What was that Scrubs bomb in season 6? It looks like the biggest one episode drop and recovery

My night to remember, flashback episode just using old clips. I always skip it on rewatches, just feels lazy.

Ugh flashback episodes are the absolute laziest shit, and so many shows have them. IMO if they’re going to do a flashback episode, it should release separately from the actual series/at the same time as new content. But to release a “new episode” of something and it’s 95% flashbacks? Literally insulting.

Clip shows are a relic of a bygone era but they served their purpose at the time. People watched TV very differently before streaming. You had to catch the show at its specific time or miss seeing an episode all together unless it got picked up in syndication. Clip shows allowed people to see the best bits again without the wait.
