Scrubs - The Complete Season 1 (DVD) ... Entertainment / Features of the DVD: Box set, PAL, Subtitled / 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." 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

Premium Review Scrubs - The Complete Season 1 (DVD): An apple a day keeps the doctor away! (404 words)

I moved on to Scrubs after having watched all of Friends and getting slightly bored with it, and nothing else really grabbing my fancy. Scrubs is a hospital drama, which follows the life of John Dorian (J.D.), his friend since college Turk, Carla Espinosa (a nurse), Elliot Reid (a competitive female doctor) and Perry Cox (an attending doctor, in charge of JD when he first starts). It is set at Sacred Heart hospital and is narrated by JD because he has an inner monologue always running through his head. As soon as they arrive at Sacred Heart they end up right in on all the action. JD manages to annoy the Janitor on his second day, and they have an ...  Read the complete review

I'm not normally somene who would buy box sets of series that I have already seen but Scrubs is a big favourite of mine and I decided to splash out and get the first series. For those who do not know Scrubs is a US comedy and stars Zach Braff as JD and young medical intern and the first episode starts with him arriving at Sacred Heart Hospital to start his medical training as a doctor. The style of this show is to have the story told by JD and quite often the scene will cut away to what is going on in his head where he has a rather furtile imagination and is prone to the surreal. His best friend at the hospital and former room mate at Uni is Chris ...  Read the complete review

Crowned Review Scrubs - The Complete Season 1 (DVD): Scrubs series 1. (2301 words)

With Friends over and Will and Grace not fitting the qualifications that a good comedy has (and the fact that it has ended) I have been waiting for a nice comedy so I spend less watching friends repeats that never seem to get boring, and more watching something new. New to me that is., since this great comedy started in 2001 and it was only over half term that I got into it. SO I brought the box set and watched all 24 episodes so fast it can’t be good for me. Basically it is a comedy about interns starting work at the Sacred Heart hospital, a hospital full of weird and wonderful employees, yet all as realistic as each other. The cast is mainly a bunch of new ...  Read the complete review

Scrubs Series 1 is the DVD of the hit US comedy first aired in the UK on Channel 4. I hadn't actually seen this show when it originally came out, however all my friends seemed to like it, and after borrowing a copy of the DVD, I was hooked. I think I watched the whole thing in a weekend, and couldn't stop talking about it for the rest of the week. I now have all 4 series as part of my own collection, and it's definately my goto show when I'm bored and there's nothing on telly. I always try to sum up the style of a show to someone who hasn't seen it by comparing it to other shows. For Scrubs I find it very original, I've not seen anything ...  Read the complete review
