They will know now!
I have a 14 year old who loves scrubs, Brooklyn 99 and the office. Im proud dad
Now the question is when you’re going to introduce them to 30 Rock. Are they ready for that level of jokes-per-minute? What about Community?
Shameless (original version).
And Black adder, Allô Allô, House MD… c’mon, put some effort into it.
…Meanwhile a whole class of 12 yr olds today even know what Brooklyn 99 and community is…
Brooklyn 99 is very recent though, isn’t it? Is it still on the air?
I was like “awesome! It was so funny and would be great to see a modern version of it!” And the I found out that it is a canonical continuation of the story and immediately got disappointed.
Hollywood, listen. When something old was really good and you want to make more money off of it, take the idea that made it good and stop reviving the dead just to be surprised that it sucks.
A new scrubs with a completely different set of people and story with just the key idea there would actually be awesome. Just remember how well the last season was accepted 😒
There was no last season, lalala not listening.
Elder millenials that don’t care about this generational fuckery represent!
(oh crap I used elder millenial unironically am I part of the problem AHHHH!)
I thought they were calling us late-model Gen Xers now. Or Oregon trail Generation.
bobo kelso!!
And that’s why they reboot it
Yep, a built in marketing base of old farts telling young uns how good it is before it even exists.
Scrubs just isn’t that good. It was ok to have onas background TV while getting baked, but its not the sort of thing you’d rewatch because you loved it so much the first time round. I totally understand why gen z hasn’t heard of it.
Strongly disagree. Scrubs is one of my two favorite shows. It’s a brilliant example of dramedy. Showrunner Bill Lawrence is a master of the genre.
But obviously this is a matter of opinion.
I’m okay with a generation not instinctively crowd-funding a Zach Braff project.
I’m out of the loop. What’s up with Zach Braff?
I don’t remember specifics but when Kickstarter was in its infancy Zach Braff had a couple kickstarters for his movies. They weren’t themselves offensive. It’s just that using a crowdfunding platform which, at the time at least, were mostly for people who had zero access to capital when you’re a multimillionaire with Hollywood connections to capital is a bit gauche.
I threw in $100 for a Zach Braff movie. I got to be an extra (they fed us ribs for lunch), 2 t-shirts, then got 2 tickets for a sneak preview with free drinks and popcorn, and a q&a with Zach and Donald Faison…worth every penny, unlike the poor saps that have $1 million to solar freakin roadways.
Genuinely, neat. I wonder how that all financially played out. It was probably mostly a tax deduction. (not that it was bad, but just to point at how the rich have faaaaaar more financial tools to motivate people than those who would ACTUALLY benefit from having access to such things)
During the q&a someone asked about it. His first movie, Garden State basically got bankrolled by some rich dentist that he knew… He said the normal way of financing movies lets a bunch of rich people get to take control of the script, who you cast, what scenes make it in… Basically everything.
He wanted to retain the control he had first time around to make his next movie, so he crowd funded it… And seeing how many movies get made by talented people that end up being garbage because money men think they know everything and fuck it up… Seemed reasonable 😏
I feel the same about companies like Anker’s audio branch Soundcore using Kickstarter to prefund/advertise their new tech - safe to say their ‘projects’ are funded about 20,000%
A product so nice you pay for it twice!
A scrub is a guy that can’t get no love
Hanging off the passenger side
Of his best friend’s ride. Tryna holla at me.
Now I just feel like you’re quoting TLC!?
Do me a favour, don’t go chasing waterfalls.
I know what it is because my mom used to watch it. I thought it looked stupid. She also watched Reno 911 which looked way funnier.
Reno 911 IMHO is one of the best television shows out there.
Wow that’s so cool
Is it?
No, it isn’t.
Ah, right then.
I’m with the girl on this one. I barely remember that show. I hate shows like that. I didn’t like St elsewhere. When it was on I was always elsewhere.
Who has 2 thumbs and doesnt give a crap? This Gen Z boy :3
Man, I hope it’s good. Scrubs is my favorite non-scifi show. I want to buy the whole thing on bluray/dvd but right now I can’t find the whole thing. Some people, when you say “Eagle,” think the bird. Some people think “USA”. I think about Turk and JD.
I wish they would do an HD release of the show. NBC only ordered it as an SD show for most of the series, because that was the era of the transition and only some shows were ordered for HD and budgeted to use the HD production equipment. The Director of Photography shot the whole thing on 16mm film, though, and framed everything so there was a 16x9 safe shot in case they ever went back to upgrade it for syndication or home release. “All” it would take is re-scanning the original film into HD and taking the edit list from the original version and applying it to the same timecode.
As one of those Gen Z-ers, this tracks. Never heard of ‘Scrubs’
Looks like you’ve heard of System Shock though. Curious.
Saw it on GoG and decided to give it a try. Shrimple as
I assume it left a good impression if you’re using SHODAN as an avatar, and that warms my heart.
Never heard of it until now. I assume this refers to the “2001-2010 American medical comedy-drama” show.
For the record I more or less fit into the late millennial generation.
What do you define as late millennial? Because as someone born toward the tail end of the millennials I feel like while I didn’t personally watch it on tv I heard about it a ton and then as an adult I did a binge watch of it
I mean born into the mid-90s. I was a child - early teenager when this aired.
Yeah that makes sense, the biggest crowd that watched it was probably the Millennials born 1981-1992. By the time I started watching it, I was in high school & it was wrapping up. But some of my cousins were in college when it came out.
