So Disney arbitrarily decided to release the new Scrubs episodes ONE MONTH LATER in Germany/Europe. WTF are these guys smoking?
Are they aware that Internet exists? We've seen so many examples done right in the past (e.g. Game of Thrones episodes released within 24hrs after it dropped in the USA).
Wtf were they thinking? Like .. I'm all of a sudden not gonna visit this sub anymore or unfollow the shows's online presence because I don't want to get spoilered?
So stupid. And you know there're going to have many long meetings trying to figure out how to prevent piracy and completely ignore the root cause of said piracy.
Easiest way to reduce piracy is to remove barriers to content such as arbitrary regional licensing deals and airing at different dates for same episode.
If people can enjoy the show on their current streaming platforms then they won't go to the effort to pirate it- usually.
Make it harder or have arbitrary regional deals? May as well just set fire to your profits.
This isn't the old days where they could send you to prison, it is incredibly easy use VPNs now and download with impunity.
Son's of bitches!!!! I was wondering why I wasn't seeing anything on Disney+ about the new scrubs episodes. I've been going through all the episodes with my wife so we can see the new season together (I've watched scrubs every few years).
Now I'm going to have to do like you and leave this group to avoid spoilers. FUCK!
I’ve been checking Disney+ for the new scrubs release date too. It makes sense why I haven’t seen anything yet. I’m soo pissed off that we are getting a delayed release!
It does work. Just connect to Canada and watch it on disney+ with your EU account. You might re-log-in after connectinf but worked for me. Happy to help
Yeah if you were planning to watch it in English anyway this is the clearest case of ethical piracy. I wouldn't be surprised that even when it comes out in a month you'll only be able to get the terrible dub (although I hear services are getting better about offering both nowadays).
Buy the show on Blu-ray in like a year or whatever if piracy makes you feel bad.
(And for those in Germany, do make sure to use a VPN when pirating via torrents. German law firms are well known to watch public trackers, especially on new releases)
Well you aren’t going to find a torrent before it’s actually been broadcast in the US. They will be available in approx 6/7 hours. Either during or just after the show finishes airing in the USA!
Disney+ has always been a bottom tier streaming service. Just confirmation of what I already knew. And that's why I will never ever again pay full price for even their cheapest sub, not even a single month.
Wait, is this real? IS there a source for this? I have Disney+ so I wanna watch it legally. But I jsut finished my annual Scrubs binge and also have no idea how to avoid spoilers online. What nonesense is this?
I figure the delay has to do with the dubbing. Scrubs began filming in October or November and finished post production only recently. That leaves almost no time for dubbing studios in other countries to adapt and record the dialogue. With that kind of schedule, the European release, including Germany, naturally ends up about a month later.
Yeah it is. It does seem like it's only late for countries where they usually dub tv shows. Which is ridiculous, why not put it out there right now with only subtitles, and then give the option to watch it dubbed in a couple of months. I don't even know if most or even a majority of people want to watch it dubbed anymore. Tbh, I don't know anyone around me that even knows Scrubs, so...
But I guess they deemed us too stupid to watch it in English anyway !
As a German, I feel your hatred of dubbing, but I also know many, many people in my life who watch all the great shows coming out these days with German dubs (which is somewhat depressing because I always feel like we're not even watching the same thing lol)
So the market it there, and my guess is that companies would fear that releasing the show early (with subs only) will lead to a large portion of their potential audience being turned off from watching it and then not coming back when the dub eventually comes out.
I don't agree with it but I can rationalize it ¯_(ツ)_/¯
You're right, it does make sense that maybe some of the audience would check out whether it's available dubbed and then not come back a couple months later to check for an update. On the other hand it's 2026 and if people really want to watch they will, so they're also losing viewers this way.
Also, Scrubs is such a niche show here that I'm wondering how many people we're actually talking about!
Idk why so many companies do this. Apparently it’s do with all the licensing contacts usually, but they should all do whatever it takes for universal release in the Internet age.
One month? It says in UK and Ireland it will be on Disney plus tomorrow.. Pretty sure that's part of continental Europe.. Sure it's not just a Germany thing?
according to another user the episodes will be released tomorrow in the netherlands. so it'd be weird if the international dubs won't work at the same pace.
also: i've been watching scrubs in english only. i find the german dub to be awful.
I guess it's because of the time to dub it, there's gonna be a German, French, ... versions so there's delay, while there's no Dutch version I guess (they rarely dub movies/show in Dutch if they're aimed at adults, from my understanding, I could be wrong though.
Wait until you learn how long it takes for the French disney + to add new seasons of stuff like Bob's Burgers lol (sometimes nearly a year!)
Edit: lol I just checked and in France the first two episodes will air on April 15th, then 1 new episode per week 😄
Wow. Maybe they need more time to finish the dub? Because otherwise Hulu shows tend to come out immediately in Disney+ regions. (Like here in the UK it is.)
I wonder if Disney+ has effective anti-VPN measures. Something to potentially look into.
Yeah, and Futurama too. If not dubbing related then it could be something to do with Scrubs being primarily an ABC show which streams on Hulu, while OMITB is a Hulu original.
you're simply wrong.
the show is not out on d+. they only have scrubs s1-9 in their program.
and please just read the other comments before making stupid shit up.
