The Scrubs revival is juggling too many legacy characters and new interns, and a return for The Janitor risks distracting from the show’s newer storylines. The article argues he should be written out sooner rather than later.
01Summary
- 01Season 2, episode 4 of the Scrubs revival brings back Neil Flynn’s The Janitor and Darcy Michael’s Maintenance Guy.
- 02The article says the pair’s subplot in 'My Chief' is funny but feels out of place amid more serious storylines for J.D., Turk and Perry Cox.
- 03ABC’s reboot has also added new interns including Dashana, Blake and Amara, but they appear only sporadically because of limited screen time.
- 04The story says the revival premiered after ABC announced the reboot and has been a streaming success partly because of the original cast reunion.
02Why it matters
The piece matters because it highlights a common reboot problem: too much reliance on familiar faces can crowd out new characters and storylines. That can affect whether the revival feels fresh enough to last.
