    This year, there’s much more of the loopy, creative humor that its fans have come to know and love.

    The show hits the ground in midseason form after eight months and one change of venue, integrating a new crop of interns with seamless aplomb and again demonstrating how to fuse dramatic elements into a sitcom without breaking a sweat.

    The first two ABC episodes of Scrubs, premiering back-to-back tomorrow night, more closely resemble the series in its marvelous early seasons, and suggest that Braff's victory lap will be a memorable one.

    Rest easy. Scrubs is just fine (with all cast members, except Jenkins, back), though the opening episode is superior to the follow-up.

What separates it from its counterparts is its extremely emotional connection. This show is the only one that has ever made me shed a tear. This summer, I took the liberty of watching all *8* seasons of scrubs in order. At first I just started because it was one of those shows I sparsely watched when I was a little kid. But as season 1 turned to season 2 and so on, I began to adopt this show as a metaphor for life. No drama like Lost of Grey's Anatomy can ever touch so deeply into my heart. Whether it's the passing of Lavern or Mrs. Wilk, or the series finale reference of the penny from the very first episode of this show, Bill Lawrence has captivated my family in a way that nothing has ever done. The last episode left us speechless particularly. Just watching all the characters from the 8 seasons, like old interns, captain hook security guard, and Lavern, scroll through JD's memory, then in a flash they all disappear. It's just amazing. Did I mention that this show is funny? Because along with all the emotional attachment I have to these people, they are just downright the funniest actors I have ever seen. Just searching "scrubs" on youtube gets you hundreds of the most priceless moments from the show. Every character is funny. JD and Chocolate Bear greeting each other with "Eeeeaaagglllee", Elliot saying "frick" like the whitest girl on earth, and Carla just being her mature self. Not to mention Dr. Cox's constant rants, Kelso-Donnie-Muffin love, and good ol' Ted the just absolutely most pitiful human being in the planet. oh, and the Janitor's mischief. But remember when I said every character is funny? Colonel Doctor, Jordan, Jimmy the overly-touchy orderly. The depth of this show is simply outstanding. Everything characters reference in speech is something that actually happened in the past. Season 8 referred to the first season on multiple occasions. But most probably went unnoticed. Because that is the genius of the show, so many of the smartest elements of a show are exhibited without many people even noticing. There are other funny shows, yes. I love Modern Family, Arrested Development, 30 Rock, Seinfeld, That 70's Show, and so on. But I have never been so compelled to watch a show like I just watched Scrubs. These shows are funny, yes, but they lack true substance, complexity, and seriousness in appropriate times. And yes, sometimes it's much better just to watch a funny show so you don't have to think too much. But Scrubs offers such realism in the face of witty humor that touches every aspect of hospital life. I'm not a doctor, but those that I know have called it the most realistic doctors show. It's drama deals with actual hospital problems. Like giving false hope to a patient, or being swamped with a series of patient misfortunes, or getting stuck with a needle full of blood from a HIV+ patient. Scrubs is the only show that I have been able to take completely seriously both in humor and in times of trouble. The actors are truly fantastic, and the writing could not be better. Call me crazy, but to just glance at this show is almost a crime. I lived this show for the past month, and it has actually changed my thinking about so many things. Am I obsessed? It'll probably wear off gradually. But the love of those characters and lessons they learn with stay with me for life. And that's something no other comedy can do.… Full Review »

Если первые серии ещё оправляешься после вполне хорошего, но не отличного прошлого сезона, то после второй серии уже чувствуешь "Боже, как я рад". Каждая серия смешнее другой, а чем ближе к концу, тем грустнее. Концовка не заставила меня реветь, но глаза были мокрые.
    Прекрасный сериал, теперь один из моих любимых.
