Posted on 01. Jun, 2009 by americanTV in Scrubs

“Scrubs” is a comedy series that tells the story of the life and the experiences of a new medical intern, John Dorian. The show chronicles the life and his experiences at the hospital as he interacts with the unpredictable staffers and patients of the hospital. John Dorian has his support group as well. There is Chris Turk played by Donald Faison as his college friend and an intern with the elite surgical group and there is the beautiful Elliot Reid, played by Sarah Chalke. She is the medical intern and the object of JD’s affection. Playing supporting roles on Scrubs are Dr. Bob Kelso  (Ken Jenkins) who focuses more on profits and there is also Dr Phil Cox (John McGinley) and the jaded nurse Carla Espinosa.

“Scrubs”focuses on the unique vantage and the point of view of the show’s narrator and protagonist, JD. For each of the episodes of the Scrubs, there are multiple storylines that are treated and these many story threads are all linked thematically using the voice over done by the protagonist of the show. Another interesting feature of some of the episodes of the show is the presence of many comical dreams of JD and these are spiced with the traditional situation comedy style lines and these lines are often the product of the line improvisations coming from the lead actors of the show.

Every title of the show starts with the possessive pronoun like “My” and this is the case because for each episode Dr John Dorian writes his diary. There are some exemptions as well in terms of how the titles are made. Other than the narration of JD at the start and the end of every episode, there are also some narrations that are being made by other characters in the middle of these episodes.
