More Show More Episodes Critic Reviews for Scrubs Season 8 All Critics (8) | Top Critics (4) | Fresh (8) | Rotten (0) Scrubs is all about short bursts of out-of-body humor and very occasional dabs of poignancy. Nov 8, 2019 | Rating: A- | Full Review… Ed Bark Uncle Barky Top Critic "My Finale" made me happy. And it made me sad. Seems about right for the ending of a show that so often expertly balanced comedy and tragedy. Jan 6, 2009 | Full Review… Alan Sepinwall Newark Star-Ledger Top Critic Scrubs once again proves the doubters wrong. Jan 6, 2009 | Full Review… Maureen Ryan Chicago Tribune Top Critic What remains great about Scrubs is its politically incorrect tone, so smooth that the offending line is already in the rear-view mirror before you have a chance to work up any outrage. Jan 6, 2009 | Full Review… Ray Richmond Hollywood Reporter Top Critic Scrubs certainly deserves consideration as one of this decade's finest sitcoms, a show that nimbly moved from gut-busting comedy to heart-wrenching drama to off-the-wall slapstick, often within a single episode. Oct 31, 2019 | Rating: 3.5/5 | Full Review… Jamey Codding Bullz-Eye.com Overall, this was the right ending to the show. It just came two or three seasons too late. Sep 4, 2018 | Rating: 7.5/10 | Full Review… Seth Amitin IGN Movies Has the show jumped the shark? Only a little, with a three-episode story arc that sees the arrival of stiff-acting Courteney Cox as a new chief of medicine. But later, charming and talented Elizabeth Banks returns for three episodes, so it balances out. Aug 17, 2018 | Full Review… Chris Ball Cleveland Plain Dealer "Scrubs" has been a phenomenal show over its eight seasons. Not always perfect in the later years, it was still ahead of its time in many ways, particularly in terms of its excellent use of music and its rich blend of comedy and drama. Jun 14, 2018 | Full Review… Seth Freilich Pajiba View All Critic Reviews (8) Audience Reviews for Scrubs: Season 8 Feb 12, 2020 One of the very, very few comedy shows the last couple of decades with actual laugh out loud moments. And the occational gut punch. Brilliant. Ole M Jan 25, 2018 finished the series like a beast (about 3 viewings) Waleed A Feb 15, 2016 While this season didn't really have as many of the memorable episodes as previous seasons, it made up for it with the powerful finale. This would have been a perfect way to end the show and definitely brought me to tears. Casi H May 18, 2015 So far I loved Scrubs. It just made me cry and laugh at the same time which is why I really enjoyed every single episode. They should have stopped there with the great season finale of season 8 though because season 9 just screwed it up. Taddy B Mar 01, 2015 Dramedy or Comeda. Whatever it may be, it is certainly composed of snappy dialogue and loveable characters. A wonderful show that was able to turn on a dime from giddy to tragic and had fun criticizing itself. Lee B Aug 09, 2014 Can't give this one a perfect score due to the fact that a lot of cast changes in the end didn't hold it together that well. Even if it is one of the best comedies of all time. Yes bold statement, but it really is. A truly talented cast with all hard hitters up till almost the end. That's including what was to be the 9th season revival that couldn't take off. Paul M Jul 28, 2014 The heart breaking, but still so funny, ends of one of the smartest tv show of the decade. Pierrick B May 14, 2014 Season eight, which is the final season for all intents and purposes, is an incredible upgrade from the seventh and held together by two, two part episodes (My Finale, My Soul On Fire). Aside from those episodes, this season is surprisingly mundane, but those two episodes, especially My Finale, are so incredible that they raise the overall rating of this season tenfold. The finale of scrubs is, without question, the best episode in the history of sitcoms, possibly of all shows. The way they wrapped up this series was so phenomenal that it still makes me cry every time I watch it.
