Show Summary

  • Ended
This half-hour comedy focuses on the bizarre experiences of fresh-faced medical intern John "J.D." Dorian (Zach Braff) as he embarks on his healing career in a surreal hospital crammed full of unpredictable staffers and patients where humor and tragedy can merge paths at any time.

Joining the rumpled J.D. in his exhilarating brave new world are his college buddy, Chris Turk (Donald Faison, "Clueless"), an intern with a more elite surgical group, and J.D.'s fellow medical intern, the beautiful and driven Elliot Reid (Sarah Chalke, "Roseanne"). Keeping the new interns on their toes are: The fatherly chief of medicine, Dr. Bob Kelso (Ken Jenkins); the abrasive, worldly Dr. Perry Cox (John McGinley), and the caring but slightly jaded nurse Carla Espinosa (Judy Reyes). The hospital janitor (Neil Flynn) also never seems to miss an opportunity to harass his target.

Scrubs is filmed in a real-life hospital. It's the North Hollywood Medical Center, which has gone under severe reconstruction to fit all the equipment and represent Sacred Heart Hospital.''''The Opening Theme Song:''"Superman" performed by Lazlo Bane''''NBC Broadcast History:''October 2001 - May 2002 --- Tuesdays, 9:30pm''September 2002 - October 2003 --- Thursdays, 8:30pm''November 2003 - January 2004 --- Thursdays, 9:30pm''January 2004 - May 2004 --- Tuesdays, 9:30pm''June 2004 - August 2004 --- Thursdays, 9:30pm''August 2004 - December 2004 --- Tuesdays, 9:30pm''January 2005 - May 2005 --- Tuesdays, 9:00pm''January 2006 - March 2006 --- Tuesdays, 9:00pm & 9:30pm''March 2006 - May 2006 --- Tuesdays, 9:00pm''November 2006 - April 2007 --- Thursdays, 9:00pm''April 2007 - May 2007 --- Thursdays, 9:30pm''October 2007 - April 2007 --- Thursdays, 9:30pm''April 2007 - May 2008 --- Thursdays, 8:30pm''''The show then moved to ABC for the 2009/2010 television season.''''ABC Broadcast History:''January 2009 - February 2009 --- Tuesdays, 9:00pm and 9:30pm''March 2009 - May 2009 --- Wednesdays, 8:00pm''December 2009 --- Tuesdays, 9:00pm''January 2010 - March 2010 --- Tuesdays, 8:00pm and 9:00pmmoreless

  • Scrubs has the best sense of humor I thought I would never see on TV. Just wonderful.

    I think the show everybody knows what's about and all its classic Scrubs elements. If you don't, then watch it and enjoy. Absolutely brilliant piece of television. Scrubs is just so defined, so crazy, so wicked, ironic and zany, it blows my mind. What blows my mind too is that I only started watching it until the fifth season, what was I thinking?! I missed its prime when it was airing live. At the time I wasn't extremely interested with many TV shows. But certainly Scrubs is just that different show that sets itself apart from the rest, it really is ground-breaking. With all the ingredients to be an indie, cult show, it became a super hit that it will always be a well respected brand name as comedy show in the history of TV, it stands by its own as one of the greatest. To me it's the greatest but sadly it didn't keep the same quality during its entire run. It's a shame, the show is too fresh and cool to be bashed or talked down.
    I never thought I could get so attached to a show, emotionally and comedically I could never forget it. It's not like "there are funnier shows out there". There may be a couple, but barely on their 2nd or 3rd season. Let's see if they can mantain its audience, quality and devoted fanbase for almost 8 seasons. Yep, season 7 was too short and not up to par and season 9, we all hate it. It ruined Scrubs as we know it. Still, watch the first 5 or 6 seasons, the show is pure brilliance in both comedy and balancing with storyline and drama mixed. The first 3 seasons the show is so inspired and feels so alive, I believe Scrubs' greatest episodes could be the finest TV can ever get. Trend-setting, generation defining, it's gotta be the best live long running show of the 00's. Can't be topped.moreless

  • By far my favorite television show!

    I have to admit that first when I started watching Scrubs I didn't think much of it (in fact I probably wouldn't had stayed with it if it wasn't for my friend). But with time I fell completely in love with it and it became a place where I could escape from all my worries and problems. I'm not saying the show is perfect but for me it came pretty damn close! This show has helped me through hard times and even helped me too deal with deaths of people close to me. Never did I think I would become this attached to a television program but the truth is that over the time JD, Turk, Carla, Dr.Cox (..etc) became like friends to me. And for me it was mixed feelings when I watched the last episode (in season 8) because even though l was happy with how it ended I had the sensation that I had lost friends. All I want to say is that I recommend this show for everyone and I ask you please not to give up on it until you have at least finished the first season. I truly cherish all the joy and laughter Scrubs has brought through the years and even now when I have problems I find comfort in Scrubs. To me Scrubs was not only a TV show it was a lesson of life.moreless

    I have to say that this was my favorite shows of all time, it was hilarious and also serious but i did have problems with the ninth season and they shouldve just ended it at 8, I'm glad they ended the show since it wouldve made me dislike the show even more. To me there r only 8 seasons because thats how it shouldve been. It is still one of my favorite shows even though there r only reruns now but its still hilarious to see a rerun and I loved how they ended the show at the end of season 8, wish they kept it that way.
    Simply, Scrubs is the best show ever made.moreless

    Scrubs was something new and interesting when it came along. Friends was wrapping up and everybody needed a new sitcom to get involved with. The early seasons of this show were pretty special. There was a good mix of nerdy humour and "drama" with enough emotion to keep it interesting. It kept a pretty basic formula throughout and maintained it's level of entertainment up until the end of season 5 (which was probably the shows best). Season 6 was a good attempt at moving into more serious story lines with the main characters now growing up and being a lot less silly. After season 6 however the show just withered and died. The writers strike destroyed this show. It was the intention of everyone involved to end this show with season 7. If they had been able to do what they wanted I have a feeling this show would have sat with me a whole lot better. With only an 11 episode run due to the writers strike they decided to carry on and it resulted in some awful TV that no one cared for. Overall, the earlier seasons of this show were very watchable and good TV, but it carried on way too long. I'd recommend it to anyone who wants an easy escape from life, but if you haven't seen it you haven't missed too much.moreless
