Scrubs came to an end Wednesday night. the season and most likely the series is gone.
It was a fitting ending to a show that at times was wildly inventive and laugh out loud funny, but also amazingly touching.
Some say the show might return without creator Bill Laurence, star Zach Braff and a few other series stars. Even if it does, I won't be watching it. Because it has always been about J.D., and Braff's portrayal of the silly man-child, who is also a very caring doctor, who cares a little too much about his patients (and about his best friend Turk, but that's another story).
The finale hit on almost every point, missing just a few times, like the stupid Jordan/Ted exchange. Especially good was J.D. finally tricking Dr. Cox into revealing how he really feels about him...no surprise that the grumpy chief of staff really does care about JD, but just does NOO-OOOT like to show it.
The movie that JD sees about his possible future at the end was very nicely done, the film reflecting on his face and he opens up to possibilities and successes, love and friendship. Friends don't have to be next to you every day to still be your best friends.
While I really enjoyed Scrubs, it was time for it to go. It was a funny show, that really paved the way for The Office and 30 Rock. It was, at its best, some of the best TV could offer. That ain't a bad legacy. And in my own imagination I hope J.D. and Turk, Carla and Eliot, and even Dr. Cox all find happiness and continued friendship.
And Carla and Eliot can continue to mimick JD and Turk's hugs...that was kinda a hot moment there! LOL
