As you can see by all the reviews this is a fantastic show and I could go on forever about it. NBC has a gem here that they have failed to truly recognize. Yes it is true that it has been jerked around the schedule, but at least it has made it to season 4.

The last sit-com I remember with this kind of consistent quality in story and laughs was a litte darling of the critics that lasted all of 2 seasons. It was called SPORTS NIGHT (developed by the same guy who wrote WEST WING) and if you never saw it,well that comes as no suprise. The reason I reference SPORTS NIGHT is because I see A LOT of similarities in that show and Scrubs. The humor is sharp, fast paced and never set up so poorly that you see the joke long before it arrives. More importantly the characters are so well acted in both shows that you feel you know these people. Both shows also offer great humanistic messages in their more serious moments and without the feeling that someone just delivered a sermon and you have to choke it down.

If you are by chance reading this and have never seen Scrubs and you enjoy smart comedy about the foibles of being human and the fun and pain of human interaction, then look no further for this is one amazing
show. And if you ARE a fan of Scrubs and have never seen SPORTS NIGHT? Let me give you my whole hearted endorsement of that show. You can buy the complete season in one box set (like I said it only lasted 2 seasons)

If NBC wants to return to it's glory days it needs to put more shows like Scrubs on. Not Clones or RIP OFFS but simply better television with well written stories and well acted characters. HERE'S HOPING FOR A FIFTH SEASON OF Scrubs
