Everyone's favorite fake doctors have almost finished rewatching the entire early 2000’s medical comedy Scrubs and want their listeners to help them decide what to watch next.
As Zach Braff and Donald Faison begin to wrap up the sixth season of Scrubs, they are brainstorming ways to continue their podcast past the show's finale.
“I don’t mean to express concern, but we’re running out of episodes of the show Donald,” said Braff. “I don’t want the podcast to be over. It’s too much fun.”
Fake Doctors Real Friends with Zach and Donald began in March 2020 as a way for the two actors to revisit one of their most successful projects ever. The podcast was one of the first celebrity hosted rewatch podcasts on the market, and will be the one of the first to decide what happens when its hosts finish their rewatch.
“Why don’t we just start all over?” Faison asked. “Can’t we just start all over?”
While the idea of the two re-watching the entire show over again sounded like a funny bit, Braff and Faison are seriously considering what TV show they should cover. The ideal show would be a half hour comedy similar to the tone of Scrubs.
“I’d rather do Community, which some people have said is very Scrubs-esque, or Parks and Recreation,” said Braff. “I’ve never seen a single episode of either show and people think they are funny.”
Braff asked podcast producer Joelle Monique if they could come up with a list of six possible shows to watch and then break down the pilot episodes like they have been doing with Scrubs. Fans could then vote on which show they liked the most and help Braff and Faison decide what they are doing next.
“I want the audience to be a part of this because at the end of the day they are the ones that will be listening,” said Faison. “We do have a say though.”
