Scrubs : Complete Season 1
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 can break your heart too, 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. Whether you're a "newbie" or devoted viewer, this DVD release is just what the doctor ordered. --Donald Liebenson, Amazon.com

Amazon.co.uk Review
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."
AMAZING!!!

This show is unique. It is weird and wonderful and addictive. There is a fantastic cast, all hilarious in their own way and together make a show that you can't help laugh at. This sitcom deals with some real issues that some shows would be too scared to include, but Scrubs manages to pull it off perfectly. If you are looking for a fantastically funny sitcom that you could watch over and over, you want Scrubs.

If you love medical dramas, this is the show for you. Or not. This is not another E.R. This is a medical drama with a twist. None of the doctors in this series is "normal", they all have their little quirks, or big quirks. Even the main character. You will not stop laughing from beginning to end. And you will have many good moments thanks to the crazy janitor. The best guy in the show.
Soooo Funny.

Review date: 2008-02-25 Rating: 10 out of 10
I had a freind tell me about scrubs, and he raved about it from the first day he saw it. I don't usually watch things on other peoples say so, so he lent me the first complete series. After watching the first disk, i realised that this is a must for my dvd collection. The first series is.....Amazing. It's well scripted. You love one character, then, as time goes on, each episode you'll be changing your mind. JD, Turk, Bob Kelso, Perry Cox.... who knows, I'm still undecided.
You must buy it. if you like old school, slapstick humour with a mix of a deep sentimental meaning after each episode, then this is a MUST.
I would find it hard to beleive if it doesn't make you laugh within the first 5 mins.
Don't get me started on the great theme tune.........

How can anyone say that Scrubs isn't a good sitcom. Sure people have differing opinions but c'mon. This is one of the most heartwarming and funny sitcoms on tv. The double episode with the leukemia patient gets me choked up every time. But it also makes you laugh so hard in many places. The bit with Carrot Top is hilarious. But still you get pretentious people criticising this show. Case and point Family Guy. Sure I love Family Guy but don't you think Family Guy gets a bit pretentious some times. It acts like it's the only sitcom on tv worth watching sometimes. I need to tell Seth MacFarlane to put his feet back on the ground again. But maybe he just does it to be funny. Maybe that's the reason. Still it gets annoying to see Family Guy slating a good tv show nearly every episode. If you have to buy something today buy this because it is brilliant.
