I absolutely adore the old show and i hope they can update it to fit a new reality in medicine and how the characters progressed since the original show ended.
Seems like they have a good core of returning characters and i hope to see many cameos from original characters though i'm still sad about the passing of Sam Lloyd which means Ted won't come back ( my favorite supporting character).

Well, it has been 16 years...
No, no... seventeen years. I don't know what this ninth season of Scrubs people always talk about was. It only had eight seasons.
Hm, I lost interest in the original when the soap opera relationship stuff really started dominating the show, and the fantasy cutaways dwindled to one or two per episode. Maybe the amount of the fantasies the series started off with was unsustainable without making JD look like a crazy person, but without them, it steadily became a blander, less interesting, and increasingly treacly sitcom.
Now that the main three are well into middle age, though, I'm not sure bringing back tons of goofy fantasies would work any better. Ergo, unless they did something really wild with the revival, like set it in a semi-apocalyptic aftermath of a planetary alien invasion, it'll probably be a generic "Gee, aren't the challenges of raising kids while working full-time wacky!" kind of sitcom. Which, if that's what the target audience wants, swell. It just probably won't be for me.

The Janitor has a kid. His kid hates J.D.'s kid. The cycle continues,
Either that or their kids become a couple.
No, no, somebody stuck a crayon in the door. The Janitor kid, wearing a junionr janitor costume, if trying to fix it, blames J.D., Jr.
"Door is stuck, somebody stuck a crayon in it. Third time this week. It wasn't you, was it?"
J.D., Jr.: "I don't know," raises arms and crayons come raining out of his shirt. Jan Itor, Jr. goes running after him.

^ No offense, but simply repeating a zero-substance idea doesn't make it any less banal.
Hey, look, I came up with an idea! What if James Bond had a son, but, because of James' career, Jimmy Jr. barely knew his dad, and therefore became a promiscuous rebel who ended up joining the military and eventually... became a spy himself! Wouldn't that be a great movie idea?!
(No.)

That's what the show did. I'm not breaking their mold. Literally, they pulled the same thing during the run of the show: another new intern comes in, the Janitor does it to the new intern as well.
And there's nothing wrong with a running gag.
