CORPORATE LINE: 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 SHOW: J.D. (Zach Braff) is the butt of every joke and our wacky lead character. Scrubs is flat-out funny. For every serious moment in E.R., Scrubs takes them and makes us laugh ourselves silly.
At the forefront of Scrubs are the great cast and hilarious storylines. After watching Scrubs you wonder why no one ever came up with a comedy set at a hospital—after all there are a lot of weird things that can happen there. Best of all is Dr. Perry Cox (John C. McGinley). McGinley steals every scene with the flair of a madman—a funny madman.
DVD FEATURES:
Disc One: “Newbies” is a retrospective on the actors before they were cast. Also included is Bill Lawrence who discusses how he came up with the concept. There are commentaries for a few episodes; “My First Day,” “My Old Lady,” and “My Fifteen Minutes.”
Disc Two: “The Doctor Is In” is a one on one with Zach Braff. “Alternate Lines: A Second Opinion” shows the cast’s unique ability to improvise
Disc Three: “Not Just Another Medical Show” is a making-of featurette and “Favorite Moments” is simply the cast and crew on their favorite episodes.
FRANKLY: Even with all the guest stars like Heather Locklear, John Ritter, Sean Hayes, Brendan Fraser, and more you realize that none of these individuals are needed to make Scrubs great. The cast is phenomenal and the screenwriting continues to live up to expectations. The first season of Scrubs is one of the best first seasons of any comedic sitcoms in the last ten years.
