Scrubs: The Complete Seasons 1-8Taking
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.

Movie descriptionIn
2001, SCRUBS turned the "doctor drama" formula on its ear, moving
stolid patients and practitioners out of their standard, soap-opera
seriousness and into the wily world of single-camera comedy. The
scrappy sitcom about an eager intern, J.D. (Zach Braff), offered a
unique blend of broad humor and surprising heart that quickly made it a
critical darling and a cult favorite. Eight seasons later, the quirky
cast has grown up: J.D. is now an M.D., but he’s still flanked by the
lovely but neurotic Elliot (Sarah Chalke), his best friend, Turk
(Donald Faison), no-nonsense nurse Carla (Judy Reyes), and hard-ass Dr.
Cox (John C. McGinley). Luckily, with age doesn’t necessarily come
wisdom, and the 2008-09 season offers more of the series’ trademark
verbal sparring as J.D. and the others get interns of their own to
manage and mislead. This collection includes every episode from the
eighth season of SCRUBS, and features deleted scenes, a blooper reel,
and a set of intern-based Webisodes.
