Scrubs is an American comedy-drama that premiered on October 2, 2001, on NBC. It was created by Bill Lawrence and is produced currently by ABC Studios (formerly known as Touchstone Television). The show follows the lives of several employees of Sacred Heart, a teaching hospital. It features fast-paced dialogue, slapstick, and surreal vignettes presented mostly as the daydreams of the central character, Dr. John Michael “J.D.” Dorian. The show’s title is a play on surgical scrubs in addition to “scrubs” being slang for the new and inexperienced. During the seventh season, NBC announced that it would not renew the show. Shortly after the seventh season finale, ABC announced that it had bought the rights to the show and on January 6, 2009, the eighth season of Scrubs premiered on ABC. The eighth season finale aired on May 6, 2009. While ABC is in talks with the producers regarding renewal of the show for a ninth season, it is unknown whether the series will continue and how much of the cast will be retained if it does.
What is Scrubs About? – Plot
The first season introduces J.D. and his best friend Turk in their first year out of medical school as interns at Sacred Heart Hospital. J.D. quickly meets his reluctant mentor, Dr. Perry Cox, an attractive young woman (and fellow intern) named Elliot, on whom he has a crush, the hospital’s janitor, who goes out of his way to make J.D.’s life miserable, the Chief of Medicine, Dr. Bob Kelso, who is more concerned about the budget than the patients; and Carla Espinosa, the head nurse and Turk’s new girlfriend, who puts Turk through the trials and tribulations of being in a serious relationship. The characters face romances and relationship issues, family obligations, overwhelming paperwork, and a tremendous number of patients.
The second season focuses on Dr. John Dorian’s second year practicing medicine at Sacred Heart, where he is now a resident. As the season develops, J.D.’s older brother Dan (Tom Cavanagh) comes to visit, money issues affect J.D., Elliot, and Turk, Turk proposes to Carla, and Elliot finds a new boyfriend, a nurse named Paul Flowers. (Rick Schroder) Dr. Cox resumes a sexual relationship with his ex-wife Jordan, with quite unexpected results.
In the third season it’s J.D.’s, Elliot’s, and Turk’s third year at Sacred Heart and second year as residents.

Turk and Carla are engaged and planning their wedding. Turk, along with the Todd and the other surgical residents, deal with the new attending surgeon, Dr. Grace Miller (Bellamy Young), who dislikes Turk and considers him sexist.

Are you happy that Scrubs gets renewed for a ninth season by ABC? I know I am…
there is no point in calling an episode My Finale if it’s not the finale, plus scrubs is gonna suck hard without jd
I’ve seen Scrubs a couple times, and I consider it to be a decent show overall. The show follows nurse J.D. and his friend, Tucker and many others. I can’t really cite specific episodes, but from what I remember, it was dramatic, but it was also somewhat comedic.
