Wasn’t there already a shitty scrubs reboot with like a university
- Was the "9th" season noone likes talking about , premiered a year after the proper finaly . The plot was that the hospital was torn down and they built a training hospital thir , and the main cast partially came back to act as teachers or some shit , I think we all mostly blocked it out . It ended that season and noone wanted it back. They had a proper ending to the show and then shat all over it , so most fans will say it ended at 8. And fuck was it a good ending.
  
  I seem to be in a minority that liked season 9. It obviously wasn't the same scrubs, and season 8 was a perfect ending, but it wasn't terrible either.
  
  I liked season 9. Not as much as the rest of the show, but it was good. It was just a different show at that point. It should have been a spin-off instead of a new season.
  
  If I remember correctly, this was also around the writer's strike and they wanted to do another season to make sure the people working to produce the show could still make money.
  
  My understanding is that Bill Lawrence, the creator of the show, planned it as a spin-off, but ABC didn't want that. It's why it was also called "Scrubs: Med School" in some places.
  
  The wiki goes into it a bit, but definitely a separate thing in my opinion - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scrubs_season_9
  
  Scrubs: Med School is an okay name for a spinoff. It's in the same continuity and the same characters exist.
  
  Agree with everything you said. S8 ended so perfectly. The first episode of s9 was still okay cause it featured JD heavily, but then he is barely in it at all. Zach Braff definitely made the show
- Yeah but this is like 20 years on... you can reinvent the character with that kind of gap.
  
  I live quietly in hope on this one.

  This maybe? I had never heard of it.
