It's done without the original cast.

It has some of the original cast.

It just wont be the same without the Janitor

I agree.

I watched the first two episodes and it was about as good as Season 8, ok, but not stellar. I'd say its more focused on the jokes and less serious, so maybe more like season 6. The new girl that's taking over the talking in her head isn't really appealing of a character yet. It does kinda feel like they're trying to hang onto what the show was too much, and maybe should have made more of a clean break than they have so far. It really misses a lot of the other characters (Elliot, Carla, Jordan, Ted, etc), and with JD, Turk, Dr. Cox and Kelso (and even the Todd) around it just reminds you of what it was a bit too much. The girl they retained from season 8, and the new guy are both pretty good though.

The new Scrubs is mildly entertaining, but it just isn't the same without JD, Elliot and the Janitor being regulars.

Ah, well the switch from broadcasting it on NBC to ABC is when it went downhill. The last few seasons have been horrible compared to the first seasons.

I wouldn't say horrible, but it definitely peaked at season 5. Its only been on ABC with season 8 and 9 (the current one).

You have to think of the new season as a spin-off but it kept the same name.

It's really season 1 of a new show.

Is that the Australian MEd Student? Because that's what I came in here to say: "Needs more Australian Med student to be great"

completely disagree. last season on abc was much better than the final season on nbc IMO.

Agreed. The finale on ABC was a great ending for the show.

That said, AfterScrubs isn't doing much for me. Too much of a been there, done that, now doing that again with different characters vibe so far.

In my opinion, the show needed to end on Season 5 or 6, somehow. The writing got pretty bad for part of 6 and 7.

Same with How I met Your Mother. The show needs to end already.
