RUPERT, Vt. (AP) — Carrying a large pump spray bottle and a small, sturdy brush, Caitlin Abrams stood before two starkly contrasting graves in a modest cemetery in western Vermont. Overcast skies hung low over a nearby hillside in full autumn color. Last year, Abrams had delicately cleaned the tombstone of Mary Bailey, who died in 1852 at just 21 years old. The still-pristine white marble stone stood out compared to the neighboring grave, holding Bailey’s sister Eliza, covered in grime and moss collected over the decades. Working in quick, gentle strokes, Abrams used her brush and sprayer to peel away dirt hiding the floral details on Eliza’s grave before moving to the next. “Sometimes you can definitely see a difference right away,” she said. “Other times, it’s a month later you’ll come back and go ‘oh my gosh, it’s beautiful.’”Abrams is one of the many social media creators who have found success posting videos of themselves cleaning graves. They can attract large audiences, often including those looking for cleaning content or videos with repetitive and subtle sounds known for their calming effect.

The sitcom premiered in 2001 and ran for nine seasons on two networks, first NBC and then ABC, only to be rebooted earlier this year. Now entering its second season of the reboot on ABC, the original stars of Scrubs are still surprised at the series' longevity. Disney/Brian Bowen Smith"I was terrified," Zach Braff, who plays J. D. Dorian, tells Newsweek’s Parting Shot podcast of returning for the reboot. "We did it for the fans, and the fans are very passionate about the original show. People watched it at really important moments in their lives. We've all had people tell us ‘Scrubs got me through a hard time. Scrubs was my comfort show.’ So bringing it back, we were all nervous we wouldn't stick the landing and find the tone again. I was terrified until we got the first ratings, and I was like, wait, we might be onto something.
