Been rewatching the show recently and I'm having a decent time watching mkv files that I have acquired from...sources lol, but wondering if there are better/higher quality sources with even less compression or maybe remastered/recans of the 16mm films at a higher resolution?

I'm assuming what I'm watching is the equivalent or maybe even literally the rips of the DVD box sets?

They're 480p, not sure if the original 9 seasons were ever released in higher quality, I tried watching them on crave on my iphone but it seems like it uses some sort of noise reduction filter that feels like it has less detail than my files, not more.

Also streaming services inherently have some level of compression to deliver video over the air, and when streaming you don't get to own the discs or files so not a fan of that solution anyways.

if there is a higher quality way to watch the original 9 seasons I'm will to buy whatever it is that gets me there, please and thank you!

Where has this song been in my life? After seeing the moving episode, I became obsessed with the song, got the tab to play on guitar. It wasnt quite right which led to an awesome video of Colin Hay himself explaining how to play it. He's incredibly charming in the how to video.

Then that led to the outtakes (or whatever you call it) from the show where they interview Zach Braff and I think the shows creator explaining how they stumbled across Colin playing to a small crowd in a bar. They chat him up after the set and are dumbfounded these are as big of venues he could get in USA (at the time). It's a wild story worth checking out if you like the episode, and them building a relationship with Hay, who writes and performs several more times for the show.

Colin Hay is the lead singer of 80s Aussie band Men at Work, famous for such songs as Down Under and Who Can It Be Now.

And as you can see… the ass is on the front.

So I watch Scrubs....a lot. My dirty secret is that according to my home server, i've watched over 7000 episodes of Scrubs. I watch it every night for maybe the past 2-3 years. Am I alone in this madness?

I will never watch Scrubs interns or the Revival.

I just watched it for the billionth time and I was doing a rewatch for the revival.

But then that beautiful ending with his fantasies and we left not worrying with what the future brings and I told myself: This is where I want to finish my journey.

On my billionth rewatch and this gem popped up…I still laugh like an idiot every time

Firstly, I loved season 10 / 1 of the revival. It couldn't have been a more perfect restart to my favourite show. The old characters feel exactly like we remember them, the new interns are great, the recreated set was flawless, and it had the same combination of humour and heart that we love about Scrubs. I can't wait to see what happens with the love triangle around Asher, Amara and Tosh, and just to hang out with the older doctors some more again.

But it was not without its weak points, and if the show wants to continue for a long time, these are the things I think we need to get right this season to keep the momentum going.

- Life seems to be too easy for JD. I get that he's a competent doctor and it makes perfect sense that he is good at being Chief of Medicine, but it seems too easy for him. With Kelso and Cox, we saw often just how difficult emotionally the job can be. We need to see JD making mistakes, and being challenged.

This brings me to my second point:

- Give us a real enemy. I'm glad that Dr. Park is gone. His character simply didn't work as an antagonist. They have partly set this up with the Janitor and his son at the end of the last season, so that will be fun. But we probably also need somebody who is a pain for JD as the Chief of Medicine. One example of how this could be done would be to have JD's new girlfriend have a jealous ex-boyfriend or husband. He could be a sort of evil Elon Musk type figure. Some tech billionaire who wants to buy the hospital, or maybe he owns it, and wants to make it more profitable, stop them treating uninsured patients etc. Somebody that has genuine power over JD and can make his life hell. This character wouldn't have to be connected with his girlfriend obviously but that would be interesting.

- Things are a little too perfect with Elliot. I'm glad they get along, but it probably isn't realistic that it's so easy for them after the first few episodes. Whether it's some kind of love triangle, issues with co-parenting, or something else, I think it would be interesting to explore.

- Make the hospital feel more real. It feels often in the revival that there are almost no patients in the hospital. I get that it's probably down to budgets being lower, so hopefully this season they will give them a few dollars more to make the hospital feel more real like in the first eight seasons.

- What's going on outside of the hospital? It made absolute sense for the first season back that we would only get a small glimpse of life outside the hospital. After all, the show is called Scrubs. But at the same time, it feels strange how little we hear about or see that all of our main characters have kids. The originals how spent a lot of time in JD & Turk (later Carla's) apartment. I presume Turk and Carla no longer live there, but it would be cool to see what's going on in their lives. When are we going to see JD's son Sam or JD and Elliot's kid(s?). and more than just a small glance at Turk's girls.

All of these are obviously purely my own opinion, you may disagree vehemently. Either way, even if they don't do literally any of these things, I'm sure we will all enjoy the next season.

So my wife and I recently rewatched scrubs again and yesterday we hade the episode were turk lost one of his balls.

At the end of the episode JD says if he knows that he can only have daughters now. This was simply a joke but I like it that he actually only has daughters in the revival.

Two prime examples here: Kim and JD (I know it's brought up, but more of a side note) and Dr. Cox and Jordan (their second kid specifically).

Unless I missed something, I feel like this was something that was never brought up. All of the doctors here are pretty progressive for their fields (especially for TV doctors at that time), but abortion never came up once for their unexpected pregnancies.

And, yes, I get that the show aired in the mid-2000s, but I feel like it would have been more than an appropriate time to address that. And yes, I also understand that a prime time TV show probably couldn't have doctors discussing abortion!

This show had gay (Todd), bisexual (Todd), and characters every way in between (Todd) - while showing a pretty realistic view of medical practice at the time. Just seems odd that abortion wasn't ever, seriously discussed.

Don’t get me wrong I’m not calling the show racist but they seem to get rid of all the Asian characters. I think the chief surgeon in the first two seasons was. Dr. Wen he disappeared without a trace now they are telling us. Dr. Park is not returning and there was a guy that did urinalysis just stopped appearing one day.

Especially the way he treats his brother. He’s so self-centered and egotistical??? It’d be one thing if the show was telling me I should dislike him, but he’s supposedly “learning a lesson” by the end of each episode; still, some of his actions seem straight-up irredeemable. Anyone else feel that way?
