"Scrubs" [Lawrence, 2001] Season 8 [Jan.- May '09] [TV-PG-DL/TV-14-DLS]

This ER, or Grey's Anatomy, or something (I don't watch shows like that very often) comedization and by extension non-rip has always been quite brilliant, tolerable in times of sincerity, and soft-with-the-blows as regards humor. This hasn't really changed, but the writing has regressed a little bit in this season, in spite of all the rightfully devoted fans of the show who didn't want it to die ("No! Not yet!"). It's a good thing, then, that it has changed so little. Indeed, this season, rounded up a little bit because of my "devotion" to the show, is almost genuinely enjoyable in its own right. How about that for "jumping the shark"? Grade: B PLUS
