ROFL. suggesting that one needs mental acuity to appreciate scrubs is like saying someone needs a PHD to appreciate a $5 hooker...it's preposterous. I find scrubs dull, unentertaining, and most of all, NOT FUNNY. Most of all, though, the jokes and plot are not "sophisticated" at all. they're not even remotely complex. Saying someone doesn't enjoy it because they don't understand it is a cop-out, when the real reason is that the show sucks.

Yeah ! This is one of the best tv shows ever made !!!!! The characters,storyline,and drama make this a really funny-entertaining show !!!!

This is a great creative show. I especially appreciate it because I've seen all the doctor drama shows. I like the references to Gray's Anatomy.

I NEVER got in to this show. I just dont find the main character or the show in genral funny at all.

The show is very boring. When the TV show is on TV I just simply change the channel.

Great show, love it loads!!! Just plain slap stick comedy!!!

loved

ZZZZZZZZZZZZZ...oh its scrubs on tv..ZZZZZZZZZZ thats how boring it is..thank me for my elucidative point

Funny show. You have to have pretty good mental acuity to keep up with the witty dialogue. It isn't a "must see" show at my house but I do watch it fairly often. Mostly reruns.

Easily one of the best shows on television!  The characters are NOT one-dimensional, they are very dynamic and original, the script is one of the best I have ever seen in a television series, and it is a sitcom that is actually funny.  5 stars for sure!

one-dimensional characters and the material is repetitive, I like the narration though

good show, but not a 5

  BEST SHOW EVER MADE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Pretty funny. I like the fact that it's a medical show that's not all drama.

awsome watching it right now

waste of air time

Love it!

This program may represent the apex of television comedy.

Drama, drama,drama, got enough of my own!

Very very clever and funny. There are many great characters.

Some episodes better than others but overall pretty good show.

Did I mention that I don't like hospital shows? That goes double for shows about doctors, interns, nurses and such ilk.

I like it more now than when it first came out. I sometimes watch it in syndication. Silly but funny and likable characters.

This show cracks me up everytime that i watch it! Very funny stuff!

For a couple of seasons, this hip comedy was a winner, but when a show is supposed to be about kids, and they start looking like they might soon be eligible for AARP, it's time to either end the series or recast it.

Some of the things in this show make me wonder what the writers are on but its funny.

Quirky and always very funny.

Simply put you can think it's too air headed to tell a good story or it's genius for presenting good values with a comedic twist.
Hmmmm...
I choose comedic twist.

I resent having to give this show even ONE star. Every single episode of 'Scrubs' is 22 minutes of the worst kind of most irritating, unfunny, soul-grating, sugar-coated over-ripe cheese, "IM-SO-KOOKY-HOW-RANDOM-IS-THIS?", sentimental, life's-rich-tapestry, twee, smug, schmaltzy, jam-for-brains-moronic, preachy, moralising, 100mph jet-spray of radioactive swine effluent. And you know it. "Whats the moral of this story? What did we learn today? Perhaps that every day life throws us lots of little tests, but with a little help and love from our friends, everything will be o.k. Awww." Whatever, 'Scrubs' can piss RIGHT off and shove its "randomness" and its condescending, unbelievably annoying voiceovers up its own rose-scented arse.

Its probably the one of the most unconventional comedies around. The combination of innovative screenplay, single camera set up, absence of background laughter tracks and amazing music makes this probably the most endearing of all shows. Its hard to classify this show as a sitcom as it is so much more! Sure, conventional sitcoms like Friends, Frasier etc were good but it was just way too predictable. The cliched punchlines and romantic moments combined with pretty inane background laughter tracks are passe.
Scrubs is able to impart simple life lessons through the use of comedy which I believe is the best use of this genre. It does all this without being too preachy or melodramatic. The comic part is taken care of by hilarious and absolutely insane imagination and daydreams of the lead character( J.D. played by Zach Braff). The rest of the cast is also impressively fleshed out and seem completely genuine and likeable.
I totally disagree with the notion that this a comedy for 12 year olds and the like. It is ideal for young adults making their way in the world. They can connect with the characters instantly.

this show sucks.  all my friends love it, and I have no idea why.

If you have no imagination or aspiration, then you will hate this show. It takes interesting life events and adds a boy meets world inner mono log (although much funnier). If you can't find the time to laugh at the simple things in life then this show isn't for you. and on a side note, the first two seasons were the funniest. then it went down hill.

Surreal escapism is a character that i frequently run upto that is why i can relate and find those sequences funny.i don't expect everybody to love it some people are just made not...funny.
sure i do like all the sarcasm but for me all the young actors have done a great job too.

But the really noteworthy powers are the writers, the way they incorporate the right amount of humour in those heart touching theme from which we all can seriously believe that we have learnt something. I couldn't be able to care less for the series if the head writer was changed from Bill Lawrence or J.D. was to be changed.

The cast of the scrubs as a whole are the present TV marvels we expect great from them. Sure it isn't
SEINFELD, yet it is a five star for me.


PS. I really enjoy the music it sort of evokes emotions in me.

I was never one to watch any shows on TV, only sports games such as basketball. When I was flipping through channels, I saw this show running and I thought this is a novel idea, a show about the life of a young physician. I'm aspiring to be one, and this show is amazing. It is original, its new, and its very funny. The comedy is one of a kind, and those who do not watch this show are missing out. Without a doubt, this show is a 5 star!!

One of my all time favorite comedies.It is unique,there hasn't been a show like it,ever. Zach Braff is such a talent and really carries the show in my opinion.

This show is horrible. I find it amazing that it's so wildly popular. I guess I shouldn't be so surprised when one of America's top comedians is Dane Cook.

One of the best series ever made, thats just the way it is

Best Show Ever, I swear!!!!

Best show on TV currently. I don't see how anyone cannot like it. I guess some people do not understand funny.

An outstanding show that delivers humor and at the end always gives a moral insight.

Fantastic!!!

[1/4/06 update] I was forced to watch an hour of Scrubs last night. This show's humor gets more sophmoric, scatological, and lame -- and it was bad to start with. It is stupid and horrid. Please put it off the air. If you think this is funny, you probably think "Pull my finger" was written by the comedy gods. [9/15/04 Update] I have downgraded Scrubs from 2 stars to 1 star. It is just not funny in any regard. I don't think it's me; I still laugh like a nut when I watch Seinfeld reruns. I even laugh when I see a Three Stooges short for the 30th time. Scrubs tries hard; but I groaned audibly while watching the season opener, then fell asleep halfway through (must have got tired from all the groaning). I can only surmise that people who like this show, probably think Friends and Will and Gay are hilarious, Starbucks is good, SUVs are evil, and Kerry won't tax the brains out of the middle class. [Original Rating] Scrubs does nothing for me. My wife likes; but, I find the episodes ranging from marginally amusing at best, painful to watch as a norm, or so annoying I fell asleep on the couch to get away from it at its worst. I don't care for scatological humor (toilet jokes), the mainstay of Scrubs. You can't go through an episode where poopie references or flatulence isn't employed. Critics love it; but then again, they love Friends and Will and Grace too. Yes the show is quirky, particularly the over-the-top daydreams (which I particularly detest). But this was played out in Ally McBeal. The only redeeming factor of the show is Roger C. McGinley's acerbic portrayal of Dr. Cox. His bitter sarcasm, yet veiled compassion, is funny at times and is good acting. The rest of the characters are self-absorbed cretins. The show is overated.

Very underrated. This show is awesome. Sure there are some stinkers in the series, but most of the parts are just brilliant.

This is the most underrated show around! It never seems to get any love! I Love it!

Rated high just for the superb innovative filming and staging.

The second best show on TV ( right behind arrested_ should be way higher than 5th

Its a great show

Can there be a more over-rated show on T.V.? Maybe...but you'd have to go back almost 20 years ago to the days of Geraldo and his live television broadcast of the opening of Al Capone's Secret Vault to find it.

Funny, but nothing Emmy-winning. Scrubs is unique with its situations, narration, characters, and presentation, but it falls short of what it could be by throwing in useless, cheap gimmicks that sometimes ruin episodes.

are you kidding me?
