Early in the first episode of the Scrubs<\/em> revival, Dr John Dorian jumps onto Dr Christopher Turk for a piggyback ride down the corridor of Sacred Heart Hospital like nothing has changed in over a decade. But a lot has.<\/p>\n \u201cThey\u2019re still 12 years old every time they\u2019re together, but they\u2019re also still both leading very big, responsible adult lives,\u201d says Bill Lawrence, the show\u2019s creator, who has returned for the revival. \u201cIt just felt like it was time to revisit the old gang.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cWe were new, and we were scared as interns and scared in this new element of medicine and insecure and unsure of what we were doing,\u201d says Sarah Chalke, who plays Dr Elliot Reid. \u201cSo to get to come back, we really have grown and really become great leaders and great teachers.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\nFor one, Turk, now a father of four, suffers from sciatica<\/span>, cutting the tomfoolery short as they tumble to the ground. And, two, Dorian needs reading glasses. Turns out plenty has changed in the 16 years since the end of Scrubs<\/em> season nine in 2010.<\/div>\nNow streaming on Hulu and Disney+<\/span>, Scrubs<\/em> picks up with the same characters all these years later, but this time, in addition to some physical wear and tear, the one-time interns are the teachers to a group of rookie doctors.<\/div>\n
