The following is a complete '''episode list''' for the television show '''''[[Scrubs (TV series)|Scrubs]]''''', which began being broadcast on October 2, 2001.
{{DISPLAYTITLE:List of ''Scrubs'' episodes}}
''[[Scrubs (TV series)|Scrubs]]'' is an American [[medical drama|medical]] [[comedy-drama]] television series created by [[Bill Lawrence (producer)|Bill Lawrence]], which premiered on October 2, 2001 on [[NBC]]. NBC had originally announced that ''Scrubs'' would end after its seventh season, containing a reduced 18 episodes.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.medialifemagazine.com/artman/publish/article_12079.asp |title=NBC stands by its edgy shows for fall |work=[[Media Life Magazine]] |last=Fitzgerald |first=Toni |date=May 15, 2007 |access-date=February 22, 2011 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110706225258/http://www.medialifemagazine.com/artman/publish/article_12079.asp |archive-date=July 6, 2011 }}</ref> However, the [[2007–2008 Writers Guild of America strike]] ended up cutting the show's episodes down to 11, and ''Scrubs'' ended its run on NBC with a total of 150 episodes.


The cast returned to film an additional 19 episodes, which were aired as Season 8 by [[American Broadcasting Company|ABC]], with much of the story coming to a close, and definitive though somewhat flexible endings for the characters. The one-hour season finale, "[[My Finale]]", which was originally planned to also be the series finale, ranked third in the ratings and was watched by 5.1 million viewers, 2.1 adults 18-49 rating.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.tvweek.com/blogs/ratings-chart-attack/2009/05/scrubs_season_finale_not_too_b.php |title=Ratings Chart Attack! - 'Scrubs' Season Finale Not Too Bubbly |work=TVWeek |date=May 8, 2009 |access-date=February 22, 2011 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110717115135/http://www.tvweek.com/blogs/ratings-chart-attack/2009/05/scrubs_season_finale_not_too_b.php |archive-date=July 17, 2011 }}</ref> The episode garnered mostly positive response from the viewers as well as critics.

However, as of mid-April 2008, the cast returned to film an additional 19 episodes to be run as Season 8 by ABC. In addition, a special called "My Charlie Brown Christmas" was created by Daniel Russ and Ryan Levin for the Scrubs 2003 Christmas party, it is a re-cut and re-dub of ''[[A Charlie Brown Christmas]]'', starring the cast of ''Scrubs''.<ref>{{cite web| url=http://www.tvsquad.com/2006/12/09/a-charlie-brown-christmas-scrubs-style-video/| title=A Charlie Brown Christmas ...

With speculation mounting over a possible ninth season that would focus on new characters and perhaps a new setting, [[American Broadcasting Company|ABC]] announced on May 15, 2009, that it renewed ''Scrubs'' for a ninth season called ''Scrubs: Med School''. The season premiered on December 1, 2009. [[Donald Faison]] and [[John C. McGinley]] are the only original cast members returning as regular characters, while [[Zach Braff]] appeared in six episodes. [[Sarah Chalke]], [[Neil Flynn]] and [[Ken Jenkins]] returned as guest stars, while [[Judy Reyes]] did not appear at all.
As of April 22, 2009, '''166''' episodes of ''Scrubs'' have been broadcast. The first seven seasons are available on [[DVD]] in [[DVD region coding|Regions]] 1, 2 and 4.


In addition to the regular episodes, a special called "My Charlie Brown Christmas" was created by Daniel Russ and Ryan Levin for the ''Scrubs'' 2003 Christmas party, which is a re-cut and re-dub of ''[[A Charlie Brown Christmas]]'', starring the cast of ''Scrubs''.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.aoltv.com/2006/12/09/a-charlie-brown-christmas-scrubs-style-video/|title=A Charlie Brown Christmas ...

As a general rule, all series episode titles begin with the word "My", unless the bulk of the episode is narrated by someone other than J.D., in which case they are named "His Story", "Her Story", or "Their Story", with [[Roman numerals]] denoting subsequent episodes by the same name. During Season 9, episode titles started with the word "Our" instead of "My".
==Season 1: 2001-2002== <!-- do not change w/o fixing refs in Scrubs (TV series)#Episodes -->
The first season follows [[J.D. (Scrubs)|J.D.]] ([[Zach Braff]]) and his best friend [[Chris Turk|Turk]] ([[Donald Faison]]) in their first year out of medical school as interns at Sacred Heart Hospital. J.D. quickly meets his reluctant mentor, Dr. [[Perry Cox]] ([[John C. McGinley]]); an attractive young woman (and fellow intern) named [[Elliot Reid|Elliot]] ([[Sarah Chalke]]), on whom he has a crush; the [[Janitor (Scrubs)|hospital's janitor]] ([[Neil Flynn]]), who goes out of his way to make J.D.'s life miserable; the Chief of Medicine, Dr. [[Bob Kelso]] ([[Ken Jenkins]]), who is more concerned about the budget than the patients; and [[Carla Espinosa]] ([[Judy Reyes]]), the head nurse and Turk's new girlfriend, who puts Turk through the trials and tribulations of being in a serious relationship. The characters face romances and relationship issues, family obligations, overwhelming paperwork, and a tremendous number of patients. The first season also introduces minor characters such as "[[The Todd]]" ([[Robert Maschio]]), a surgeon and sexual deviant; [[Ted Buckland|Ted]] ([[Sam Lloyd (actor)|Sam Lloyd]]), the hospital's sad-sack lawyer; [[Laverne Roberts|Laverne]] ([[Aloma Wright]]), a nurse and Carla's good friend; [[Jordan Sullivan]] ([[Christa Miller]]), an administrative official and Dr. Cox's ex-wife and [[Doug Murphy]] ([[Johnny Kastl]]), a nervous young doctor who often accidentally kills patients.


A total of 182 episodes of ''Scrubs'' were broadcast over nine seasons. All nine seasons are available on [[DVD]] in [[DVD region code|Regions]] 1, 2 and 4.

==Season 4: 2004-2005== <!-- do not change w/o fixing refs in Scrubs (TV series)#Episodes -->
In Season 4, J.D. finishes his residency and becomes a full-blown colleague of Dr. Cox, although their dynamic does not change much. As the season opens, Turk arrives from his honeymoon with Carla but they soon have issues when Carla tries to change many things about her new husband. Their marriage and Turk's friendship with J.D. are also endangered when J.D. and Carla share a drunken kiss. Dr. Cox and Jordan learn that their divorce was not final, but this seemingly good news causes friction. Elliot is still angry with J.D. for breaking her heart, and the situation becomes more uncomfortable still when she dates J.D.'s brother. J.D. has a new love interest of his own when a new and very attractive psychiatrist, Dr. Molly Clock ([[Heather Graham (actress)|Heather Graham]]), arrives at Sacred Heart. Molly also serves as Elliot's mentor during her time at the hospital.

Though a full season of 24 episodes was produced for the fifth season, [[NBC]] decided against broadcasting them during the 2005&ndash;2006 fall <!-- PLEASE RETAIN AMERICAN SPELLING. See discussion on Talk page, or refer to Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style#National_varieties_of_English. American show, American network, set in America - American spelling. -->schedule. On December 1, 2005, NBC announced the return of ''Scrubs'' for mid-season. At first, two new episodes were broadcast back-to-back every Tuesday at 9:00 p.m. [[North American Eastern Time Zone|ET]]. The first twelve episodes of the season were broadcast in this fashion, then NBC returned to broadcasting one new episode every week (still at 9:00 p.m. ET), followed by a ''Scrubs'' rerun. For the first three weeks of this, the old episode was a cast favorite episode, with available audio [[Audio commentary (DVD)|commentary tracks]] on NBC's website to accompany the episodes. After this, with the premiere of ''[[Teachers (US TV series)|Teachers]]'' in the 9:30 p.m. time slot, new ''Scrubs'' episodes continued to be broadcast at 9:00 p.m., with previous season five episodes being broadcast in the 8:30 p.m. time slot before.

On May 15, 2006, NBC announced that ''Scrubs'' had been renewed for a full season (2006–2007), although it would be a mid-season replacement rather than appearing on NBC's autumn 2006 schedule (as was the case for the show's fifth season). On October 25, NBC announced that, on November 30, ''Scrubs'' would move to Thursdays at 9:00pm, as part of [[Must See TV|two full hours of comedy]] (''[[My Name Is Earl]]'', ''[[The Office (US TV series)|The Office]]'', ''Scrubs'', and ''[[30 Rock]]''). Over the course of the season, J.D. and the other characters must mature to fill the different roles required of them. J.D., for instance, is cast in the role of expecting father since his girlfriend, Dr. Kim Briggs, is pregnant with his child. Turk and Carla become parents when Carla gives birth to their daughter, Isabella Turk. Elliot plans her wedding to Keith, although she and J.D. still harbor feelings for each other. Dr. Cox, as father of two children with Jordan, struggles to prevent his foul disposition from affecting his parenting. Important issues are touched upon, such as the importance of leadership, whether everything happens for a reason, and even death.

|colspan="6"|Dr. Cox feels like the TV character ''[[Gregory House|House]]'' when he has to solve several mysteries. One of them is that Elliot is angry at Dr. Kelso, but is taking her anger out on Turk for some reason. Carla is showing early signs of [[postpartum depression]], while J.D. tries to be a better boyfriend for Kim and at the same time has to solve the problem of a heart-failure-patient who is apparently healthy, and Turk and Dr. Cox find another mystery when a patient's husband is "as orange as an NBA gameball". Guest-stars [[Dave Foley]] as Dr. Hedrick and [[Elizabeth Banks]] as Dr. Kim Briggs.
References to [[House (TV series)]]:
*The case of an orange man was originally found in the [[Pilot (House episode)|Pilot]] of ''[[House (TV series)|House]]'', although that diagnosis was carrots and large doses of [[niacin]], found in Megavitamins (rather than tomatoes in Scrubs.)
*Dr. Cox's use of a cane after he hurt his foot is in homage to Dr. House's constant use of a cane, due to the partial loss in functionality of his leg. Dr. Cox only uses the cane after a paint can falls on to his foot while Janitor is painting Elliot's new office. Cox also wears sneakers at the same time, which are a recurring feature of Dr. House's wardrobe.
* Dr. Cox's diagnosis of [[Takotsubo cardiomyopathy|Broken Heart Syndrome]] was also a diagnosis of a patient in ''House''.
* The flashbacks feature a slightly skewed color spectrum that emphasizes yellow and orange and de-saturates the other colors, which was a filter used heavily in the [[Pilot (House episode)|Pilot]] of ''[[House (TV series)|House]]''.

Latest revision as of 00:23, 13 December 2024

Scrubs is an American medical comedy-drama television series created by Bill Lawrence, which premiered on October 2, 2001 on NBC. NBC had originally announced that Scrubs would end after its seventh season, containing a reduced 18 episodes.[1] However, the 2007–2008 Writers Guild of America strike ended up cutting the show's episodes down to 11, and Scrubs ended its run on NBC with a total of 150 episodes.

The cast returned to film an additional 19 episodes, which were aired as Season 8 by ABC, with much of the story coming to a close, and definitive though somewhat flexible endings for the characters. The one-hour season finale, "My Finale", which was originally planned to also be the series finale, ranked third in the ratings and was watched by 5.1 million viewers, 2.1 adults 18-49 rating.[2] The episode garnered mostly positive response from the viewers as well as critics.

With speculation mounting over a possible ninth season that would focus on new characters and perhaps a new setting, ABC announced on May 15, 2009, that it renewed Scrubs for a ninth season called Scrubs: Med School. The season premiered on December 1, 2009. Donald Faison and John C. McGinley are the only original cast members returning as regular characters, while Zach Braff appeared in six episodes. Sarah Chalke, Neil Flynn and Ken Jenkins returned as guest stars, while Judy Reyes did not appear at all.

In addition to the regular episodes, a special called "My Charlie Brown Christmas" was created by Daniel Russ and Ryan Levin for the Scrubs 2003 Christmas party, which is a re-cut and re-dub of A Charlie Brown Christmas, starring the cast of Scrubs.[3]

As a general rule, all series episode titles begin with the word "My", unless the bulk of the episode is narrated by someone other than J.D., in which case they are named "His Story", "Her Story", or "Their Story", with Roman numerals denoting subsequent episodes by the same name. During Season 9, episode titles started with the word "Our" instead of "My".

A total of 182 episodes of Scrubs were broadcast over nine seasons. All nine seasons are available on DVD in Regions 1, 2 and 4.
