If you\u2019re a fan of \u201cThe Pitt,\u201d you\u2019ll appreciate the reboot of \u201cScrubs.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Cut from the same cloth, they humanize the world of medicine and, in the case of the latter, let you laugh with and at them depending on the circumstances.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

In the new edition of \u201cScrubs,\u201d J.D. (Zach Braff) returns to Sacred Heart, where one of his concierge patients is admitted. He sees the old gang and realizes the kind of medicine he practices isn\u2019t as rewarding as the kind they encounter. He\u2019s given an offer (in a very heartfelt way) that brings him back into the fold in a teaching position.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\u201cScrubs\u201d stars Sarah Chalke as Elliot Reid, Zach Braff as John “J.D.” Dorian, and Donald Faison as Christopher Turk.<\/p>\n

Now, he\u2019s the one training another generation. The times have changed: An internet influencer is among the mix. When he tries to call her out (the way Dr. Cox did), he\u2019s pulled back by an administrator (Vanessa Bayer) who won\u2019t allow nicknames or sexist behavior. That puts a different spin on \u201cScrubs\u201d and a new way for J.D. and Turk (Donald Faison) to trade barbs. Those interns have distinct personalities and mirror those in \u201cThe Pitt\u201d (and some of the employees in \u201cSt. Denis Medical\u201d).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Braff,\u00a0as director of the first episode, brings back series hallmarks and maintains a sprightly approach that Faison manages to parrot. Elliott (Sarah Chalke)\u00a0doesn\u2019t get as much screen time in the first episodes, but finds her footing eventually.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

While the \u201csensitivity training\u201d tack is difficult to embrace, the veterans manage their way around it and get an antagonist (Joel Kim Booster) who wants to hold the chief of medicine title. Booster is a super addition and a way to keep the two buddies in check.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Stories hit on issues important to health care and let Braff go on flights of fancy that suggest his lot in life isn\u2019t as ideal as it may seem.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

While the janitor (played by Neil Flynn) is missed and The Todd is now called \u201cA\u201d Todd, there are still moments that comfort, particularly in an arena that can often be unsettling.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cScrubs\u201d doesn\u2019t have the same smile-age as \u201cSt. Denis,\u201d but its return provides the same peace of mind that a great doctor can offer.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

As soon as the interns are up to speed, it\u2019s likely this revival could take another turn and give the originals, including a softer Carla (Judy Reyes), the opportunity to scrub in on issues they never considered decades ago.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The reboot of \u201cScrubs\u201d begins its new season Feb. 25 on ABC.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
