I liked season 9. Not as much as the rest of the show, but it was good. It was just a different show at that point. It should have been a spin-off instead of a new season.

If I remember correctly, this was also around the writer's strike and they wanted to do another season to make sure the people working to produce the show could still make money.

My understanding is that Bill Lawrence, the creator of the show, planned it as a spin-off, but ABC didn't want that. It's why it was also called "Scrubs: Med School" in some places.

The wiki goes into it a bit, but definitely a separate thing in my opinion - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scrubs_season_9

Scrubs: Med School is an okay name for a spinoff. It's in the same continuity and the same characters exist.
