I emailed this thread to Joelle, the podcast producer and she wrote back saying she loved all the specific memories of people identifying with it and she had forwarded to both Zach and Donald to check out.

Oh wow cool..... I met Donald Faison I wonder if he remembers it. I mean it was VERY specific occasion.


So we used to have friends that shared a double suite at the old Texas Stadium where the Cowboys used to play. And they never used it for T-giving games so they gave us their half of the tickets every year. So this would have been 2007 and we were in our suite before the game and everyone in the stands in that end at least were turning around and gawking and looking into the suite above us. We could not see it of course so we asked people in the section just beneath us and they said Jessica Simpson was up there. Word had leaked that she was dating Romo and sure enough she was there for that game.

So we had a plan at halftime to go up there, using all the kids we had as an excuse to meet Jessica Simpson. We had probably 11 kids in the suite including my 2. So we went up there and I actually knocked on the door and this woman answered who someone in our group (who followed celeb gossip) recognized as Jessica's personal assistant and best friend Cacee Cobb. She may have in fact been dating Donald Faison by then I'm not sure. But they knew each other for sure. They later got married.

We asked if Jessica could just come say hi to the kids....she said she wasn't sure but she would ask. She came back a minute later and said Jessica would but it would be quick because she wanted to see Kelly Clarkson's hafltime show which would be starting soon. As she stepped back in Donald Faison came out and said kinda jokingly "hey .... anyone want to meet me???".... it was kinda funny though cuz I can guarantee you none of the kids with us knew who he was and not many of the parents either..... I fortunately recognized him but I am terrible with names especially on the spot like that and I said feigning it off a but "yeah yeah.... you know honey from uhhh Remember the Titans..... and uhhh Scrubs". He kinda sheepishly said "yeah I'm Donald Faison" and shook hands etc... we took a quick picture with him but nobody else took him up on it. He said "well I guess you just want to meet Jessica she'll be right out... she's actually touching up her makeup and sent me out to stall" and laughed.

He went back in and a minute later Jessica came out - all alone - which I thought was cool. She hugged all the kids and took pics with everyone in the hallway behind the suites. To be honest she was really sweet and personable and gracious to all of us. I got a side hug too for a pic with her and my wife and kids and definitely got some side boob contact - yes they were spectacular.

Still have those pics somewhere but I'd have to dig through many boxes. My good friend at the time was a huge Scrubs fan and was very jealous when i showed him the pic with Donald.

Anyway... Donald might remember it being such a specific event.

Having recently started it, I love she calls him Bambi

It is motherly adorableness

He's talked about going to that game on the podcast as being one of the first big things his now wife did for him and it being the first actual NFL game he went to, getting him obsessed with the NFL after.

Oh that's cool. Never heard that. I've watched the show but I don't follow like podcasts or anything. Beat the Jets that day badly.

Hey Zach, Danl, Joelle, and especially Donald!

Du Jour means Hello.

As far as the music goes, they talked about it on the podcast a bit.... Think the episode is115 with Randall Winston. If I recall correctly, the comments of "music rights negotiated before streaming was a thing" is essentially correct. When they produce it for streaming, they had to go back and pay for the musical rights, and they had to make some budget decisions on what to keep and what to cut.

Also, on streaming a couple of the episodes are missing due to use of blackface. Bill Lawrence (show creator) requested they be pulled during the racial unrest earlier this year. He stated that he would like to edit to remove those parts, but due to COVID, etc it was easier to pull them and they will attempt to edit later on. This is also talked about in the podcast as well--another thumbs up--it's a great companion for a rewatch of the show.

Also, I think season 9 gets too much hate. If you look at is as a spinoff, it's not as bad as people make it out to be..... Season 8 wrapped up so perfectly, and many of the actors had started moving on to other projects as ABC didn't commit to another season until very very late. Season 9 wasn't terrible, but it surely wasn't "Scrubs".

Agreed, if you think of season 9 as a separate spin-off show it's decent and seemed to find itself a little at the end. Calling it season 9 after coming off the absolutely perfect series finale in season 8 was just too much for many to look past though.

This is correct - the DVDs and iTunes have all the original songs.

Why don't the streaming ones? Licensing issues?

I would imagine it's the rights holders of the songs and their lawyers being too stupid to realize that having the songs on these shows would lead to good exposure.

I seriously doubt Rhett Miller is sitting somewhere thinking "those *******s from scrubs better not be streaming my song Come Around on Hulu, I only signed off on the broadcast TV rights dammit".

Great thread! I used to love this show. Haven't watched it since it was on TV back in the day.

Its sad, but true.

From all things Scrubs, thetoddtime.com spin-off was and still my all-time favorite.

It's covered earlier in this thread and addressed by Bill Lawrence on the podcast. When the show started, streaming rights weren't a thing people negotiated, so all the rights for that music had to be renegotiated once streaming became a thing. The budget for music was only so big.

Uh or helloooo Doctor!

Weird... GF and I just started watching Scrubs earlier this week.

I liked some of the interns that were set up in S8 but I think they're mostly gone by S9? (I heeded everyone's advice and stopped at the end of 8)
