The sitcom may be flatlining, but as long as there are fresh and original series like Scrubs, the prognosis isn't entirely negative. Created by Bill Lawrence, Scrubs is an interns'-eye view of hospital life and the torturous, tragic, and triumphant route to becoming a doctor. The eminently likeable Zach Braff heads the cast as "newbie" J.D., whose years of medical school haven't quite prepared him for chaotic Sacred Heart Hospital. Family Guy has nothing on the live-action Scrubs when it comes to surreal asides and fantasy sequences (for example, J.D. literally becomes the proverbial deer in the headlights when he cannot answer a medical query), pop culture references, and TV Land casting (John Ritter guest stars as J.D.'s negligent father in "My Old Man," and St. Elsewhere veterans William Daniels, Ed Begley, Jr., Stephen Furst, and Eric Laneuville appear as Legionnaire's-stricken doctors in "My Sacrifical Clam"). With surgical precision, this inaugural season charts J.D.'s growth as a doctor and a human being, and the close-knit bonds he forms with his equally overwhelmed peers and colleagues, including best friend and surgeon Chris Turk (Donald Faison), beautiful, but raw-nerved and by-the-book Elliot Reid (Sarah Chalke), and supportive nurse Carla Espinoza (Judy Reyes'), who affectionately nicknames J.D. "Bambi." But at the heart of the series is J.D.'s relationship with his mentor, Dr. Cox (an Emmy-worthy John C. McGinley), a cross between Obi-Wan Kenobi and a pit bull. Giving Scrubs a further shot of adrenaline are recurring characters Jordan (Christa Miller Lawrence), Dr. Cox's satanic ex-wife, and Neil Flynn as the Janitor, who torments J.D. just as Larry Miller menaced Jerry in the Seinfeld episode "The Doorman." Scrubs' animated sensibility allows for inexplicable cameos by Jimmie Walker or, at one point, an impromptu West Side Story-esque dance-off to convey the schism between the surgeons and other doctors. But while hilariously funny, Scrubs, too, can break your heart, as in the two-parter "My Occurrence"/"My Hero," with guest star Brendan Fraser as Jordan's spontaneously spirited brother, who is diagnosed with leukemia, and "My Old Lady," in which J.D., Elliot, and Chris experience for the first time losing a patient. Scrubs is one of NBC's few remaining "Must-See" series, but it has not been well-served by the network. Whether you're a "newbie" or devoted viewer, this DVD release is just what the doctor ordered. --Donald Liebenson

Umm... an AMAZING show! December 19, 2008
Give Scrubs a chance! Once I started watching it I was completely hooked. It can make you laugh and cry in the same episode. Scrubs has the uncanny ability to make serious, socially-conscious points, but also provide hilarious comic-relief. This show makes me really happy and I bet it'll make you happy too!!
 Scrubs November 29, 2008
I bought these to send to my son in Iraq....he only watched one episode in the US and got hooked, so he asked for me to start sending him all the seasons....
Great October 24, 2008
great shippng, great quality. this is a great product. i greatly recommend this product
Love It October 1, 2008
I absolutely LOVE this show. Maybe it is an "in joke" thing at times, I'm a registered nurse in an emergency department, and I can totally relate to most of it. In fact, I find Scrubs far more realistic that any other medical TV series. Friends don't believe me when I say that, but it's true. I especially like it when it shows the characters thinking one thing, like strangling a patient or something, then cutting back to see them smile sweetly and say something completely different - yes, nurses do that all the time. This is great, hillariously funny and well worth every cent.
Truly amazing August 18, 2008
This is easily one of the best shows out there. I'm about to finish Nursing school and easily relate to just about everything on screen. Being dumped on, working through relationship stuff, doubting yourself, everything. Mucho kudos to the writers for making me laugh and then giving me reassurance and perspective. The series only gets better as it goes as far as I'm concerned.
Anyone that can watch My hero, My philosphy, and My lunch and not tear up isn't human. And these are just a few of the episodes over the years that have don it for me.
