Scrubs

Editorial Review

Editorial Review

Following a group of doctors in the fictional Sacred Heart hospital, Scrubs is one of those programs which viewers can enjoy without having to think too much.

By now, devoted viewers are likely to feel attached to the show's main characters, having watched them start off as student doctors and enduring quite possibly every embarrassingly hilarious scenario imaginable in a hospital along the way. Now the gang - John "JD" Dorian (Zach Braff), Christopher Turk (Donald Faison), and Elliot Reid (Sarah Chalke) - have all become fully fledged doctors, however they still require both professional and personal advice from nurse Carla Espinosa (Judy Reyes) and senior attending physician Dr. Perry Cox (John C. McGinley).

In this episode, viewers find out what happens between JD and Elliot after the seventh season ended with the biggest cliched cliff-hanger scenario - when two characters' eyes meet in a confused and passionate moment, but the credits roll before anything actually happens.

Although set in and around a hospital, the storylines tend to focus on the relationships between the characters and in particular the narrator - overly sensitive, metro-sexual JD. In this particular instalment, the storyline between JD and Elliott takes over, making it more of a drama than a comedy. It also gives the impression that the writers are more focussed on giving impromptu moralistic advice to their audience instead of entertaining them.

Scrubs returns to the Seven Network on Thursday, October 9, at 11:30pm.
