    Let’s just let the good things be good?

    Could we at least get the original music in the reruns first? What about resyndicating it first?

    I guess if the original show runner is doing it, maybe it won’t be awful, but you can’t expect the original magic to not be forced or tainted.

    honestly, braff made this series. he was a huge part of the draw for me… the self-deprecation… the voice-overs. i cannot imagine this being any good without some of those braff-specific factors.

    dont get me wrong, the rest of the cast really made this show great also. i hope they keep the same theme going but with them as a matured clinical staff

      It sounds like Braff is ready to revisit the show for a season or two, per the article, but I also think most TV is lightning in a bottle. There’s no formula for recapturing the magic, eve if you do put all the pieces back together.

      If they were to do what they’d originally wanted with S9 it could even be a decent starting point for a new series. I can’t imagine Zach or Donald turning this down, they’re still hosting their podcast

      Who knows if it will be any good, but I’ll give it a shot

    Hear me out.

    Donald Faison is the new Dr. Cox. Turk has gone through a lot and has come out as mean as the original.

    He’s tormenting the newbies because ‘that’s how I cam up.’
