Sexism, homophobia, transphobia all very present and in no way addressed. It was very much a child of the times. Crazy how far we’ve come in such a short time.
You can write jokes about those topics without being those things you know? Sometimes the transphobic writing points out the absurdity of holding such a position.
I think mostly it did but there are definitely things in it that we don’t, and shouldn’t, do any more. But I’m an old dude and I’ve seen a lot of mostly good change over time. Scrubs is just at one of the mileposts, and some of the boundaries it pushed helped us get here.
Honestly, it didn’t age well at all.
Really? Dang, that’s a bummer. I haven’t rewatched it since it originally aired but at the time I thought it was superb.
How so? I remember really liking the older seasons

Exactly. Most good comedy uses that at least occasionally. Look at Always Sunny!
For them to not age well because of sexism/etc, it would have to not be comedically poking those topics.
Oh my god… Shut all the way up.
