Newbies -- Examines The Actors Before They Were Cast

Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com

The sitcom may be flatlining, but as long as there are fresh and original series like Scrubs, the prognosis isn't entirely negative. Created by Bill Lawrence, Scrubs is an interns'-eye view of hospital life and the torturous, tragic, and triumphant route to becoming a doctor. The eminently likeable Zach Braff heads the cast as "newbie" J.D., whose years of medical school haven't quite prepared him for chaotic Sacred Heart Hospital. Family Guy has nothing on the live-action Scrubs when it comes to surreal asides and fantasy sequences (for example, J.D. literally becomes the proverbial deer in the headlights when he cannot answer a medical query), pop culture references, and TV Land casting (John Ritter guest stars as J.D.'s negligent father in "My Old Man," and St. Elsewhere veterans William Daniels, Ed Begley, Jr., Stephen Furst, and Eric Laneuville appear as Legionnaire's-stricken doctors in "My Sacrifical Clam"). With surgical precision, this inaugural season charts J.D.'s growth as a doctor and a human being, and the close-knit bonds he forms with his equally overwhelmed peers and colleagues, including best friend and surgeon Chris Turk (Donald Faison), beautiful, but raw-nerved and by-the-book Elliot Reid (Sarah Chalke), and supportive nurse Carla Espinoza (Judy Reyes'), who affectionately nicknames J.D. "Bambi." But at the heart of the series is J.D.'s relationship with his mentor, Dr. Cox (an Emmy-worthy John C. McGinley), a cross between Obi-Wan Kenobi and a pit bull. Giving Scrubs a further shot of adrenaline are recurring characters Jordan (Christa Miller Lawrence), Dr. Cox's satanic ex-wife, and Neil Flynn as the Janitor, who torments J.D. just as Larry Miller menaced Jerry in the Seinfeld episode "The Doorman."

Scrubs' animated sensibility allows for inexplicable cameos by Jimmie Walker or, at one point, an impromptu West Side Story-esque dance-off to convey the schism between the surgeons and other doctors. But while hilariously funny, Scrubs, too, can break your heart, as in the two-parter "My Occurrence"/"My Hero," with guest star Brendan Fraser as Jordan's spontaneously spirited brother, who is diagnosed with leukemia, and "My Old Lady," in which J.D., Elliot, and Chris experience for the first time losing a patient. Scrubs is one of NBC's few remaining "Must-See" series, but it has not been well-served by the network. Whether you're a "newbie" or devoted viewer, this DVD release is just what the doctor ordered. --Donald Liebenson

Product Description

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).

5.0 out of 5 stars Absolutely MUST-See TV September 5, 2004
Format:DVD|Amazon Verified Purchase
In this age of unbelieveable pablum and slit-your-wrists must-miss television, it is unfathomable to me that this phenomenal, well-written, well-acted, and flat-out fantastic television show has been so badly used by NBC, and that they're uncertain about releasing it on DVD. Just this week I happened on the season premiere of 4th season, hidden away on the schedule at 7:30 SATURDAY night, and this after three seasons of bouncing it around the schedule like an unwanted stray. It's as though the network wants to kill it, when it could be, if given the chance, every bit as big a success as "Friends," "Fraiser," and "Will & Grace." Yes, it's quirky, but it's a masterpiece of television genius, and deserves better treatment. I hope to see the early seasons on DVD soon!

5.0 out of 5 stars Scrubs Is The Most Original Comedy In Years June 10, 2006
Format:DVD
Usually when a show begins and grows overtime, it endures growing pains. But with Season 1 of Scrubs, that doesn't seem to be the case. In fact, to date it may still infact be my favourite season of Scrubs too date.

These are the episodes you will get with this 3 disc set, which is every episode from season 1

Season 1-1 My First day

Season 1-2 My Mentor

Season 1-3 My Best Friends Mistake

Season 1-4 My Old Lady

Season 1-5 My Two Dads

Season 1-6 My Bad

Season 1-7 My Super Ego

Season 1-8 My Fifteen Minutes

Season 1-9 My Day Off

Season 1-10 My Nickname

Season 1-11 My Own Personal Jesus

Season 1-12 My Blind Date

Season 1-13 My Balancing Act

Season 1-14 My Drug Buddy

Season 1-15 My Bed Bantor & Beyond

Season 1-16 My Heavy Meddle

Season 1-17 My Student

Season 1-18 My Tuscaloosa Heart

Season 1-19 My Old Man

Season 1-20 My Way or The Highway

Season 1-21 My Sacrifial Clam

Season 1-22 My Occurence

Season 1-23 My Hero

Season 1-24 My Last Day

Season 1 is a must see for any Scrubs fan who may have missed out or may just want to relive the series from the beggining. If you are not a Scrubs fan, or have never seen the show, this DVD is the best place to start.

This DVD has a great deal of laughs, but it also has its moments which slow down and make you think. An episode of which is My Old Lady, in which JD has to deal with losing a patient for the first time since joining the staff as an intern. My Hero also see's Dr. Cox displaying a true sense of emotion and fear for the first time in the series, in which his friend (Brenden Frasier) is ill. You also get to see the relationship between Turk and Carla begin, as well as JD and Elliots rocky relationship start up.

Scrubs will make you laugh, but it could also make you cry. In a time when we see generic sitcoms shoved in our faces, and its hard to tell which is which. Scrubs stands out from these other shows, it has its own wacky sense, and characters unlike any other show. The only misfortune of being a fan of the series, is the fact the network doesn't show it as much respect as they do other shows on the network.

If you are a fan of funny television, which is different and unlike anything else. You owe it to yourself to pick up the greatest comedy on television today, the people at Sacred Heart will not dissapoint you.

4.0 out of 5 stars Calling Dr. Bambi... May 18, 2005
By Cubist
Format:DVD
Scrubs is a medical comedy about a group of new interns who are adjusting to the demands of working on the front lines of a busy hospital. There's J.D. (Braff), the idealistic one who also narrates the show, Turk (Faison), the cocky surgical intern and Elliot (Chalke), the goofy ditz whom J.D. has is attracted to, while Turk is drawn to Carla (Reyes), a sarcastic nurse. In his day-to-day routine, J.D. has to deal with the tough and demanding Dr. Cox (McGinley), the gleefully pompous Dr. Kelso (Jenkins) and a mean janitor (Flynn) who delights in tormenting the young intern.

The show has an engaging zany sense of humour reminiscent of early Zucker Abrams and Zucker movies (Airplane!, Top Secret), complete with snappy dialogue and visualizing what J.D. imagines in any given situation. For example, in a moment of complete exasperation and frustration J.D.'s head quite literally explodes. Or, to illustrate the competitive nature with Elliot, we see the two race down a hallway like something out of track and field meet complete with Cheap Trick blasting away on the soundtrack.

The first disc starts off with "Newbies," a featurette where the show's creator, Bill Lawrence talks briefly about how he created Scrubs and incorporated real stories from friends who were doctors. The writers talk about how a season and an episode are constructed. The writers work closely with the actors and play to their strengths. The cast talk about their roles with input from Lawrence.

There is an audio commentary on "My First Day" by Bill Lawrence. Like Arrested Development, Scrubs is a sitcom that only uses one camera which made the network nervous. He touches upon the evolution of the characters and offers some good observations.

Lawrence returns on the commentary for "My Old Lady" with Zach Braff along for the ride. They joke around in this light and engaging track.

Lawrence and actor Neil Flynn provide commentary on "My Fifteen Minutes." Flynn dispels the myth that he adlibs all of his lines and they talk about the colourful extras and reoccurring supporting cast that appear in this episode.

The second DVD features a music video for the show's jaunty theme song, "Superman" by Lazlo Bane in its entirety with behind-the-scenes clips of the show mixed with footage of the band performing.

"The Doctor is In" is a brief featurette with Braff talking about he got on the show despite an awful audition. Braff talks about meeting the rest of the cast and his impressions of them in this entertaining extra.

"Alternate Lines: A Second Opinion" is a nine minute reel of different takes from various scenes by Flynn, Braff and the very funny John C. McGinley.

Also included is an audio commentary on "My Blind Date" by Lawrence and Braff once again. They comment on the performances of the supporting cast and talk about the network's insistence that J.D.'s girlfriend in the episode had to be beautiful.

The third disc features "Not Just Another Medical Show," a featurette that examines how Lawrence wanted to avoid shooting in a studio in favour of on location in a converted, run-down hospital. The show's technical advisors talk about how they try to keep the show's medical jargon and situations authentic.

"Favorite Moments" sees the cast and crew recounting their cherished bits from the show. They talk about how it also deals with real issues in between comedic set pieces and the guest stars that graced the first season.

There is also a four minute "Outtakes Reel," a montage of blown lines and goofy takes that give a little insight into how much fun the cast and crew must have working on the show.

Also included is ten minutes worth of deleted scenes. Sadly, they aren't put in any context so it's hard to figure out what episode they're from. However, there are some really funny bits and it's a shame that they were cut.

There is an audio commentary on "My Sacrificial Clam" by Lawrence and actors Sam Lloyd and Robert Maschio. Not surprisingly, the actors talk about their characters and laugh along with the episode. Maschio provides a lot of the humour on this amusing track.

Finally, there is a commentary for "My Hero" by Lawrence and John C. McGinley. This episode shows Dr. Cox's vulnerable side and fleshes out his character. Contrary to his on-screen persona, McGinley is pretty low-key on this solid track.
