December 2, 200916 yr Cole needs to get out like right now. Yes the show needs an antagonist but this actor sucks and just makes horrible character choices. So frigging annoying. Lucy is weird cause they're trying to shoehorn her into "Girl JD" and I don't know of that's gonna work for me. Drew is probably the favorite of the newbies. A perfect match for Denise, who's tough exterior kinda dude-chick thing was gonna get old real fast if she does it for another season. Overall it was better than I expected. Give it some time post JD to see how it finds it's footing.
December 3, 200916 yr got around to watching it last night. No way this lasts long. Edited December 3, 200916 yr by SnB
December 3, 200916 yr QUOTE (danman31 @ Dec 1, 2009 -> 10:38 PM) Yeah, Drew has some potential. I love Denise so it's big that she's getting a bigger role. It would be nice if they brought back Jordan for some episodes. She's a good character and it looks like they will need the help in the short run. I didn't care for the first episode, but the 2nd one was pretty solid. Agreed on Denise. I actually like the first episode and didn't care for the 2nd one that much. Going to be hard having Scrubs with out the Janitor.
December 9, 200916 yr So after watching tonight's episode, I still really don't like Cole at all as a character and I'm still not really liking Lucy. Drew is starting to grow on me though. I like what they are doing with Denise's character as well. But I'm still concerned the show won't be very good once JD isn't there to carry it. Edited December 9, 200916 yr by whitesoxfan99
December 9, 200916 yr This version of Scrubs is horrible minus any original characters. Even with them, this isn't a good show.
December 10, 200916 yr I understand you need an antagonist in shows to make them interesting, but do they have to be as annoying as Cole? He just doesn't do anything except suck. The security guards could be funny though, in a janitor sort of way (though they will never be the janitor)

Even as big of jerks as Cox and Kelso are, they have things about them to like.

Even as big of jerks as Cox and Kelso are, they have things about them to like. Even then I don't think he will be a remotely likable character. He isn't remotely funny which is the biggest problem with the character since he is clearly just supposed to be there for comic relief.

Lucy is still annoying, but I'm starting to adapt to her.

You can like The Todd, because he is totally funny. This guy is just your usual dopey spoiled frat-boy.

I haven't hated it so far, but only because there are enough good moments between Cox, Denise, Turk, and JD to keep it somewhat passable.
December 10, 200916 yr I noticed the guy's name that plays Cole is Franco. Wonder if he is related to James Franco. They look similar. That said, James Franco would rule in that role. Due it up like he did in Pineapple Express.

December 10, 200916 yr Author Problem with the Cole character is that the same character was on Scrubs a few years ago as one of Eliot's students. You know.....rich kid....daddy donated big money so he was entitled. it was only good once Kelso told Eliot that he had to suck up to the kids father not to the student and then she rode his butt hard. I don't see Cole going away but i don't see him getting any better either. ...and i'm still wondering how and when (of if) they will work in Ted and Lloyd...lol

December 18, 200916 yr Looks like this season will be it for Scrubs. Can't say I'm surprised and I still maintain it shouldn't have ended with the perfect finale last season. http://tvbythenumbers.com/2009/12/18/repor...t=Google+Reader

This past weeks episode was awful. I usually DVR it and re-watch during the week, but I just deleted this past weeks episode.

I was really hoping for ABC to give Better off Ted a bit longer. I like that show. I guess i'm one of the few
January 6, 201016 yr Well, i hate to say it, but since JD split, the last 3 episodes were pretty good and watchable. Cole still sucks but with more Drew and Denise it makes up for things.

It's just gotten way more over the top and it seems the acting has gotten worse overall. It just doesn't feel like Scrubs.

I'm certainly not going to stop watching, but Lucy needs major improvement.
