Hulu Pulls Blackface Episodes of ‘Scrubs’
Breitbart ^ | June 24 2020 | WARNER TODD HUSTON

Posted on 06/25/2020 3:40:50 AM PDT by knighthawk

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 3’s “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.

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 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.
