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.
