\n\tScrubs<\/a> fans have spent the past 16 years waiting for Zach Braff<\/a>, Donald Faison, Sarah Chalke, John C. McGinley, Robert Maschio, and Judy Reyes to suit back up and return to active duty at Sacred Heart Hospital. It\u2019s finally happening on Feb. 25, when the first two episodes of the\u00a0Scrubs\u00a0revival series premiere on ABC.<\/p>\n

\n\tA new trailer shows that while the doctors may be older, they\u2019ve gained little wisdom during the long hiatus. They are, however, training a new generation of interns at the teaching hospital. One of them gets \u201ca little woozy\u201d during procedures and can\u2019t keep his hand steady while administering a needle, while another nicks an artery during a routine incision and sends blood shooting out like a geyser.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe original cast members will be joined by several newcomers, including Vanessa Bayer, Joel Kim Booster, and Jacob Dudman.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tOn the ninth season of the show, back in 2009, most of the major characters departed, and the action moved to a new hospital. \u201c[Scrubs creator] Bill Lawrence has said that he wishes [that season] had a different title,\u201d Braff told Esquire last year. <\/a>\u201cIt was meant to be a sort of spinoff, really. He always said he wishes he had called it Scrubs: Med School.\u2026 For years now, there\u2019s been this feeling like Season Nine doesn\u2019t really count, and I get people\u2019s feelings about that. I think it would\u2019ve been all easier if it had been called a \u2018reboot\/spinoff.’\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tThe revival brings the show back where it all started. And for Braff, who started a Scrubs rewatch podcast<\/a> back in 2020, signing on was an easy call. \u201cTo us it was a no-brainer,\u201d he said. \u201cThere were so many things to figure out, getting people on the same calendar and working out Bill\u2019s deal because he\u2019s under a Warner Bros. contract. That took literally years. I thought we might do a little miniseries kind of thing, like Psych has done. I never imagined it was going to be like, \u2018No, you\u2019re back at 8 p.m. prime time on ABC, with Hulu the next day.\u2019 That shocked all of us.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tScrubs joins a long list of beloved sitcoms that have come back on the air over the past decade or so. Some of them (Fuller House, Roseanne\/The Conners, Will and Grace, Night Court, Girl Meets World) ran for several seasons, while others (Mad About You, Murphy Brown, BH90210) flamed out after just one.<\/p>\n

\n\tIt often works best with animated shows, since they don\u2019t need to deal with the passage of time or aging actors. King of the Hill<\/a>, however, took a novel approach by allowing several years to pass so that Bobby Hill could become an adult and the characters could grapple with present-day life. Beavis and Butt-head<\/a> simply catapulted the idiotic duo through a black hole so they\u2019d emerge in the present as teenagers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Scrubs fans have spent the past 16 years waiting for Zach Braff, Donald Faison, Sarah Chalke, John C.…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":474177,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[29],"tags":[64,63,134,104873,427,104878],"class_list":{"0":"post-474176","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-tv","8":"tag-au","9":"tag-australia","10":"tag-entertainment","11":"tag-scrubs","12":"tag-tv","13":"tag-zach-braff"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/474176","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=474176"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/474176\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/474177"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=474176"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=474176"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=474176"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
