Scrubs Finale

I admit, I have not been a big Scrubs fan since about season five. The season six finale ruined any small bit of love I still held for the show with that criminally horrible ending. Season seven was just a mess all around. And then season eight made me want to punch things all the way through.

So, not a fan, though I did watch every episode.

But the ending? This surpassed even my expectations in how much it sucked.

I know that sitcom finales are usually at least somewhat sentimental and less funny than usual, but, wow, they are at least supposed to remember that they once were funny and through in some jokes. This was just sap followed by sap followed by even more sap. Dr. Cox seemed completely out of character in both is unwillingness to acknowledge JD's exit and then going overboard about him. Janitor's storyline sucked. JD actually putting the penny in the door? Kinda ruins the entire relationship they always had. It was funny before. Now it was supposed to be teaching us something. Ugh.

And the ending. OMG. OMG! The ending. The fake flash forward. It was so horrible. So incredibly self serving. I wish I had been like [personal profile] lauren and turned the finale off fifteen minutes in. But I didn't. I'm just that much of a masochist.
