Scrubs

The series is noted for its fast-paced slapstick and surreal vignettes presented mostly as the daydreams of the central character and narrator, John "J.D." Dorian, played by Zach Braff. The main cast for seasons one through eight consisted of Braff, Sarah Chalke, Donald Faison, Ken Jenkins, John C. McGinley, and Judy Reyes. Recurring cast member Neil Flynn joined the main cast in season two. The series featured multiple guest appearances by film actors, such as Brendan Fraser, Heather Graham, Michael J. Fox, and Colin Farrell.

Scrubs aired in its original format between October 2001 and May 2009—switching from its original network NBC to ABC in January 2009—with the season eight episodes "My Finale" conceived and filmed as a series finale. The ninth season, which aired on ABC between December 2009 and March 2010, moved the setting to a medical school and introduced new regular cast members Kerry Bishé, Dave Franco, and Michael Mosley, with Bishé becoming the show's new narrator, and season 8 recurring cast member Eliza Coupe promoted to main cast. Braff, Faison, and McGinley remained regular cast members, and others made guest appearances. This version of the show was canceled in May 2010.

The series received critical acclaim throughout its run and earned 17 Emmy Award nominations, including two for Outstanding Comedy Series. It also received a Peabody Award in 2006.

The series was revived by ABC in 2025, with the revival series premiering in February 2026.
