Scrubs deserve more love, they were first successful sitcom without laugh track and they so many sad moments.

[ChildOfDarkDefiance]

No reboot! No. This show is brilliant and should be left alone.

The death of Brendan Fraser's character Benji really got me. His character would make the normally grumpy and cynical characters like Jordan and Dr Cox into happy people when they were around him... And then he died.

I actually met Robert Maschio aka The Todd at Newcastle Comic Con 2016. Has to be one of the kindness people I have ever met.

This is 1 of very few shows that I cry because of. "Where do you think we are"? Gets me every time

[piffny]

YES this is one of my favourite shows ever! I'm so glad these scenes were kept in

[tefweebz]

Sarah’s delivery of “STOP FINISHING MY AWESOME JOKES!!!” is one of the best moments of the show.😂

I remember hearing a story about how one of the episodes came into existence on accident. Apparently, the writers would pitch options for shows for the studio to greenlight, and when they really wanted to make a specific story, they would make the alternative really dumb/ridiculous. In this case, they wanted to make an episode about the doctors trying to get Marijuana for a dying cancer patient, but to make it more appealing, they paired it with a similar storyline, but instead the doctors are searching for a prostitute so the patient dying of cancer can have sex for the first (and likely last) time. The studio chose the prostitute episode.

Just on my 14th rewatch of the series, the Janitor is freaking amazing.

[xdcmvus]

“benign, be-nine and a half” is one of the janitor’s best lines ever

[twtchr]

While finding out Kelso's age, janitor appears in the elevator and says "you're old" then asks for a high five. In between takes, he told me to have the elevator door close on him when he goes for the high five, and everyone on set thought I screwed up until he kept the ad lib going. As soon as they yelled cut, everyone was laughing hysterically

Script: [Janitor Talks]
Neil Flynn: *cracks neck* Showtime.

We all know that John Ritter became JD's dad due to his resamblance to Zach Braff (or rather other way around), but did you know that they wanted Dax Shepard to play his brother too? Braff and Faison were talking about it in their podcast. It didn't happen because of scheduling issues.

[prosen]

I ADORED Cox!! And since I think John Cusack is totally amazing and Robert Redford hung the moon, I think he chose his idols well… 🥰🥰🥰

[tough]

Braf and Faizon sell a shirt of them in comic form doing "The Eagle" for charity. It's one of my prized possessions.

[magdelinecarrasco]

I’m still wondering how “knive-wrench” came to live 🤣🤣🤣

[Positivityispowerful]

I started watching scrubs thinking it would be like grey’s anatomy 😂😂

[marialuisamoraes]

Please do a TV shows couples list of any kind so you can open a spot to remember Jelliott. I love them SO MUCH and really think they're one of the best sitcoms couple, but often forgotten

[jt]

You forget the most important part of Neil Flynn: The janitor was entirely imaginary. In the 1st season you can see he only interact with J.D and in final episode he was supposed to be revealed to be a figment of JD's imagination. It was because he was too good the show decided to make him real.

[c.ladimore]

love that show. still watch it. dr. jan itor just might be the best part. let's just forget season 9
