Summary
With theScrubsshowrunner confirming the show is go to be revived , I ca n’t help but get frantic about the return of my preferent sitcom , but there ’s a piece of trivia surrounding Dr. Percival " Perry " Cox that will also make me feel ancient whenScrubseventually return to screens . John C. McGinley wreak the disruptive but smart as a whip physicianinall nine seasons ofScrubs , so I ’m almost sure he ’ll be part of the coming revival . He was easily the most skilled ofall the doctors inScrubs , as evidence by his eventual ascension to Chief of Medicine in season 8 .
The show was delete afterScrubs9 ’s failed reimagining of its formulain 2010 . So , by the time of the sitcom ’s rejoinder , I cerebrate it ’s safe to say that at least fifteen year will have passed since the terminal episode aired . Thesemi - confirmedScrubsrevivalwill obviously need to report for this sentence jump , and I ’m looking forth to see how the life history of all the characters have progressed in that time . What I ’m not anticipating with quite so much joy is confronting my age when the novel tale begin .
Zach Braff directed some of the most memorable Scrubs episodes during his time on the show and is responsible for some of the most iconic moments .
Scrubs' Dr. Cox Will Be Older In The Revival Than Dr. Kelso In The Original Show’s Pilot
John C. McGinley is in his mid-60s
WhenScrubsfirst ventilate in October 2001,Dr . Bob Kelso actor Ken Jenkins was 63 years onetime . At the fourth dimension , I see him as an old(ish ) man , but part because his experience massively preponderate everyone else ’s at Sacred Heart Hospital . At the same sentence , John C. McGinley was 42 , so I ’d imagine Dr. Cox was roughly the same age . My percept of metre took on a young understanding when I realized that whenScrubsreturns , Dr. Cox will be even Old than Kelso was when the sitcom began .
The revival could still be a few days away , which would make me even more aware of the Kelso / Cox eld comparison whenScrubseventually resumes .
McGinley is now 65 , which means Dr. Cox ’s years will also be roughly in line with that when McGinley inevitably reprises the function . Despite showrunnerBill Lawrence confirming he ’s " Definitely going to " reviveScrubs , he has n’t provide a definitive timeline . For line of reasoning ’s sake , ifScrubsseason 10 were to begin a yr from now , then that would place Dr. Cox even more firmly into his mid - 1960s . However , the resurgence could still be a few years forth , which would make me even more cognizant of the Kelso / Cox historic period comparability whenScrubseventually re-start .
Scrubs is a Sitcom and Medical Comedy/Drama created by Bill Lawrence that follows a group of medical students throughout their daily lives at the Sacred Heart Teaching Hospital. The series stars Zach Braff, Sarah Chalke, and Donald Faison, as they work their way up from Medical Interns while juggling all sorts of hospital shenanigans.
Ken Jenkins is currently 83 years older but has n’t work since 2019 .
Dr. Cox’s Age Opens The Door For Scrubs' New Perfect Ending
Cox could retire as Chief of Medicine in the Scrubs revival
I always wantedScrubsto end with JD as the Chief of Medicine and Turk as the Chief of Surgery . I loved watching them rise through the rank together , so it felt like a natural conclusion to their intertwined friendly relationship and professional moral force . AlthoughTurk endsScrubs ' original run as the Chief of Surgery , JD leave the hospital completely . I consent it for what it was , as Dr. Cox had only just become Chief , and he definitely deserved the title . Thankfully , the massive time saltation that ’s on the way of life sets up the finale I always want .
I ca n’t imagine a creation where McGinley is n’t brought back to bring Dr. Cox to life history again , but the fact remains that his character will already be the same age as Kelso was when he retired as Chief of Medicine .
I ca n’t conceive of a universe where McGinley is n’t bring back to bestow Dr. Cox to aliveness again , but the fact remains that his graphic symbol will already be the same geezerhood as Kelso was when he retired as Chief of Medicine . So , Cox ’s time as the Sacred Heart knob may be short - live in theScrubsrevival . Depending on how longScrubs ' retort lasts , McGinley ’s character could mistreat down as Chief , meaning JD could inherit the theatrical role . Even if Braff ’s character still is n’t working at Sacred Heart in the revival , this would surely be enough to bring him back for unspoilt .
Another Scrubs Timeline Detail Highlights How Long The Show Has Been Off The Air
All the kids in Scrubs will now be teenagers
I ’d be surprised ifScrubsseason 10 did n’t align itself with the genuine - world timeline . If so , then 15 + years will have passed for the character as well as the consultation . Because they ’re not in every episode , I often blank out about JD ’s childrenand Turk ’s as well . Both characters ' eldest have already appeared inScrubsas very young babies , butScrubs9confirms Turk has had a 2nd tiddler , and Elliot is pregnant with JD ’s second - although neither new baby urinate an appearing . Terrifyingly , all four infants will be at least in their mid - teens inScrubsseason 10 .
Showrunner Bill Lawrence ’s promise of a Scrubs comeback needs to navigate a problem that ’s arisen since the situation comedy ’s original stop in 2010 .
I want to see how the kids have grown and the young people they ’ve become , but it ’s still another unsettling reminder of how long it ’s been sinceScrubswas last an combat-ready situation comedy . It’ll also be interesting to see the parents JD and Turk have rise intosince I envision them last . To name Dr. Cox again , his children will also be of a similar age , and I ca n’t hold back to see how they all interact in theScrubsrevival and whether their parents ' human relationship with one another will influence their various moral force .
