Well, meetings don't just become stand-ups. The daily Scrum is a very specific type of meeting designed to keep the Team updated with each others' progress. In so much as that meeting has a very specific structure, the SM keeps it "on track". Other than that, it's up to the Team to keep any other meetings they decide to have on track.
I'd have to say, if your organization transitioned to Scrum and it feels like the "same old, same old" but with new names for stuff -- well then you're doing it wrong. Way wrong. Scrum is profoundly different from other forms of project management.
