00:00:03.160 --> 00:00:13.480
<v Speaker 1>Caloroga Shock Media Scrub, Season seven, Episode three, My rom

2
00:00:13.560 --> 00:00:16.679
<v Speaker 1>Com Original air date March fourth, twenty twenty six. Hi,

3
00:00:17.160 --> 00:00:20.399
<v Speaker 1>I'm a Johnny Mack and we are already a third

4
00:00:20.399 --> 00:00:23.359
<v Speaker 1>of the way through the Scrubs revival as I record

5
00:00:23.399 --> 00:00:26.160
<v Speaker 1>this Friday afternoon. The ratings for this episode are not

6
00:00:26.239 --> 00:00:29.239
<v Speaker 1>out yet, nor has the show been officially renewed. I

7
00:00:29.280 --> 00:00:33.000
<v Speaker 1>will be stunned if this doesn't get another pickup. Everything

8
00:00:33.079 --> 00:00:36.119
<v Speaker 1>screams that this is what passes for a hit in

9
00:00:36.200 --> 00:00:38.560
<v Speaker 1>twenty twenty six. You know, people don't watch network TV,

10
00:00:38.640 --> 00:00:41.759
<v Speaker 1>and this one has buzz, and the people that work

11
00:00:41.759 --> 00:00:43.439
<v Speaker 1>on the show seem nice to work with, and you

12
00:00:43.479 --> 00:00:45.560
<v Speaker 1>want to be in the Bill Lawrence business. And the

13
00:00:45.600 --> 00:00:47.880
<v Speaker 1>premiere did pretty well. I'd be shocked if this doesn't

14
00:00:47.880 --> 00:00:51.119
<v Speaker 1>come back. In my rom Com, we saw j D

15
00:00:51.240 --> 00:00:54.960
<v Speaker 1>and Elliott fighting at work again. Elliott believed that JD

16
00:00:55.200 --> 00:00:58.200
<v Speaker 1>had it in for her. They are divorced. Now we

17
00:00:58.280 --> 00:01:02.119
<v Speaker 1>see JD in the doctor kel. She wants to keep

18
00:01:02.159 --> 00:01:05.359
<v Speaker 1>a patient. JD is like it's time to discharge her.

19
00:01:05.920 --> 00:01:08.200
<v Speaker 1>The patient didn't want treatment. There's no reason to be

20
00:01:08.239 --> 00:01:10.239
<v Speaker 1>in the hospital. We got a business here to run.

21
00:01:10.280 --> 00:01:12.640
<v Speaker 1>Elliott does not appreciate any of that. It's just so

22
00:01:12.719 --> 00:01:15.599
<v Speaker 1>weird to see JD in the Kelso role, but it

23
00:01:15.640 --> 00:01:18.319
<v Speaker 1>makes sense now. One thing to keep an eye on

24
00:01:18.560 --> 00:01:21.280
<v Speaker 1>in this episode. I saw on the Reddit somebody thought

25
00:01:21.760 --> 00:01:24.959
<v Speaker 1>that perhaps, possibly maybe that JD and Elliott film their

26
00:01:25.000 --> 00:01:27.760
<v Speaker 1>scenes separately, because you would only see one of them

27
00:01:27.799 --> 00:01:29.799
<v Speaker 1>in the camera shot as they talk to each other,

28
00:01:30.480 --> 00:01:33.079
<v Speaker 1>but I disagreed. I was paying a lot of attention

29
00:01:33.120 --> 00:01:35.040
<v Speaker 1>to the episode. I had seen that Reddit post before

30
00:01:35.079 --> 00:01:36.680
<v Speaker 1>I put the episode on, and I was looking out

31
00:01:36.719 --> 00:01:38.920
<v Speaker 1>for it, and at the beginning I was like, oh, yeah,

32
00:01:38.959 --> 00:01:41.519
<v Speaker 1>that does look a little funky. But what I realized

33
00:01:41.680 --> 00:01:45.519
<v Speaker 1>was it's a directorial choice, I think because j D

34
00:01:45.680 --> 00:01:49.079
<v Speaker 1>and Elliott are not together, so in camera they are

35
00:01:49.079 --> 00:01:52.480
<v Speaker 1>not together. Now, as the episode goes on, the two

36
00:01:52.680 --> 00:01:56.280
<v Speaker 1>have a nice conversation. JD tells Elliott he'd like to

37
00:01:56.280 --> 00:01:58.560
<v Speaker 1>find their core friendship and connection again and it was

38
00:01:58.640 --> 00:02:02.040
<v Speaker 1>just going to take time. And in the scene JD

39
00:02:02.239 --> 00:02:05.200
<v Speaker 1>walks into Elliott's frame and now they are side by side.

40
00:02:05.400 --> 00:02:08.120
<v Speaker 1>They are visually together again, So I think the director

41
00:02:08.240 --> 00:02:11.319
<v Speaker 1>made a choice there. It's subtle. There's also a b

42
00:02:11.520 --> 00:02:15.000
<v Speaker 1>plot involving Churk and the surgical Internsamara, the one that's

43
00:02:15.000 --> 00:02:18.120
<v Speaker 1>not confident, and Dashauna, who I think is fantastic and

44
00:02:18.159 --> 00:02:20.879
<v Speaker 1>my favorite of the new bunch. The actress is doing

45
00:02:20.919 --> 00:02:23.120
<v Speaker 1>a great job. The role seems a little more fleshed out.

46
00:02:23.159 --> 00:02:25.879
<v Speaker 1>She's got great chemistry with Turk. We get to spend

47
00:02:25.919 --> 00:02:29.240
<v Speaker 1>some time with some of the newer characters. Ellieed goes

48
00:02:29.240 --> 00:02:31.120
<v Speaker 1>and hits up the IT guy, who is a bit

49
00:02:31.159 --> 00:02:35.039
<v Speaker 1>of a character. He shuts down the hospital's electronics systems,

50
00:02:35.039 --> 00:02:38.240
<v Speaker 1>which is fascinating because that's the same plot happening in

51
00:02:38.280 --> 00:02:41.360
<v Speaker 1>the pit. So I just find it interesting that the

52
00:02:41.360 --> 00:02:43.879
<v Speaker 1>pit and the scrubs are aligned on their plot lines.

53
00:02:44.439 --> 00:02:47.680
<v Speaker 1>It guy, we learned plays Dungeon and Dragons on Sunday

54
00:02:47.719 --> 00:02:51.159
<v Speaker 1>with Turk. So Turk has this whole life outside JD.

55
00:02:51.319 --> 00:02:55.599
<v Speaker 1>Now twenty years later, there's another another uplot about finding

56
00:02:55.639 --> 00:02:59.439
<v Speaker 1>the sick patient's ex husband and how he looks like

57
00:02:59.520 --> 00:03:01.759
<v Speaker 1>the main character from the movie Up. They have some

58
00:03:01.800 --> 00:03:04.319
<v Speaker 1>fun with that. We get some scenes out of new

59
00:03:04.360 --> 00:03:08.719
<v Speaker 1>annoying HR Lady Carla does appear in this episode special

60
00:03:08.759 --> 00:03:11.240
<v Speaker 1>guest Judy Rayis. I noticed in the credits. I don't

61
00:03:11.240 --> 00:03:13.639
<v Speaker 1>think we saw Joel Kim Booster's character at all, so

62
00:03:13.719 --> 00:03:17.560
<v Speaker 1>that's interesting. Show Runner Assim Batra explained the deal with

63
00:03:17.639 --> 00:03:20.319
<v Speaker 1>JD and Elliott to tv line. She explains, if you

64
00:03:20.360 --> 00:03:21.879
<v Speaker 1>go back and look at the first run of Scrubs,

65
00:03:21.879 --> 00:03:24.120
<v Speaker 1>they always had a tricky relationship, and it's just real

66
00:03:24.199 --> 00:03:27.319
<v Speaker 1>statistically in terms of marriages, we don't know what we're

67
00:03:27.319 --> 00:03:29.560
<v Speaker 1>gonna do with the two of them, and that's exciting. Again,

68
00:03:29.759 --> 00:03:32.120
<v Speaker 1>that suggests a season two. It gives us a lots

69
00:03:32.120 --> 00:03:34.120
<v Speaker 1>of right to we get to see dating episodes again,

70
00:03:34.159 --> 00:03:35.840
<v Speaker 1>we get to see them have a journey together again.

71
00:03:35.919 --> 00:03:37.560
<v Speaker 1>Of okay, if it's not gonna be this, how do

72
00:03:37.599 --> 00:03:40.520
<v Speaker 1>we still keep loving our relationship? Watra notes, if we

73
00:03:40.520 --> 00:03:42.400
<v Speaker 1>had JD acting the way he was in his twenties

74
00:03:42.400 --> 00:03:44.840
<v Speaker 1>would probably drive a lot of people crazy. He's not there.

75
00:03:45.039 --> 00:03:47.240
<v Speaker 1>He's a grown up, and we don't really want to

76
00:03:47.240 --> 00:03:49.280
<v Speaker 1>see a guy controlling what his ex is doing. That's

77
00:03:49.360 --> 00:03:52.000
<v Speaker 1>kind of an old thing. As for making him get

78
00:03:52.000 --> 00:03:54.159
<v Speaker 1>along now, Botra says, when you're in a space of

79
00:03:54.199 --> 00:03:56.800
<v Speaker 1>always being contentious, the comedy gets tamped down. We wanted

80
00:03:56.840 --> 00:03:58.199
<v Speaker 1>them to be in a good space so they can

81
00:03:58.199 --> 00:04:00.759
<v Speaker 1>have those fun light moments. Do we find out what

82
00:04:00.840 --> 00:04:05.719
<v Speaker 1>led to the divorce spoiler not this season. Bocher says,

83
00:04:05.759 --> 00:04:08.080
<v Speaker 1>if we have more episodes in a later season, we

84
00:04:08.159 --> 00:04:10.080
<v Speaker 1>can unpack that in a way of like, well, what

85
00:04:10.199 --> 00:04:11.879
<v Speaker 1>was the origin of this? And I think that will

86
00:04:11.919 --> 00:04:15.560
<v Speaker 1>be interesting for me. This episode was another winner. Now,

87
00:04:15.639 --> 00:04:17.879
<v Speaker 1>about ten minutes in, I was like, Oh, this one's

88
00:04:17.920 --> 00:04:19.680
<v Speaker 1>not that funny, but I'm glad Scrubs is back, and

89
00:04:19.720 --> 00:04:21.879
<v Speaker 1>I like spending time with these characters. But then there

90
00:04:21.879 --> 00:04:26.800
<v Speaker 1>were a couple really JD fantasy moments involving wrestling. You

91
00:04:26.839 --> 00:04:28.680
<v Speaker 1>could tell there's a little more budget for that stuff

92
00:04:28.680 --> 00:04:31.600
<v Speaker 1>this time around. The times we saw the wrestling ring

93
00:04:31.680 --> 00:04:34.439
<v Speaker 1>were hilarious. There were a couple one liners here and there.

94
00:04:34.480 --> 00:04:36.319
<v Speaker 1>They got to chuckle out of me. So maybe the

95
00:04:36.319 --> 00:04:37.879
<v Speaker 1>beginning of the episodes is not that funny, but in

96
00:04:37.879 --> 00:04:40.199
<v Speaker 1>the end I was like, oh, I'm glad Scrubs is back.

97
00:04:41.279 --> 00:04:43.800
<v Speaker 1>One of the listeners sent this to me. Thank you listener.

98
00:04:43.800 --> 00:04:45.439
<v Speaker 1>You know who you are. And now when I get emails,

99
00:04:45.439 --> 00:04:48.000
<v Speaker 1>a lot of people just prefer to stay anonymous, So

100
00:04:48.040 --> 00:04:51.240
<v Speaker 1>thank you listener who sent me this article explaining how

101
00:04:51.279 --> 00:04:55.439
<v Speaker 1>they rebuilt the hospital. The original show's production designer Cabot

102
00:04:55.519 --> 00:04:59.800
<v Speaker 1>McCullen is not back. The new guy is Roger Fires,

103
00:05:00.560 --> 00:05:03.839
<v Speaker 1>and some fans are noticing some of the set looks different.

104
00:05:04.519 --> 00:05:07.680
<v Speaker 1>That's because they couldn't use the original location. I think

105
00:05:07.759 --> 00:05:11.360
<v Speaker 1>that building was torn down. However, they've done updated versions

106
00:05:11.399 --> 00:05:14.000
<v Speaker 1>of the hallways, operating rooms, and even the gift shop.

107
00:05:14.279 --> 00:05:16.639
<v Speaker 1>I feel like at some point it looks like the

108
00:05:16.680 --> 00:05:21.079
<v Speaker 1>background is CGI can't really tell. Sometimes the back looks

109
00:05:21.120 --> 00:05:23.920
<v Speaker 1>a little funky. We're told when Zach Braff came to

110
00:05:23.959 --> 00:05:25.560
<v Speaker 1>see the new set for the first time, he was

111
00:05:25.600 --> 00:05:28.720
<v Speaker 1>speechless for three minutes, looking at us like I can't

112
00:05:28.720 --> 00:05:31.319
<v Speaker 1>believe you guys did this. If the audience at home

113
00:05:31.319 --> 00:05:34.639
<v Speaker 1>as the same reaction, I think that's successful. The original

114
00:05:34.680 --> 00:05:37.920
<v Speaker 1>pilot for Original Scrubs was shot at the fully operational

115
00:05:37.920 --> 00:05:40.879
<v Speaker 1>Women and Children's Hospital in Valley Village. Once the series

116
00:05:40.920 --> 00:05:43.399
<v Speaker 1>got picked up, they filmed it at North Hollywood Medical

117
00:05:43.399 --> 00:05:45.920
<v Speaker 1>Center in the San Fernando Valley, a real hospital that

118
00:05:46.000 --> 00:05:49.519
<v Speaker 1>had been shut down. Seasons one through eight took place there.

119
00:05:49.600 --> 00:05:52.720
<v Speaker 1>They also had rooms for makeup, wardrobe, editing, swedes, sound studios,

120
00:05:52.759 --> 00:05:56.040
<v Speaker 1>and more, and instead of trailers, the cast was given

121
00:05:56.120 --> 00:05:59.560
<v Speaker 1>old hospital rooms. That's fun. For season nine production moved

122
00:05:59.560 --> 00:06:02.959
<v Speaker 1>to Culver Studios. But there is no season nine anymore.

123
00:06:03.360 --> 00:06:05.600
<v Speaker 1>What are you talking about? There are eight seasons and

124
00:06:05.600 --> 00:06:08.360
<v Speaker 1>then we call this one season ten. Season nine never happened.

125
00:06:08.759 --> 00:06:11.519
<v Speaker 1>It's been d cannoned. Back in the old days, they

126
00:06:11.519 --> 00:06:13.399
<v Speaker 1>had to put up a huge sign that said this

127
00:06:13.439 --> 00:06:16.720
<v Speaker 1>is not a working hospital. Don't come here for emergency care.

128
00:06:17.319 --> 00:06:20.240
<v Speaker 1>North Hollywood Medical Center was torn down to twenty eleven. Uh,

129
00:06:20.279 --> 00:06:22.680
<v Speaker 1>I was right what I said earlier and is now

130
00:06:22.800 --> 00:06:25.600
<v Speaker 1>luxury apartments. So for the revival, a set was built

131
00:06:25.639 --> 00:06:28.439
<v Speaker 1>to mimic the original. The new set is in Vancouver.

132
00:06:29.480 --> 00:06:31.959
<v Speaker 1>The only exception is the entrance to the hospital that

133
00:06:32.079 --> 00:06:35.120
<v Speaker 1>was not built. It was created using an optical illusion.

134
00:06:35.839 --> 00:06:38.600
<v Speaker 1>Fires recreated the entrance using a three D photo of

135
00:06:38.600 --> 00:06:42.360
<v Speaker 1>the original entrance that has quote reverse perspective that tricks

136
00:06:42.399 --> 00:06:45.000
<v Speaker 1>the eyes. I don't think in the new series we've

137
00:06:45.040 --> 00:06:48.600
<v Speaker 1>gone to the bar yet. Maybe I'm forgetful. In the

138
00:06:48.639 --> 00:06:51.680
<v Speaker 1>new series, the bar is called Lloyd's Junction. It is

139
00:06:51.959 --> 00:06:55.040
<v Speaker 1>canonically the same bar that they hung out in olden times.

140
00:06:55.720 --> 00:06:58.639
<v Speaker 1>The original bar never had a name, but apparently all

141
00:06:58.639 --> 00:07:02.199
<v Speaker 1>along possibly it's been called Lloyd's Junction. Anyway, the new

142
00:07:02.279 --> 00:07:05.160
<v Speaker 1>name is a tribute to Sam Lloyd, the actor who

143
00:07:05.160 --> 00:07:07.800
<v Speaker 1>played Ted Lawyer. Sam passed away a couple years, so

144
00:07:07.800 --> 00:07:10.959
<v Speaker 1>a nice way to honor Sam Lloyd over at Lloyd's Junction.

145
00:07:11.279 --> 00:07:14.480
<v Speaker 1>And that is your Scrubs Season ten, episode three recap.

146
00:07:14.519 --> 00:07:16.600
<v Speaker 1>I'm so happy the show was back back in the

147
00:07:16.639 --> 00:07:18.079
<v Speaker 1>morning with a normal episode
