The ninth and final season of the American [[comedy]] television series ''[[Scrubs (TV series)|Scrubs]]'' (also known as ''Scrubs: Med School'') premiered on [[American Broadcasting Company|ABC]] on December 1, 2009 and concluded on March 17, 2010 and consists of 13 episodes. This season marked a major change in the series; it takes place at a different location<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.digitalspy.com/ustv/news/a161197/creator-new-scrubs-not-set-in-hospital.html|title=Creator: New 'Scrubs' not set in hospital|website=DigitalSpy.com|accessdate=June 21, 2009}}</ref> and only three of the seven main characters from the first eight seasons remained as regular main characters. The rest of the cast is made up of new recruits, including Lucy, played by [[Kerry Bishé]], who is also the show's new narrator. Former star [[Zach Braff]] returned for six episodes of the season.

The new season focuses on students at a [[med school]] at the fictional Winston University, rather than interns at a hospital. Doctors [[Perry Cox]] and [[Christopher Turk]], played by [[John C. McGinley]] and [[Donald Faison]] respectively, returned as teachers. The show's filming location moved from the [[North Hollywood Medical Center]] to sets at [[Culver Studios]]. The series takes place at the new Sacred Heart Hospital, located on the Winston University campus.

The season takes place over a year after the events of the last episode of [[Scrubs (season 8)|the eighth season]], "[[My Finale]]", which was expected to be the last episode and ended many of the series' long-running storylines. However, [[Bill Lawrence (producer)|Bill Lawrence]] was approached concerning more episodes, and as a result, the show entered its ninth season.

[[Review aggregator]] [[Metacritic]] found critical reception to the new format to be "generally positive" and assigned an average score of 64/100, though reviews were varied, with the ''[[Chicago Sun Times]]'' calling the season "promising", but ''[[USA Today]]'' dismissing it as a "deal-driven mistake".<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.metacritic.com/tv/scrubs/season-9|title=Scrubs Season Nine reviews|website=Metacritic.com|accessdate=April 25, 2010}}</ref> The season nonetheless saw ''Scrubs'' receive its lowest-ever ratings, with an average of 3.79 million tuning in,<ref>{{cite web|url=http://tvbythenumbers.zap2it.com/2010/06/16/final-2009-10-broadcast-primetime-show-average-viewership/54336|title=Final 2009–10 Broadcast Primetime Show Average Viewership|first=Bill|last=Gorman|work=TV by the Numbers|date=June 16, 2010|accessdate=June 19, 2010}}</ref> down from 5.61 million the previous season (though the show's overall ranking had improved).<ref name="NineRanking">{{cite web|url=http://www.abcmedianet.com/web/dnr/dispDNR.aspx?id=052709_07 |title=Season Program Rankings |date=May 27, 2009 |website=abcmedianet.com |publisher=ABC Television Network |accessdate=May 27, 2009 |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://www.webcitation.org/5iwEcAyP4?url=http://www.abcmedianet.com/web/dnr/dispDNR.aspx?id=052709_07 |archivedate=August 11, 2009 |df= }}</ref>

Zach Braff announced on March 22, 2010 via [[Facebook]] that it appeared that ''Scrubs'' would not be renewed for a tenth season.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.facebook.com/permalink.php?story_fbid=106929062660571&id=99806535469 |title=Scrubs Cancelled – Zach Braff |accessdate=March 22, 2010 |date=March 22, 2010 |publisher=Zach Braff |via=Facebook}}</ref> On May 14, 2010, ABC announced the show was canceled.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.tvguide.com/News/Scrubs-FlashForward-Canceled-1018433.aspx|title=ABC Cancels Scrubs, FlashForward, Romantically Challenged and Better Off Ted|accessdate=May 14, 2010|date=May 14, 2010|work=TV Guide}}</ref>

==Background==
The eighth season was expected to be the last for ''[[Scrubs (TV series)|Scrubs]]'', but in May 2009, [[American Broadcasting Company|ABC]] announced that the series had been renewed for an additional 13 episodes.<ref name="nj.com">{{Cite web|url=http://www.nj.com/entertainment/tv/index.ssf/2009/08/scrubs_creator_previews_next_s.html|title='Scrubs' creator previews next season – Sepinwall on TV|website=NJ.com|accessdate=August 13, 2009}}</ref> [[John C. McGinley]] and [[Donald Faison]] signed one-year deals and were the only cast members to stay on as regulars. [[Zach Braff]] appeared in six episodes to assist in transitioning the show, while [[Sarah Chalke]] signed on to guest star in four episodes throughout the season. [[Ken Jenkins]] appeared in nine episodes, and [[Neil Flynn]], who was also busy with his new show ''[[The Middle (TV series)|The Middle]]'', appeared in a single scene in the season's first episode. [[Judy Reyes]] was the only original cast member to not return,<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/10/16/bill-lawrence-judy-reyes-wont-appear-in-season-nine-and-other/|title=Bill Lawrence: Judy Reyes won't appear in season nine, and other Scrubs news|website=TVSquad.com|accessdate=October 16, 2009}}</ref> after declining to appear in a recurring guest role as she only wanted to return full-time.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.latina.com/blogs/vivo-por-tivo/judy-reyes-turns-down-offer-guest-star-scrubs |title=Judy Reyes Turns Down An Offer to Guest Star on "Scrubs" |website=Latina.com |first=Lee |last=Hernandez |date=December 1, 2009 |accessdate=April 25, 2012}}</ref> [[Eliza Coupe]], who portrayed [[Denise Mahoney]] beginning in season eight, became a series regular, along with new cast members [[Kerry Bishé]], [[Michael Mosley (actor)|Michael Mosley]] and [[Dave Franco]].<ref>{{Cite press|url=http://www.thefutoncritic.com/news/2009/10/30/abc-announces-the-season-premieres-of-scrubs-and-better-off-ted-33277/20091030abc03/|title=ABC Announces the Season Premieres of "Scrubs" and "Better Off Ted" |website=The Futon Critic |publisher=ABC|date=October 30, 2009|accessdate=January 4, 2011}}</ref>

Lawrence considered the eighth season to be the end of the show ''Scrubs'', going so far as to ask ABC if he could change the name to ''Scrubs Med''.<ref name="nj.com"/> ABC declined, but Lawrence still advised fans to treat it as a new show, even putting a caption under the "Created By" on the [[X-ray]] in the opening sequence saying [Med School].

==Production==
Show creator [[Bill Lawrence (producer)|Bill Lawrence]] wanted to change the name of the show to ''Scrubs Med'', but ABC did not allow this. The setting shifted from the original hospital building to a new Sacred Heart medical school and university campus, with shooting locations moving to Culver Studios.<ref name="nj.com"/> Executive producers [[Neil Goldman and Garrett Donovan]], and [[Bill Callahan (producer)|Bill Callahan]] departed from the series and were replaced by Jonathan Groff, [[Zach Braff]], and [[Josh Bycel]], who also served as the co-showrunner, alongside creator/executive producer Bill Lawrence who was doing double duty at the time with both ''Scrubs'' and his new show ''[[Cougar Town]]''.

Every writer from previous seasons departed from the show with the exception of Lawrence and Andy Schwartz. Sean Russell returned to write a freelance episode, just as he had done previously in [[Scrubs (season 6)|season 6]].
