Anyone know if this will ever come out on dvd? Scrubs is in the top 5 shows on TV right now...my opinion..
I have no clue, but it's your 82nd post.
Probably not soon, but I agree that it is a humorous show. It will inevitably be on DVD, I just doubt it will soon.
I'm sure NBC will try to syndicate it once it finishes it's run. Don't count on that happening though. Scrubs is a great show and NBC no longer has the flagship of Friends to back--they're going to be looking for the next best thing and Scrubs is high on the list.
So probably three more seasons of Scrubs, then syndication, and look for the Season 1 disk in 2009.
i just bought scrubs yesterday @ a local record store. i love the show but when i worked @ the thrift store, i had no real time to catch it. now it's on dvd i think it's the greatest thing ever!! best sitcom on tv right now, hands down. i have a hetero crush on zach braff...
i love this show. i started watching it last year when Season One and Two came out on DVD and then managed to catch up with 3 and 4 and through the first part of the new season all in the last month or two. the entire cast is great. at first i was sort of offput by how incredibly mean almost all the characters were in the first season but its something that you ease into. in addition to being pretty hilarious its also pretty involving with bits of drama and soap opera thrown in. and the best part is that in 5 seasons the quality has never wavered. the whole show is great and it never feels forced. its not quite as groundbreaking as Arrested Development but it's definitely a great show in it's own right. i'm actually a big Zach Braff fan now. :shock:

how is AD groundbreaking? to keep it relevant, if you mean the cutaways and nonsense, Scrubs was doing that 2 years earlier. and i don't think scrubs is groundbreaking.
first show to have a characters hand bitten off by a seal.
Arrested Development was like a gift from God. Seinfeld took the sitcom as far as it could go with the traditional 4 camera setup and AD was heir apparent to the Seinfeld throne. AD took the sitcom to the NEXT place. The show is so smart and so dense with comedy its impossible to catch it all on one viewing. Repeat viewings only yield more rewards. How many times have you seen the episodes?
Too bad Scrubbs kinda sucks now. I guess they kinda gave up when they stopped being popular. Now it's just the same predictable shit over and over.
It's a shame... could have been a really good series.
really? i said i think its just as good as it ever has been. why dont you think its as good anymore? sure, the show has had a formula for the episodes pretty much since the beginning but its consistently funny and the characters have changed naturally while remaning true to who they are. what do you think is worse?
Scrubs sort of had a general formula anyways (always Braff's narration at the end, over a montage of the characters doing stuff), and the wackiness of the Scrubs universe sometimes seemed forced. Still, the episodes I've seen (most of the first season and some of the second) were entertaining and funny.
I didn't know of it becoming bad since I haven't watched it lately. It's not as bad as That 70s Show is now, is it?

Arrested Development took the idea of a Seinfeld or Curb episode to the next level. It's whole run, spanning something like 50 episodes, was like one Seinfeld episode the way the different plot lines came together at the end. As funny and great Curb is, it just doesn't match up to the brilliance of Arrested Development.

Oh god no... it's still watchable.
and I still occasionally watch it.
The thing is that it was never brilliant, it just always had potential. I would watch it and think "they'll eventually get over this forced drama-in-a-comedy bit or at least find a way to make it less awkward and annoying" because it was the first couple seasons and most decent shows get better within the second or third season. Instead, it became trapped inside that need to have everything fit inside it's unpleasant formula and just started reliving all the same gags and cutesy facial expressions. Now I just don't give half a shit about any of the characters and unfortunately, a good deal of the show relies on that.
I've noticed that they're doing a lot of back to backs... maybe they're gearing it up to be an hour long show? If this were the case, they could make everything seem less forced and more natural... the show could get better.
Has anyone had the misfortune of watching this season? It's so god awful now. Season 6 was the first sign of problems when they started getting too serious and too preachy, but it's gotten so bad that it borders on embarrassing. It's "last season of Night Court" bad.
i never liked it, it's the Family Guy of live action "comedy".
SPOILERS
I borrowed the first four seasons from a friend, and it was enjoyable. I think the fourth season was the highlight, but somehow it tanked immediately in season five and season six was a joke. Suddenly everyone was having kids and every joke was about that. It's not like maturing the comedy would be a problem, but if it wasn't JD freaking out about his kid, it was Eliot wishing she had one, Carla and Turk panicking about their own and their marriage, Dr. Cox coping with becoming a stale character. Well, they all became stale, really.
If you want to be charmed by the show and keep it pristine in your mind, don't watch more than the first four seasons... sober. In fact, don't watch any of it sober at all. It makes it all the sweeter.
