I sometimes wonder why people try to convince other people of issues that come squarely down to taste. Like I mean fine, if you're a fan of something and want to debate the particulars of certain decisions in the storytelling, that's cool. But coming into a topic more or less made for people who like (or at one time did like) Scrubs and tell them that it is and always was an awful show....I don't think there's any better example of trolling than that.
But anyway, I haven't really seen the season sucking as much as everyone else seems to....but part of that's because I'm used to the limitations of the viewing format. Scrubs is a show that benefits a lot from watching it on DVD so you can do a few episodes at a time, because it has weak episodes here and there, but they tend to work out quite well when viewed in the context of other episodes in the season. It's that whole arc-based storytelling thing, I guess. So I haven't so much seen this as a sucky season as it has been a run of a few sub-par episodes.
Still, a sub-par episode of Scrubs is better than an above-par episode of just about anything else on TV these days. So no worries.
