“We Were Sort of All Exhausted by It.” Zach Braff Revealed That the Cast of Scrubs Felt Burned Out During the Filming of the Final Season

As a gamer with a deep appreciation for good television, I can confidently say that “Scrubs” was not just a laugh-out-loud sitcom, but also a realistic portrayal of hospital life. However, after nine years on air, even the most dedicated doctors need a break – and it seems the cast of Scrubs were no exception. The final season, while still entertaining, felt like a repetition of old jokes as the actors were exhausted from the grueling filming hours.


The comedy show “Scrubs” was both entertaining and known for its realism in portraying the lives of doctors. Consequently, it stayed popular for a long time, spanning over nine years and resulting in nine separate seasons on television.

Although this series isn’t the longest running on television, particularly in the medical genre, it still managed an extended run. Interestingly, as the show progressed, it seemed to exhaust the actors involved, who were feeling drained during the filming of the final season. Zach Braff discussed this fatigue during his appearance on the Inside of You podcast (as reported by Variety).

After nine years had passed, we found ourselves rather drained by the experience. It seemed as though we were running out of fresh ideas and jokes, repeating ourselves. Everyone was feeling quite spent. […] We put in such grueling hours that are scarcely seen today. Our lives beyond it were minimal or non-existent.

After a span of nine years, it seemed fitting that the “Scrubs” TV show should conclude. Prolonging its run might not have been beneficial once the cast started losing enthusiasm for the production, as it could potentially compromise the high-quality reputation this sitcom has consistently earned.

It’s possible that the popular sitcom “Scrubs” could make a comeback following a 12-year hiatus. The show’s creator, Bill Lawrence, has hinted for some time that there may be plans to deliver something exciting to fans. Moreover, it seems that the cast is also keen on reprising their roles, having had ample time away from the series, they are now ready to grace our screens once more and bring laughter into living rooms across the globe.
