I liked season 9 too and agree that it was finding its footing and believe it would’ve gotten there if they were given more time. I also feel like I’m in a minority about the whole spinoff vs not a spinoff thing. I understood what it was whether you called it Scrubs or something else and am a little baffled at how upset people got over that aspect.

Scrubs starts off with our protagonist and his two close peers get their first jobs out of med school, and in that state they're still a little bit goofy and childish and flawed and have a lot of growing to do.

So we start the spinoff (which it IS, even if it's shipped as Season 9 of the original) with our new primary cast just starting med school, so they should be even less mature and even more flawed, which they are. They're kind of miserable to be around so the audience finds it difficult to be on their side when they make those growth moments, you'd rather zip tie them to an old door and abandon them somewhere above the tree line.

They didn't have time before the season was over to really make many of those strides, especially given the screen time given to JD and company.
