The Scrubs Season 1 DVD collects all 24 episodes of Bill Lawrence's hospital comedy on 3 discs, from Buena Vista Home Entertainment's release of May 17, 2005.
This listing is a pre-owned copy in Good condition. It is the US Buena Vista DVD release, presented in its original 1.33:1 full-frame format, and it plays in DVD and Blu-ray players.
Scrubs Season 1 aired on NBC from October 2, 2001 to May 21, 2002. Created by Bill Lawrence, it follows J.D. (Zach Braff) through his first year as a doctor, told through his daydreams and inner narration.
Sarah Chalke plays Elliot, Donald Faison plays J.D.'s best friend Turk, Judy Reyes plays nurse Carla, Ken Jenkins plays Dr. Kelso and John C. McGinley plays the sharp-tongued Dr. Cox. Neil Flynn plays the Janitor.
The season runs from the pilot, "My First Day," to the finale, "My Last Day." Highlights include "My Old Lady" and "My Old Man," in which John Ritter guest-stars. Writer Matt Tarses won the Humanitas Prize in the 30-minute category for "My Old Lady."
What makes the first season stand out is its balance. Quick cutaway jokes and J.D.'s fantasies sit alongside honest moments about patients, mistakes and the pressure of a first job in medicine. That blend of comedy and drama became the show's signature.
Buena Vista filled this first-season set with extras for fans who want a look behind the scenes:
One note for longtime fans: some of the music heard in the original broadcasts was changed for the Scrubs Season 1 DVD release, so a few scenes may sound different from how you remember them.

amazingly original and mature…
I bought Scrubs Season 1 DVD about a year ago. Before that, I never saw the show on TV. That Zach Braff is in it, as one of the main characters, was reassuring. And I read a review somewhere, which was mentioning the show’s “quirky sense of humor.” With this, I could sort of picture a medical drama with a Garden State-type of humor. A drama that has “real” people as its characters, that finds laughs in mundane details and combines it with a unique pathos, or at times, insights. If the show can meet half the expectation I have, I wouldn’t be painfully disappointed, I figured and bought the DVD.
Then I was amazed and really pleased. While basically being a show I expected, Scrubs went far beyond my expectation. I remember my gasping, on the first viewing, at moments that I did not really expect to see from a network TV show. These moments abound from the very first episode. For instance, when JD asks Turk if he can use the “extremely volatile racial slur,” that is the “n”-word, when he sings a rap song. Or when he tells Eliot that she should “tease” Turk for his being black. Or Carla’s retort when JD compliments Turk for his starting to have sex with her on a regular basis (“My man Turk is now getting it daily, nightly, and ever so rightly”): “why do you automatically assume that he and I are having sex? Do latina women put out more?”
These moments are refreshing and can even be taken as culturally significant because they may signal a certain degree of freedom from the kind of political correctness we are assumed to conform to as to the issue of someone’s race. These moments are also endearing because they do *not* appeal to the racial stereotypes or prejudices we may have but invite us to rethink about them. In this regard, at least, I think Scrubs is far superior to Grey’s Anatomy, another medical drama where racial issues are not really candidly or thoughtfully dealt with.
If you choose to look at it that way, every show (or movie, or novel, for that matter) is about three things: race, gender, and class. Scrubs’ way of dealing with these three issues is amazingly original and mature. While having hard laughs, you find yourself rethinking about the notions you previously held as to these, and beginning to think of what the show is really saying. Of course, Scrubs is not an “issue” show. Far from it. If it makes you think, it does so in a really subtle, charming way.
I actually have used the show as class discussion material in my composition classes. Every (I mean, “every”) student responded to the show strongly and found it delightful, pertaining, and very, very funny. In these classes, I could attest the “greatness” of the show. I have now watched the first season scores of times, and am sure that, if you are willing to, you can “do philosophy” with Scrubs, the way a group of philosophers did with The Simpsons (“The Simpsons and Philosophy”: another very helpful resource for freshman composition class teachers).

One of the funniest shows on television that no one is watching
Scrubs is one of those unique comedies that requires you to decide what is funny and what is not because there is no laugh track. So I tend to find myself laughing all the time. Scrubs has one of the best casts I have seen in awhile. All of the actors seem like they have known each other for years. And John C. McGinley’s performance as Dr. Cox is one of the best characters in television history. The character is so mean, evil and sarcastic yet you can’t help but love him. McGinley deserves an Emmy nomination, at the least, for this great role.
Scrubs is a very well written show that just has not gotten the respect that it deserves. It is constantly shuffled around on NBC’s schedule and the biggest injustice of all is that NBC left the show of it’s fall schedule. One of the funniest shows on television has now been turned into a midseason replacement and that is just a tragedy. That is why I am glad to see that Scrubs has now been released on DVD. Now I can watch this show whenever I choose and it can get the proper attention and respect it deserves. Maybe if this series sells well on DVD NBC will realize what a gem they have and return it to the schedule. Also I am glad that they are not hesistating to release future episodes in a timely fashion. I look forward to getting season 2 when it is released.
If you are looking for a good laugh and love to repeat lines from television shows over and over then this is the show for you. If given a chance you will not regret buying this set. I dare you not to laugh at this show.

You gotta love the janitor. . .
Scrubs is one of those shows that doesn’t get the ratings that it truly deserves, and because of that, often doesn’t get the attention when it comes to recognition and award shows.
That did change a little this year when the show received some nominations, and a look back at the first season shows where this smart and very funny show got its roots and how everything got started.
The show follows the life of a trio of interns as they enter their first jobs at Sacred Heart hospital. Zach Braff is the series’ main star, as he plays John J.D. Dorian, who provides the voice overs for much the show and additionally, the show is written mainly from his perspective, which is obvious by the titles of every episode: “My Hero,” “My Last Day,” etc. Braff is a great actor and this character really fits him well. In the first season, as a doctor probably is at that point in his life, J.D. is pretty nervous and unsure of himself. Braff projects that innocence, and as the season moves along, the growing confidence, very well.
Donald Faison plays J.D.’s best friend Chris Turk, a surgical intern. The two roomates have been friends for years and their relationship serves as a great catalyst for both humerous moments and serious issues. Turk begins his relationship with nurse Carla Espinoza (Judy Reyes) in this very first season. Their chemistry is very good, and like the relationship with J.D. and Turk, serves as a great story line.
Sarah Chalke is the third intern of the group, nervous Elliot Reed. She has serious issues in many walks of her life, including guys and her family. She is very unsure of herself, and of the three characters, remains the most unsure of herself as the season goes on. Her character is great and works well off of the rest of the cast. She and J.D.’s ever-changing relationship is just one more story that flows throughout the season, and as the years go on, through other seasons.
John C. McGinley is great as Dr. Perry Cox, a senior doctor on the staff, who enjoys giving all the interns a hard time, but he finds J.D. particularly amusing, constantly referring to him as any number of girls’ names. He does have a respect for the young doctor and that is shown at a number of points in the season, but his great comic chops are what make him one of the funniest guys on television. His back and forth with chief of staff Bob Kelso (Ken Jenkins) is also a lot of fun.
While he wasn’t a credited star in the first season, one of the best characters on the show is the janitor, played by Neil Flynn. There really is no way to describe his sense of humor, you just have to see it for yourself.
Recurring stars Sam Lloyd (Ted the lawyer), Robert Machio (The Todd) and Christa Miller-Lawrence (Jordan Sullivan, Cox’s ex-wife) add some great moments to the show and guest stars Brendan Fraser and John Ritter are fantastic in their limited roles on the show.
This set also includes a great stock of extras, including commentaries by creator Bill Lawrence and a number of different cast members. There is also a feature looking at the cast before they were “Scrubs,” plus many interviews with crew and cast members. These extras really make this DVD set shine.
For a great comedy, one that doesn’t get the attention that it often deserves, pick up this set. It is well worth the price.
