Bill Lawrence, creator of the sitcom Scrubs, previously voiced strong reservations about bringing back the show. He worried any revival would fail to recapture the original magic and might seem like a money grab.
In comments from a 2018 reunion panel, Lawrence described the original run as the best time in his life. He said, 'You can never equal that experience.' He added that he would do anything to work again with the cast and writers but only under specific circumstances like financial need.
