| Taking a different
approach to both the sitcom and the medical television genres,
SCRUBS was a critical success that became a cult hit. The show
centers around J.D. (Zach Braff), a wacky medical intern at
Sacred Heart Hospital, and his friends and colleagues: his
confident best friend Turk, neurotic fellow intern Elliot,
tough nurse Carla, and their supervisor, the cruel Dr. Cox.
Unlike many sitcoms, SCRUBS employs a structure of continuing
plotlines and developing characters, like many dramas will. It
also combines verbal wit, slapstick humor, and fantasy
sequences in order to garner laughs--a strange but effective
combination that suggests a skewed version of reality. SCRUBS:
THE COMPLETE FIRST SEASON features 24 episodes, with guest
stars as diverse as John Ritter, R. Lee Ermey, Scott Foley,
and Brendan Fraser. |
