If you were a fan of the original eight-season run of Scrubs (you heard me), you will find much to like in the revival series. The headline characters are just who they should be, with welcome (and sometimes unexpected) growth (“The Todd really likes to go deep… with consent five.”). It feels like catching up with long-lost friends, and much of the new cast is wonderful (Amanda Morrow and Layla Mohammadi in particular). Episode 8 (of nine) brings a trademark Scrubs “Oh, you thought this was a sitcom?” moment that’s incredibly emotional for long-time fans. The biggest issue, such as it is, is one from which all reboots seem to suffer: a misplaced eagerness to introduce new characters as quirky as the original cast (I’m looking at you, nurses Dubois and Raymond!). Still, it’s a blast to reconnect with these characters and I hope the revival gets a second season.

A brief rant directed specifically at the clueless marketing executives at Hulu/ABC, but relevant to all streaming services broadly

In writing this up, I naturally wanted to provide a relevant link for anyone inspired to watch the show. Alas, I was unable to do so, as there was no direct link on either the ABC or Hulu websites to the latest season of the show (ideally with a description and complete list of episodes).

My only option was to link to the original series on Hulu, which does not mention a “Season 10,” and instead hides the revival behind a “Scrubs (2026)” link, which contains no episode information, is paywalled, and, astonishingly, contains the wrong pitch (“Start watching Scrubs (2001) / 9 seasons available (182 episodes)”). Anyone interested in season 10 is going to shrug and walk away, convinced the season is not yet available.

ABC is even worse, showing only four episodes of Season 1, with a tantalizing “Show All” button that reveals… four more episodes. Clicking on the prominent “Watch Scrubs on Hulu” link takes you to a different Hulu page, which includes only those eight episodes of Season 1, with no way to get to the complete series—nor to the revival. Pathetic.

The obvious goal (to me and most readers of this site) of a TV show’s landing page is to convince people to sign up for the streaming service so they can watch the show, but if no one can learn about the show—watch clips, see episode descriptions, watch a trailer—why would they commit to paying money to watch it?

ABC, Hulu: Call me; I’ll help you fix this. I’ll accept payment in free streaming for life.
