The first two seasons were pretty good, but the rest is just awful. That is probably one of the few series I can remember that has gone from good to bad this fast, and I am genuinely amazed that people still tune in, and even worse, actually think that it is funny.
I think I watched maybe 2 episodes of this new series and realised it was terrible and gave up. They should have just ended it with JD leaving, they tried to give it a reboot with the 'same' characters and in my opinion Scrubs was all about JD, with him not there it's not Scrubs.
I thought the first couple of episodes were alright, the cameo with the Janitor where he just lets the mop fall to the floor and walks out when he learns JD isn't coming back cracked me up. The series lost something though and after episode 5 or 6 I stopped watching.
I don't want to say it was simply Zach Braff leaving, the whole dynamic of the show changed and it became less engaging.

I'll admit, Season 9 hasn't done anything to make me watch it. At all. I watched the first two shows, then just forgot about it, only remembering it was on when E4/C4 advertised it.
To me, it's just lost the ability to balance comedy and drama as well as the previous seasons did. For example, Ben Sullivan's plot and his battle against Leukaemia is a prime example of the way they used to balance comedy and drama perfectly, making fun of a rather sensitive subject whilst addressing the seriousness of the subject. And I'll echo the comment of standokan and Pariah87 on this page, without the Janitor, and of course JD, it just seems like they've said "Right, we know this will be poor, lets just roll it out, wrap the show up and move on." Plus, it appears to me Dr. Cox is no longer the Cox I know and love, he seems to be just a jackass. Which, admittedly, he was but he was a jackass that cared and had some great one liners/rants. This time out he just seems to be pure anger.
For me, it should've ended when season 8 ended. The last episode of that season sort of wrapped everything up by showing a few glimpses of what was going to happen with the lives of others and JD. That should've been the time they bowed out and walked away. Season 9 just feels like an attempt to try and regain lost glories.

It also doesn't help that the new cast are extremely unlikeable. >>
