I've seen almost every episode of this great show. I've not watched the second half of season 7 yet, but I am looking forward too it.
Back in 2001, TV was starting to take a dramatic lull in terms of comedy. Everything was the same. Friends was becoming less interesting and Sex and The City didn't appeal too me ( I was 15 at the time), but then Zach Braff came along as the insecure, camp, commitophobe John Dorian in a slap stick comedic melodrama that was so fresh, you could smell the Janitor's new mop.
Over the course of the next 7 years Scrubs would become the biggest comedy on the planet.
Set in the hospital of Sacred Heart, Scrubs is fantastical in it's approach to comedy. It goes from in your face funny to in your face hearbreaking. Anyone who has seen the episode I have just finished watching, My Musical, will know exactly what I'm talking about.
Dr Cox, Carla, Janitor, Turk, Kelso, Elliot and so much more...they're all great characters and played by great actors. It's great, brilliant and original. Fantastic.
My favourite character is JD, but second too him is Ted. I think Sacred Heart's excuse for a lawyer is superb. Played by Sam Lloyd, the man is what we all strive not too be a....a pee-on, walk-over.
As we bid farewell to Scrubs this year and say hello to whatever new comedy we come across, one can only hope it was as fresh as this was back in 2001.
