The beloved comedy Scrubs is back with a new season, premiering February 25th on ABC, thanks to its original creator, Bill Lawrence. This ninth season promises plenty of laughs while continuing the show’s tradition of exploring relatable life questions, such as the one faced by Dr. Cox: knowing when it’s time to move on, as John C. McGinley explains.
In a recent interview with MovieWeb, actor John McGinley revealed what viewers can expect from his character, Dr. Cox, in the show’s revival.
John C. McGinley believes the most important takeaway from this situation is that Cox has realized his time is up. He emphasizes that this realization is significant.
Judy Reyes: “And a huge reality to tackle in this day and age. We see it with you.”
John C. McGinley was discussing LeBron James’ recent game in Cleveland and whether it might be his last time playing there. James gave an unclear response when asked about his future. McGinley then related this to his own career, saying it’s difficult to know when it’s time to stop, because everyone wants to stay active and engaged, but time is always a factor.
The biggest mystery now is how the other doctors will react to their mentor being gone and having to continue his work. It’s also a little unsettling to imagine what someone as strict as Dr. Cox will do with all his free time in retirement. Considering his whole life has been dedicated to Sacred Heart and his patients, it’s hard to picture him adjusting to a new chapter.
‘Scrubs’ Has Always Had a Big Heart
At its core, Scrubs has always been about the ups and downs of being human – both in the hospital and in life. The upcoming revival will follow our favorite characters as they grapple with a challenge everyone faces in their career: knowing when it’s time to move on. Seeing Dr. Cox confront this decision will likely be emotional for viewers, but it will also be classic Scrubs – expect plenty of humor alongside the heartfelt moments. Critics are already praising the revival, which isn’t surprising given that most of the original cast is returning, honoring the show’s spirit even while sadly missing Sam Lloyd.
