Scrubs

Let me start off by saying that I adore this show. Really, I'm absolutely enthralled by it. Here's the thing, it's not really a sitcom. If you're a fan of straight zannyness and a brand new plot with each episode, this isn't really the show for you.

Sitcom, or situation comedy, is comedy of the moment. It is to say that nothing that has happened previously in the series is the reason for what's happening now. Scrubs, on the other hand, involves a rather strong continuing plot line and character arcs that encompass a season. The characters change and grow over time.

For me, since, as I said, I am devoted to the show, this is fantastic. I watch it every week and I get a bit more of the story to file away in my head thing. However, if you're just tuning in for the first time, you might not like the show quite so much. All I can say is, give it time. Let it grow on you a bit before you cast judgment. Because really, the show is good. But tuning in for one episode won't really tell you that.

After getting extremely bored of the current new releases on my streaming services I decided to give Scrubs a try 20 years after it first aired and up till last week I'd never seen a minute of this show Well I'm late to the party and boy am I glad I finally found it I'm already through 2 & a bit seasons and I'm still roaring with laughter at the cartoonish nature and over the top clips on the smallest of points

If your looking for a light brain free tv show that's legitimately funny from start to finish that's 25ish minutes an episode so it's not a massive chunk of your day (unless like me you let them run through and 4 hours vanishes when you've got 40 minutes for lunch break whoops)

Fingers crossed this great old show keeps at the early levels

'Scrubs' is a look at the world through the eyes of an intern. Not some crusty cop or a desperate housewife, but an intern.

An intern with no special abilities or powers. An intern who goes to a hospital.

And somehow, this creates one of the best shows on TV.

J.D.(Zach Braff) is an intern at Sacred Hearts Hospital. He's surrounded by a cynical janitor, a belligerent head M.D., a sarcastic mentor, and a few other interns. Though this all may seem like a familiar and done-before formula, 'Scrubs' makes the whole thing seem fresh, new, and radiant.

The show subtlety examines many major issues (authority complex, race, etc.) without making it seem preachy. To do this well is itself a fantastic achievement.

This show also does something incredible: make actors you may recognize from small parts in movies shine. Zach Braff, John C. McGinley, and so many others.

Worth your time in spades.

I thank Bill Lawrence with all my heart and soul for creating "Scrubs." Never before have I become so invested in characters that I actually cry when something happens to them. Well, not since Buffy, at least...

Anyway, Scrubs is a unique blend of in-your-face, slapstick, outrageous humour and tear-jerking, brilliantly acted drama. In the space of 5 seconds, the show can go from laughing your a** off to getting goosebumps from how moving it is.

Take for instance episode 12 of the 3rd season, "My Screwup." Don't worry, no spoilers, but in my opinion, this is the best episode of Scrubs (next to "My Lunch") just because of how absolutely hilarious it is for the majority, but at the end, all of a sudden, with one of the best cuts of all time, you, or at least I, suddenly find tears welling up in my eyes as realisation kicks in.

I recommend this show to everyone, and am constantly outraged how this show never wins an Emmy, they should have picked one up for every brilliant season this show brings out. It is without a doubt, the very best television show there has ever been. Here endeth the rant.

I've watched through this show so many countless times. And every time it's great, it makes laugh and feel the emotions of the characters. This shows deals great with the characters and their jobs. It shows how hard it is being a doctor and a death of a patient effects them. Such as season 1 episode 4 and season 8 episode 2. Episodes that show our characters connecting to their patients. But Scrubs can also give us over the top Hilarious moments. Like JD's day dreams and the stuff Turk and JD get into. All in all this show is not your typical comedy/drama show. It's a great deep series that offers so much.
