s definitively bad and has aged terribly, one of the more offensive joke shows of its era

 

I do feel bad for the cast of Scrubs where the only work they can get now is somehow related to Scrubs. Mostly bad commercials.

 

My posts = my opinion. Didn’t think I had to start every post by saying in my opinion but for clarity IN MY OPINION scrubs is bad.

 

It might be the worst bill lawrence show

 

IN MY OPINION

 

Cougar Town says hello

 

Great show

 

Fwiw this is my acknowledgement that I am a hypocrite lol

 

Noted Cougar enjoyer Pat

 

I don't like Ted Lasso at all and think it's corny as hell. But I respect if you do like it.

 

Mostly enjoy Ted Lasso even if the third season isn’t great. Shrinking is fantastic.

 

Fully agree with ya there on all counts

 

Also spin city good
