    Scrubs starts off with our protagonist and his two close peers get their first jobs out of med school, and in that state they’re still a little bit goofy and childish and flawed and have a lot of growing to do.

    So we start the spinoff (which it IS, even if it’s shipped as Season 9 of the original) with our new primary cast just starting med school, so they should be even less mature and even more flawed, which they are. They’re kind of miserable to be around so the audience finds it difficult to be on their side when they make those growth moments, you’d rather zip tie them to an old door and abandon them somewhere above the tree line.

    They didn’t have time before the season was over to really make many of those strides, especially given the screen time given to JD and company.

      Season one JD isnt everyone’s cup of tea either, my partner doesn’t like him. He grew on her though, which season 9 never got a chance to do.
