Tv Season Info

Change is in the air for the eighth season as "Scrubs" makes the move from NBC to ABC, and the characters make significant moves of their own. J.D. (Zach Braff) and Elliot (Sarah Chalke) finally become a couple again, this time with less disastrous results. Turk (Donald Faison) and Carla (Judy Reyes) prepare to become parents for the second time around. Dr. Cox (John C. McGinley) is named chief of medicine, while Dr. Kelso (Ken Jenkins) settles into retirement with less difficulty than many had expected. And, in a win for the little guys, Ted (Sam Lloyd) and the Janitor (Neil Flynn) both find love.

Critic Reviews for Scrubs Season 8

All Critics (6) | Top Critics (3)

"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.

Overall, this was the right ending to the show. It just came two or three seasons too late.

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.

"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.

Scrubs once again proves the doubters wrong.

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.

Audience Reviews for Scrubs: Season 8

    finished the series like a beast (about 3 viewings)

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    The heart breaking, but still so funny, ends of one of the smartest tv show of the decade.

    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.
