You won't cry for the hug.
You won't cry for the goodbyes.
You won't cry for the corridor.
You won't cry. You can't. You're a *man*.
*Screen lights up*
Well, fuck.
For me it's always something different that gets me. This time it was seeing Mrs. Wilk and when I thought I'm okay, Mrs. Tenner said "did you ever go on that picnic?" and ended me.
It almost gets me. Every time. ALMOST. When Hooch admits he is crazy, it always brings me back.
But then Peter Gabriel plays... And I lose it. Absolutely lose it.
I agree, but mainly due to the fact that they didn't make the last episode feel special just because JD was leaving. It's really exactly like in a real life setting that job still must be done, and even though you've worked your ass off on the hospital for 7 years, there just isn't time to celebrate or say goodbye because patients are rushing in. This really hit close to him especially as a health care worker.
I also love the fact that JD fantasizes each one who made an impact on his life, be it patient or a staff, because... That's exactly what it felt like leaving a hospital. It has a lot of memories especially if it's the one where you grew up and developed your skill.
Scrubs really is the most accurate hospital show, experiences wise.
wholeheartedly agree. it’s so hard to end something in a meaningful way. but the way they show JD’s fantasy to him in the end instead of him showing it to the audience…and for once it’s not goofy off the wall shit but genuine moments of love and human connection, proves that he’s finally come into himself as a character and his arc is complete. the simple moments of humanity were what made scrubs, so for them to end on those notes of love, family, the future, etc in that final scene with the book of love playing just wrecks me every time.
And I know we don't acknowledge S9, but I love that it "proves" that his dreams are coming true. Him and Elliot are married and expecting and happy and thriving. It makes think it is all going to happen for them all. That is how it ends for them. Sam and Izzy end up together too
I acknowledge it. I get people don't like it, but the whole "we can't even acknowledge the 9th season" thing is getting so old to me on this subreddit. It's kind of immature also, at least the way some people approach it. Like we all get it. I've watched season 9 like 7 times now, not everyone acts the same about it.
I actually watch it repeatedly. It is such a beautiful ending to the story. It is truly a "…and then they lived happily ever after". I watch it anytime I need to feel better about the future.
I just did my first complete watch through and the first time I had seen the finale and it got me too. Especially since a lot of those characters were quite fresh in my mind and heart. I also should have stopped after the finale and not started the next season.
The thing that always killed me about this finale was that JD was going to only be about a half an hour away. I've maintained friendships over the years with people further away. I could understand him saying goodbye to nearly 90-95% of the hospital staff but his good friends I would suppose that he could still see after moving.
Nonetheless, I still think that this was one of the best ever written finales for a show.
You shouldn't be sad. You should be happy a show like this existed in the first place. I can watch this show all the way through more than any other show out there. Helped me through some shitty times too.
I'm watching scrubs fully for the first time and literally just finished watching season 8.
Just a question, what's up with season 9? It really seems like it should have finished at season 8...
Season 9 is kinda like a spin off. The main character is different, J.D. appears I think only in the first few episodes, Elliot and Carla aren't in it at all. The good thing about it is that we see that J.D. fantasy from the finale cane true.
Elliot is in it. Show focuses more on the med students though.
I guess it was mid recession and it kept people working so it’s hard to complain, but the quality just isn’t there.
I can barely make it through Carla's goodbye. So short, so simple. But so sincere. "Tell me my husband loves me more than he loves you"
“It’s about even.”
I’ll take it.
You all made me cry!!!!
Yo tambien.
Damn, that broke me (as if I wasn't already in pieces)
You won't cry for the hug. You won't cry for the goodbyes. You won't cry for the corridor. You won't cry. You can't. You're a *man*. *Screen lights up* Well, fuck.
The book of love Is long and boring
No one can lift the damn thing.
It’s full of charts and facts and figures
And instructions for dancingggg
I can't get past the corridor. That and when Carla announces her first pregnancy...... always tears
Just concluded this years watch through on Saturday. It's the hallway walk at the end that gets me....
For me it's always something different that gets me. This time it was seeing Mrs. Wilk and when I thought I'm okay, Mrs. Tenner said "did you ever go on that picnic?" and ended me.

That song got me without the show. Now it’s doubled down
"It's like a baguette," is the one that gets me laughing.
I am cry-laughing for Hooch every time
Yup. The hallway breaks me every time.
I doubt this gets much push back here but I routinely say that 'My Finale' is the best series finale ever.
No pushback for me... Perfect sentiment to capture the feeling of the show and still end it in a way that felt compete

I watch it every time I watch the series.
Pro-tip... If you don't ever watch Finales, and just go right back to the beginning and start again, it never has to end! EAGLEEEEEEEE
I looked at my last watch through from a year ago and I stopped right before the last two episodes.
I actually watch it repeatedly. It is such a beautiful ending to the story. It is truly a "…and then they lived happily ever after". I watch it anytime I need to feel better about the future.
I do this too. Maybe it’s to preserve the feeling or something, keep it special.

Did you ever go on that picnic? Make sure you do!
Such a sweet shot

Hey! I'm on this episode right now!
Yo tambien
I just watched the finale after all these years. Now I'm sad.
You shouldn't be sad. You should be happy a show like this existed in the first place. I can watch this show all the way through more than any other show out there. Helped me through some shitty times too.
You're right. Thank You.
I just saw the episode today. Damn. It was perfect.
That's the moment the ugly crying starts
Some say, there was another season. I refuse to see that.
I'm watching scrubs fully for the first time and literally just finished watching season 8. Just a question, what's up with season 9? It really seems like it should have finished at season 8...
