Elder millenials that don’t care about this generational fuckery represent!
(oh crap I used elder millenial unironically am I part of the problem AHHHH!)
I thought they were calling us late-model Gen Xers now. Or Oregon trail Generation.
(only barely tangential to your point but) I mean, I also played the Oregon Trail and I’m definitely a younger millennial.
I’m not gonna gatekeep, but was it on a floppy drive? We played it in school on 5.24” floppies.
I recently played a Floppotron video for my 7 year old and he was skeptical that computers sounded like that when games loaded.
We didn’t even get into the 14.4 modem sounds it took to see a webpage.
Edit: Oops I meant 5.25”, but TIL apparently actually 5.1”. Fun fact I learned back in college, is that CDRs fit into 5.25” floppies if you cut a slit and remove the disc.
Ah; you have a fair point, there. I’ve never used a 5.24". I actually didn’t know it was released on those.

Haha; I know I’m biased since, as a developer and someone interested in computers, I’m also more aware (even if I’ve never used) of older tech. but it is incredible just how much things have changed.
bobo kelso!!
I’m okay with a generation not instinctively crowd-funding a Zach Braff project.
I’m out of the loop. What’s up with Zach Braff?
I don’t remember specifics but when Kickstarter was in its infancy Zach Braff had a couple kickstarters for his movies. They weren’t themselves offensive. It’s just that using a crowdfunding platform which, at the time at least, were mostly for people who had zero access to capital when you’re a multimillionaire with Hollywood connections to capital is a bit gauche.
I threw in $100 for a Zach Braff movie. I got to be an extra (they fed us ribs for lunch), 2 t-shirts, then got 2 tickets for a sneak preview with free drinks and popcorn, and a q&a with Zach and Donald Faison…worth every penny, unlike the poor saps that have $1 million to solar freakin roadways.
Genuinely, neat. I wonder how that all financially played out. It was probably mostly a tax deduction. (not that it was bad, but just to point at how the rich have faaaaaar more financial tools to motivate people than those who would ACTUALLY benefit from having access to such things)
During the q&a someone asked about it. His first movie, Garden State basically got bankrolled by some rich dentist that he knew… He said the normal way of financing movies lets a bunch of rich people get to take control of the script, who you cast, what scenes make it in… Basically everything.
He wanted to retain the control he had first time around to make his next movie, so he crowd funded it… And seeing how many movies get made by talented people that end up being garbage because money men think they know everything and fuck it up… Seemed reasonable 😏
Scrubs was a special show. Some times woke and some times a product if it’s times. Meaning gay jokes cause guys hug. Super fun and then they hit you with that real real. Sorry Dr Kelso is so mean because he needs to keep this big ship running. It doesn’t work out good all the time but he tries.I liked the later seasons when Dr Cox was in charge and when he went through his alcohol problems. I even like the last season. It was different but it was still a good show.
“where do you think we are?”
Probably one of my all time favorites moments in television.

I have a 14 year old who loves scrubs, Brooklyn 99 and the office. Im proud dad
Now the question is when you’re going to introduce them to 30 Rock. Are they ready for that level of jokes-per-minute? What about Community?
Never heard of it until now. I assume this refers to the “2001-2010 American medical comedy-drama” show.
For the record I more or less fit into the late millennial generation.
Yeah that makes sense, the biggest crowd that watched it was probably the Millennials born 1981-1992. By the time I started watching it, I was in high school & it was wrapping up. But some of my cousins were in college when it came out.
What do you define as late millennial? Because as someone born toward the tail end of the millennials I feel like while I didn’t personally watch it on tv I heard about it a ton and then as an adult I did a binge watch of it
I mean born into the mid-90s. I was a child - early teenager when this aired.
I was like “awesome! It was so funny and would be great to see a modern version of it!” And the I found out that it is a canonical continuation of the story and immediately got disappointed.
Hollywood, listen. When something old was really good and you want to make more money off of it, take the idea that made it good and stop reviving the dead just to be surprised that it sucks.
A new scrubs with a completely different set of people and story with just the key idea there would actually be awesome. Just remember how well the last season was accepted 😒
There was no last season, lalala not listening.
A scrub is a guy that can’t get no love
Now I just feel like you’re quoting TLC!?
Do me a favour, don’t go chasing waterfalls.
The Scrubs reboot is as far away from the OG as the Brady Bunch was from the 90s movie.
I wish I had the fond memories for this show that others do. My sibling wanted to get into medicine and would binge medical shows at home all the time. This was the first one. A few episodes is fine. But having this run 8 hours a day non-stop just made me hate this show. It’s way too formulaic to binge like that.
I don’t think there are many shows I can take more than 4 episodes at one time. I remember visiting my cousin, and when I was leaving we watched Arrested Development until it was time to go to the airport. I found it funny and was enjoying it, but by hour 3 I was done and have never been able to get into it since.
Man, I hope it’s good. Scrubs is my favorite non-scifi show. I want to buy the whole thing on bluray/dvd but right now I can’t find the whole thing. Some people, when you say “Eagle,” think the bird. Some people think “USA”. I think about Turk and JD.
can’t find dvds
There’s another option.
I wish they would do an HD release of the show. NBC only ordered it as an SD show for most of the series, because that was the era of the transition and only some shows were ordered for HD and budgeted to use the HD production equipment. The Director of Photography shot the whole thing on 16mm film, though, and framed everything so there was a 16x9 safe shot in case they ever went back to upgrade it for syndication or home release. “All” it would take is re-scanning the original film into HD and taking the edit list from the original version and applying it to the same timecode.
Is that like a baseball thing?
And that’s why they reboot it
Yep, a built in marketing base of old farts telling young uns how good it is before it even exists.
Much of it doesn’t hold up anymore, so it might be a wise idea. It prolly won’t work, tho.
I never liked this sitcom and prefer the British “Green Wing” instead.
Never seen it but now you’ve peaked my curiosity! I grew up on scrubs so I don’t really have much of a reference point for other shows. Although I’ve heard “The Pitt” is good.
This is the correct answer
…Meanwhile a whole class of 12 yr olds today even know what Brooklyn 99 and community is…
Brooklyn 99 is very recent though, isn’t it? Is it still on the air?
