Streaming service Hulu has deleted three episodes of the long running medical comedy show Scrubs, because they contain characters dressed in blackface.
The now deleted episodes include Season 3s My Friend the Doctor, and Season 5 episodes My Jiggly Ball and My Chopped Liver. The episodes featured actors Zach Braff, Donald Faison, (who is black) and Sarah Chalke donning blackface for segments of the show. The service removed the episodes at the behest the series producers, ABC Studios, according to The Wrap.
Series creator Bill Lawrence raised the issue of deleting the episodes in a June 23 tweet in which he replied already in the works to a fan who wondered if the episodes would be canned.

I can’t imagine the pablum that entertainment will be when liberals are fine remaking entertainment. I’m glad that I have all I need to entertain myself for the rest of my life.
Insane irrational hysteria.
because no one is allowed to have a sense of humor anymore
Still no calls for Ted and Whoopi to be kicked off their shows.
Slowly morphing into soviet style entertainment is my guess. I never watched Scrubs and have for the most part ended my watching of Hollywood product. The last tv show I watched was Big Bang Theory but stopped about 2 seasons before it ended. The last movie I paid for in theatre was The Last Jedi and that was the last straw for me.
I quit watching tv about 2004. Haven’t missed it.
Going to need a bigger Memory Hole.
I can't remember when Scrubs was on, but I watched a fair amount of episodes during its run. Thought it was pretty funny; don't remember any blackface episodes. I now avoid new shows on general principle. First of all, pretty much everything has been done (nothing new under the sun). Second, I don't need to be preached to by lefty idiots. I have a pretty huge collection of Blu-rays and DVDs to occupy my viewing time along with TCM.
