They should have moved the characters on, and explored a more serious avenue for them. That would have been actually interesting. You know, the way life actually goes? Yeah, they were young doctors, playing pranks etc. But, now they're more serious, but still occasionally funny. It didn't need to be the same show, and shoudn't be.
When Futurama comes back around again, we expect the characters to be the same, and up to the same antics, because, surprise, cartoon characters don't need to age, and it doesn't work when they try it.
They could have built a medical dramady around these characters, but they took the "safe" route, and now they'll be gone in a season or two.
Oh hell no. It doesn’t and shouldn’t be a “dramady”. There’s a billion serious medical shows, scrubs should stay a goofy ass comedy because sometimes peoples just need a freaking laugh
They literally did. That was the crux of the 9th season. It flopped and the series was cancelled.
That's always been the formula for these revivals. They spend half the budget on promotion, churn out 8-12 episodes, and then throw the concept back into the garbage bin.
I'm amazed they haven't tried to revive Friends yet, using this model.
