DVD Reviews of Scrubs - The Complete First Season

DVD Review: An unexpected surprise
Summary: 5 Stars

I'd gotten this as a Christmas gift for my spouse. After watching a few episodes together, I was hooked! I'm not a tv watcher and usually get bored as soon as a commercial comes on. The lovely thing about these dvd shows is no commercials :-D. Great series and will be picking up season 2 soon.

DVD Review: Hilarity
Summary: 5 Stars

I love this show. I watch even the repeats almost religiously. If you aren't looking for a serious medical drama than this is for you!

DVD Review: Scrubs
Summary: 5 Stars

This is a perfect gift for ANYONE in the medical field, or anyone who loves sitcoms.

DVD Review: Flawless thoughtful comedy
Summary: 5 Stars

I have grown to absolutely love this show over the years since its beginning. There was something intangibly great about the first years of this series, where universal themes came together with laugh-out-loud comedic moments to create something larger than the sum of its parts. In one way or another, many of us have been through the same sorts of dilemmas which confront JD and crew in these episodes. Although I have no connection with the medical profession, I still find enough that's broadly applicable here to see tie-ins in my everyday work and personal life. Ther caharcters also seem very real - I feel like I know these people. That's the mark of a great show.

The first season represents the original vision, created before anyone knew the series would be so successful. These episodes seem a bit more undiluted and pure than some of the later ones. This is why the first volume remains my favorite.

The soundtrack is also pretty good, and has exposed me to a number of musical artists whom I might not have thought to check out otherwise.

Buy the DVD or watch the reruns on cable (they're always on) and enjoy the show!

DVD Review: Great First Season for a SitCom
Summary: 5 Stars

I never watched this show because it was a TV SitCom.
This spring I caught a snippet from the show as I was channel surfing.
I was rolling on the floor. I watched several syndicated episodes and laughed.
I bought it for my wife for Valentines Day. We both enjoy this series.
It beat flowers and chocolate.
If you never saw the series this is the only place to start.

Description of Scrubs - The Complete First Season

Now relive all 24 episodes of the groundbreaking show's highly acclaimed first season. With a host of great bonus features, including never-before-seen dream sequences and a fascinating retrospective documentary, this spectacular four-DVD set is off-the-charts entertainment you'll want to watch over and over again. Joining the rumpled J.D. at Sacred Heart Hospital are fellow residents Chris Turk (Donald Faison, REMEMBER THE TITANS, FELICITY) -- J.D.'s college buddy who is part of the more elite surgical group, and the beautiful but socially awkward Elliot Reid (Sarah Chalke, ROSEANNE).

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, too, can break your heart, 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. Scrubs is one of NBC's few remaining "Must-See" series, but it has not been well-served by the network. Whether you're a "newbie" or devoted viewer, this DVD release is just what the doctor ordered. --Donald Liebenson
