    Just intense enough to provide a much-needed diversion, just lightweight enough to make you forget about it soon after it’s over. It’s not exactly “good,” per se, but it does what it sets out to do in terms of putting us on edge, which makes it … successful?

    I just watched all 9 seasons this year. i never like network comedies. this is really in the upper echelon. the chemistry with turk and carla is maybe the best i've seen on tv. really something for everyone. closest to this would be cheers (first 3 years with diane). i did watch all of season 9 by the way and while yes, it was not as good as the main series, it was still excellent. that new group was awesome. i wish it had been a full season as they really started to click; which surprised me. I recommend this show highly.

    'Scrubs' was at the start a nice funny alternative to the more heavy medical shows like 'ER'. It made a star out of Zach Braff, and ran successfully for many series, without really ever setting the world alight.It was a modern comedy, so of course it's unfortunately a given that it's full of sex jokes and stupidity, but the charm of Braff and many other of the cast saves things slightly.The network knew it had a hit on its hands, so this show got milked until it was not funny It's a shame, because at its peak, this show was better than most.

    Wackiness has always been an integral part of the "Scrubs" recipe, but I tend to remember this show for its overtly zany later seasons (not anyone's fault; this happens to even to the best sitcoms). But the earlier seasons are the sweet spot; that Venn diagram overlap where all the winning attributes are working in harmony.The truth is, during that period, this show is consistently hilarious and features players with natural comic timing. For me, it's mostly about Donald Faison and John C. McGinley. Most of the laughs come from them. But it's also the mark of a good series that it can sneak up behind you with a strong dose of pathos.

    It's a comedy show that takes place in a hospital. You'd think a show like that would never work, but "Scrubs" pulls it off.The first eight seasons of "Scrubs" follows John 'J.D' Dorian (Zach Braff) in his experiences of working at a hospital, starting out as an intern and working his way up to a residency. Along with J.D is his best friend Dr. Christopher Turk (Donald Faison), his friend/on again off again and later wife Dr. Elliot Reid (Sarah Chalke), Turk's wife Nurse Carla Espinosa (Judy Reyes), J.D's mentor Dr. Perry Cox (John C. McGinley), Chief of Medicine Dr. Bob Kelso (Ken Jenkins), and J.D's tormentor the Janitor (Neil Flynn).The most surprising thing about this show is how seamlessly it transfers from comedy to drama without it seeming forced. A great episode, "My Lunch", features a comical subplot involving one of the surgeons, The Todd (Robert Maschio), which concludes on punchline and then dives right into the dramatic and somber finale without coming across as awkward. I think it manages to do this because as a comedy set in a hospital, the audience is aware that there will be times when the show will have to have its somber endings.While it taking place in a hospital is definitely a reason that the comedy to drama aspect works so much, saying that's the whole reason would undermine all of the great writers that have worked on the show. The writing staff was not only good at comedic writing, but they were also good at dramatic writing. When it comes to comedy shows trying to dramatic, you usually feel like that show's writers are only prepared for comedy and don't know how to do drama, but the writers on "Scrubs" do.Thanks to the writing and the great work of the cast, "Scrubs" ends up having some very memorable characters. The two best characters, in my opinion, are Dr. Cox, the confident, somewhat egotistical mentor of J.D who is not only versed with loads of medical knowledge to help the doctors who look up to him, but is always quick on his feet with a rant that is hilarious to us and mean-spirited to J.D and his friends who he claims annoy him on a daily basis, and the Janitor, an eccentric trickster who is always looking for new ways to mess with J.D and any of the other characters from time to time.Even Season 9, which pushes the original cast aside in favor of new ones was good. While the characters were not as great as they were before, especially lacking in terms of a protagonist Lucy Bennett (Kerry Bishe), it still had some good episodes and some great moments just like the older episodes did. While the quality of the show did begin to decline with the start of Season 9, there was never a time during "Scrubs" where it was just a series of bad episodes one after the other. Granted, there were a few mediocre and bad episodes, all shows have that, but considering the ratio of bad episodes to great and outstanding episodes, you can easily overlook those lacking episodes.I'd like to end my review with the recommendation that if you haven't watched "Scrubs", do it. Immediately.
