Make an appointment with the outrageous doctors of Sacred Heart. Garnering an Emmy Award nomination for Best Comedy Series, Scrubs' fifth season is "sillier and more whimsical than ever," raves Newsday.This year, the laughs are off the charts as J.D. moves in with Turk and Carla, and Elliot uses an interesting form of blackmail in order to get her job back at the hospital. Jason Bateman and Cheryl Hines are just some of the sensational guest stars joining TV's quirkiest cast. Experience all 24 episodes, plus exclusive bonus features, including a never-before-seen extended cut of the 100th episode. It's just what the doctor ordered.
"...a medical dramedy that partakes as much of Parker Lewis Can't Lose and The Wonder Years as E.R...." Amanda DeWees, DVD Verdict
"...a character-driven show that's exceptionally well-written, and the acting is superb." Britt Gillette, The DVD Report
"...the perfect antidote for the increasingly soapy melodrama of ER...ridiculously, sublimely funny." MaryAnn Johanson, The Flick Filosopher
"...a drop-dead funny series full of witty and wonderfully strange characters..." Scott Weinberg, DVD Talk
"Completely hilarious." Sonia Mansfield, San Francisco Examiner
Editor's Note
With its deft combination of humor and heart, this single-camera sitcom is a both a critical and cult favorite. SCRUBS stars Zach Braff as J.D., an eager doctor at Sacred Heart Hospital. With J.D. as its narrator, the show frequently dips into surrealism as it shows his strange thoughts and daydreams. The rest of the characters on SCRUBS are equally eccentric: best friend Turk (Donald Faison), bossy nurse Carla (Judy Reyes), J.D.'s reluctant mentor Dr. Cox (John C. McGinley), the anxiety-ridden ex-girlfriend Elliot (Sarah Chalke), and J.D.'s arch nemesis, known simply as "Janitor" (Neil Flynn). With guest stars such as Jason Bateman and Cheryl Hines, the fifth season earned an Emmy nod for Best Comedy Series. This season also includes the show's 100th episode, a crafty homage to THE WIZARD OF OZ.

5 stars out of 5 -- [There are] laughs aplenty mixed with beautifully played character moments....Simply excellent." 08/01/2007 p.108DVD Talk 10 of 10
I love Scrubs. Since episode 1 of season 1. Love love love it. So understand that you're about to read a rambling and enthusiastic review written from the perspective who of someone who already adores A) the brilliantly melodious comedy writing, B) the crackerjack comic timing from a flawless ensemble, and C) the lead actress known as Sarah Chalke...Not only is Scrubs a drop-dead funny series full of witty and wonderfully strange characters that delights and surprises me with every passing season; it's one of the very few bright and shining examples of how one "sitcom" can put its competition to shame. - Scott Weinberg
