    A Dream Finale

    The season finale of Season 8 and possibly the series finale as well was all a scrubs fan could hope, rather dream of.It had all the elements every scrubs episode consists of, JD's ever present goofiness, Dr. Cox's rants, the Janitor acting crazy and JD and turk unable to get enough of each other. The most delightful thing was that all the 7 major characters had their moments as well as some of the minor ones. The last few moments of the episode were memorable and heart warming enough to well up a tear or two and to actually make you wish that this truly was the end to one of the best TV series of all time. Its been a pleasure to watch such a fitting end and all I can hope is that every character finds happiness in the same goofy way JD does in his wonderful dreams. Goodbye.

    I miss this show...

    Greatest finale for the greatest show ever. I've been rewatching Scrubs and it's so consistent from start to finish... they don't make shows like this anymore. I don't count season 9, it should have been a separate spinoff show.

    A perfect ending.

    JD prepares to leave Sacred Heart, but is disappointed when it seems nobody cares.

    This final episode of Scrubs (as we know it) is a perfect sendoff to this fantastic show. Most of the guest stars over the past 8 years appear in one touching scene, as JD reminisces on who he met, love, and lost over his 8 years at Sacred Heart. We also see how Dr. Cox truly feels about JD, Carla's goodbye and how JD thought of her as a teacher, Kelso's departure, and we finally hear the Janitor's real name (or do we?).

    We also see (as one of JD fantasies of course) what the future MAY hold for his friends and those closest to him, although it's not set in stone. But as JD's final thought says, "Who can tell me that my fantasies won't come true, just this once?"

    An astounding season finale, possibly one of the best. BIG thanks and kudos go to Bill Lawrence, the cast and crew, the guest stars, and everyone who made this show what it is. Season 9 has been confirmed, but I highly doubt it will be as good as the last 8, but I hope it will be.

    A beautiful beautiful ending.

    As a scrubs fan I had built up the ending in my mind, imagining a giant excursion that pulled every aspect we love about scrubs into one episode. My expectations were so high in fact, that I was unsure if i could even watch it, but nonetheless i did.

    I sat down and turned on the TV bracing myself for the end, what followed moved me to tears and touched my heart for one last time. It added the drama we all love about scrubs, with the humor, the heartbreak and comedy. Yet at the beginning it felt like any other episode, just your normal fun one but nothing spectacular, I didn't understand. Here I had thought it would be a jam packed adventure, filled to the brim with danger and action. But then half way through when JD says his line about how sometimes we build everything in our mind and the real thing doesn't meet our standards it dawned on me, this was an episode of scrubs.

    Not some gigantic crazy finale but the simple sweet ending of an amazing romance. And as JD walked down the hallway of Sacred Heart for the last time and thought about life and everyone he'd touched, about how what really matters is the friends you have and the people you make laugh, i knew the truth. Scrubs had been in my life so long, it had kept me happy when times where blue, when i had nothing to hold on to, and i finally knew what made it so great. Each of the characters you cherish and feel for, you love them and they in turn brighten your life. There aren't words to describe my feelings, so all I can say is scrubs, you were a friend and more when I needed one.

    So for that, my sincerest thanks to Bill Laurence, Zach Braff, John C. McGinley, Donald Faison, Sarah Chalke, Judy Reyes, Ken Jenkins, Niel Finn aka The Janitor (I don't believe we ever truly learn your name), and the entire cast and crew of all eight seasons of the best comedy show ever born. Take care in whatever path's your lives take you. The future is only as bright as you make it, and perhaps this once, all of our dreams will come true.

    Wow

    Scrubs was a good show, but it had its flaws. Not this finale though. It was just perfect. They managed to make it funny, honest and emotional, without being cheesy.

    Scrubs aside it captured beautifully how sometimes in life you have to move on even though you liked the status quo. It's that feeling of a goodbye, mixed with the hopes for the future. (I know that this sounded like one of JD's narration at the end of an episode)

    Truly an amazing episode!

    • Trivia
      Bill Lawrence: The director is seen as the janitor who wishes J.D. goodnight as he leaves Sacred Heart for the last time.
    • Goofs
      As JD leaves the hospital after watching his "future," he gets into his car and you can clearly hear the engine start. The Prius does not have a conventional starter motor (it is silent), and being a hybrid, the engine should not have started at all.
    • Quotes

      John Dorian: It's never good to live in the past too long. As for the future, thanks to Dan, it didn't seem so scary anymore. It could be whatever I want it to be... Who's to say this isn't what happens? And who's to say my fantasies won't come true just this once?
