Reid About It

Hopefully.

This season on ABC was a good coda for the show. JD and Elliot's relationship settled down, Turk advanced, Kelso retired but never left, and Cox moved up. Heck, even Ted finally got a girlfriend, and the janitor finally uncovered the mystery of the penny in the door from the first episode. It was nice to see the characters evolve and grow.

Please, let this be the end.

I've seen the ratings. After switching networks, the only people who're watching "Scrubs" are people who've been watching it for years. I've loved it since the first episode, but "Scrubs" kind of humor was never going to be across-the-board accepted. It was a predecessor to shows like "30 Rock," smart shows that will never be in the top ten, but would draw a dedicated audience that watches every week.

Although Zach Braff has left the show, they haven't officially announced the show is over. Braff, Judy Reyes, and creator Bill Lawrence have all said they're finished, but ABC still has yet to end it. You can tell from the early episodes this season they were trying to introduce us to a new cast of interns in hopes one of them would break out of the pack for a possible spinoff or continuation.

"Scrubs" without JD just won't be the same. Losing the main character is usually a sign that your show is over, even if you try to squeeze one more season. Carter leaving finally killed "ER," and the last season of "That 70's Show" was a horrible mishmash of supporting characters.

The final scene where JD walks out of the hospital was the perfect ending, full of little moments that were perfect rewards for all of us who've followed the show since the first episode.

Please let that be our last memory of John Dorian, and his eight seasons at Sacred Heart.
