10 Bad Seasons Of Otherwise Great TV Shows
7. Scrubs - Season 9
Like How I Met Your Mother, Scrubs was clearly meant to end in its eighth season, and yet for some inexplicable reason, the network ordered another one.
While just about every storyline is wrapped up in the Season 8 finale, a perfect ending to the show, ABC ordered an additional 13 episodes. so now Season 9 exists, and it will never go away. It's a really weird stretch consisting mostly of new cast members, with Zach Braff only appearing in the first six episodes.
The season revolves around students at a med school, taking place in a whole new location and with only Turk and Dr. Cox appearing as teachers. The creator actually wanted to call the show Scrubs Med, making it a spinoff series rather than an actual season. That would have been fine, and in that case it would have just been a pretty uninteresting spinoff to a great show.
But instead, viewers get a season finale that completely wraps up everything, and then 13 additional episodes that add nothing to the series whatsoever. Not the best way to go out.
