First off, this is not the boxed set. The product you will receive is the same as if you order each of the seasons individually. Someone has posted a photo of the set (as of 5/10/10)on this page, and this is not it.

That said, this is everything a Scrubs fan is looking for. If you're like me and you neglected to buy any of the seasons as the show aired (but love it), then here's an easy place to get them all at the same time. When I bought this set, Amazon had it on sale for $89.99. My guess is that it'll be priced there again.

With other series, I've seen various complaints posted by customers (people keep writing about all of the commercials in the Frasier set that apparently can't be skipped, that the Friends set has cheap packaging that scratches the dvds, etc.), but I can safely say that with this set I have none. If you want it, buy it. You're getting exactly what you order.

Hello,

So I saw that the Scrubs DVD Collection was on sale and since I always wanted to have it, plus all the speacial features, I decided to buy it. I choose the option of a Expedited International Shipping which should have taken about 3-4 weeks but it arrived slightly over a week, so the shiping gets 5 stars from me. (Also it arrived in perfect condition.)

I unpacked it and tried to play it on my DVD player and also on my Divx Player but it said that the DVD has the wrong region settings. (Very important to people like me who aren't DVD savy....region is very important because not all players will play the disc.) These DVD's are region 1 by the way! Although I would have liked a warning about this in the product description I probably should have checked it before I bought the DVDs. Nevertheless, I was still able to play the DVDs on my computer.

I so far have watched Seasons 1-5 and I haven't encountered any problems (besides the obvious mentioned before :P). The discs don't skip the sound is dolby digital (a.k.a. very good). There are also a lot of special features on each DVD. I made a short video review of Season 1 that you can find here:

Hope this will answer your questions about the DVD Collection :P

Have a lovely day...

Even I, who loves the show, have had a hard time keeping up with time changes, night changes and network changes that have plagued this show seemingly since its inception. But now I am saved! I have hummed and hawed for a long time about whether or not to justify the expense of $20 - $30 a season to round out my collection which ends with season three. Then Amazon threw this on a daily deal and I finally couldn't say no. I bought it. I got it. And I love it. What separates this show from the rest is the strong, big ensemble cast and the implementation of wonderful music and the show's profound (sometimes) moral lending. This show hits you with great writing, acting, story lines, and character development and truly shouldn't be missed. If you're on the fence about buying the whole shebang, then get season one. The series is fairly consistent after that. But never, ever, dull.

Scrubs was a great series, funny and touching at the same time. The first 7 seasons are almost as good as any on TV. One of the few shows that can make you laugh and cry in one eipisode. Never got the respect it should have, don't know why. The eight season showed a terrible decline in just about all areas, not really funny, tries to be touching but came off heavy handed when it does, it seems 2-3 characters were off every episode (to save money or had they given up?).

But buy it for the first 7 seasons, watch the 8th for the few gems and do what you wish for season nine. They should have a TV-law, you can't keep the name when everything about the series changes as the did in season 9.

If you're reading this review maybe you're getting this as a gift for someone so you haven't seen the show. It's a show for adults as there is some mild sexual content in most episodes. I would call it family appropriate however because there isn't obscene language or nudity, but more euphemisms and double meanings. It's a clever show with a wacky side and some poignant social commentary thrown in. This is not a medical drama although there are dramatic moments. Every side character is compelling and entertaining to watch.

For me it's the ultimate pick me up show if I'm bored or stressed and need something to take my mind off life.

This set wasn't cheap but I decided to order myself the entire Scrubs eight seasons for a Christmas present. It came fast, in perfect condition, freshly wrapped from the factory, and no glitches. The show just grabbed me - I'm an adult, female - but somehow am drawn to this collection of driven and dedicated characters; all except two: the janitor and Ted the lawyer. Those two never got beyond 2-dimension to me, even though they were given girlfriends at the end, but all the others, especially the big five (J.D., Elliot, Turk, Carla & Perry) plus Jordan and Dr. Kelso -- all came through solidly with both warts and heart. There are so many quotable lines, I am on my second watching to get them in my head for good. The flashbacks are a brilliant touch in this show -- you see enormous set-ups for a 5-second payoff in Zach's imagination playing out for us to see.

The audio commentaries are fair, but add to the appreciation of what was going on with the actors. Bill Lawrence spends a good bit of time groaning about his mistakes, which I certainly don't see. You learn that they actually got to inhabit an empty hospital building, fallen on hard economic times -- so the backdrops are all accurate. It's cute to see how many of them say they had no idea what the medical terminology meant as they were saying it. But it works. It really works like Mash worked, because they inject serious issues along with the sophomoric humor, immaturity, character flaws, etc. The show is quite deep - considering they touch on race, death, authority, and sex (well everyone touches on sex).

This is a great price on eight full seasons of this outstanding show.

Positives: Each season has an individual case, which I like. The video quality is good. The episodes seem to include a fair amount of scenes that were cut in syndication. And there are a lot of good bonus features on every disc.

Negatives: They don't include any kind of booklet or episode guide, so you have to scroll through to see the episode titles. And there's no description of the episodes, so if you're looking for a certain one without the title, you're out of luck. I find that fairly annoying, and worth a one star reduction for the set. Also, each case is enclosed in its own box/slipcase, which has exactly the same graphics as the case itself. Seems odd, and they could have done a big box to put them all into together at less expense. That's admittedly a minor quibble, though.

I purchased this set on May 7, 2010, and I have watched five seasons thus far. Arrived in perfect condition. This set contains individually boxed seasons. That was very important to me as I did not want to purchase a complete set where all 8 seasons are crammed into one box. Each individual box is exactly identical to the individual seasons you can purchase via Amazon.com. I had waited a very long time and was finally able to grab a great deal on this awesome set!

What can I say... SCRUBS is hysterical. Not sure how I missed it in prime time (Oh, yeah... college) but I am making up for it now. I love this series.
