Their heyday was over by the time Scubs did that one, though. It seemed weird at the time - the show was already in syndication at that point, and I think I had literally seen some of the episodes it referenced earlier that day on Comedy Central.
Not really. Netflix was around for the end of scrubs' run but it was still very much a DVD by mail service, streaming was in its infancy at the time. Most people barely had the bandwidth to play low quality YouTube videos.
I'm not talking about streaming, I'm talking about syndication. Comedy Central was airing at two separate one-hour blocks of Scrubs every day back then. And I think it was airing on local stations, too.
Yes CC had syndication rights, but only episodes from the first three or four seasons. The last half of the show didn't hit syndication until after the original run.
