The Scrubs revival is officially gaining momentum, with Neil Flynn and Christa Miller confirmed to return to Sacred Heart Hospital—or whatever they're calling it this time around.

Flynn, who played the endlessly tormenting Janitor, and Miller, who portrayed the sardonic Dr. Jordan Sullivan, join what's becoming a full-scale reunion for the beloved medical comedy. Deadline reports that the new series will blend returning cast members with fresh faces, presumably to capture both nostalgia and new viewers.

Here's my question: should they?

Don't get me wrong—I love Scrubs. It's one of the smartest, most emotionally honest comedies of the 2000s, balancing absurdist humor with genuine pathos in ways that Grey's Anatomy wishes it could manage. The show earned its place in the sitcom canon.

But revivals are a tricky business. For every Cobra Kai that finds new life by genuinely reimagining its premise, there are a dozen disappointments that coast on recognition without recapturing the magic. Scrubs already had a questionable final season (the infamous "Med School" year that everyone pretends didn't happen). Do we really need to tempt fate again?

The original show worked because it captured a specific moment in these characters' lives—young doctors figuring out who they were, professionally and personally. Zach Braff's J.D. was a manchild slowly growing into competence. Sarah Chalke's Elliot was a neurotic mess learning confidence. Those arcs had natural endpoints.

What story do you tell about these people 15 years later? Are they disillusioned attending physicians? Hospital administrators dealing with insurance bureaucracy? That's real, certainly, but it's not necessarily what made Scrubs magical.

That said, Bill Lawrence is still involved as a producer, and he's proven with Ted Lasso that he still knows how to balance heart and humor. If anyone can pull off a Scrubs revival that feels organic rather than mercenary, it's him.

The cast reunion is heartening. Flynn and Miller were always scene-stealers, and seeing them return suggests this is more than just a cynical IP cash-grab. There's genuine affection for this show among everyone involved.

But affection isn't the same as necessity. The best thing about Scrubs was that it ended (mostly) on its own terms, delivering a series finale that gave its characters meaningful closure. Reopening those doors means risking what they've already achieved.

Still, I'll watch. Of course I'll watch. I'm part of the problem.
