This half- hour comedy drama was created by Bill Lawrence. The series focus on the eccentric experiences of a medical intern John “J.D” who starts his career in a surreal hospital. Scrubs episodes offer a view of life in a big-city hospital through the eyes of a group of interns fresh out of medical school.
Hospital’s environment is full fun because of unpredictable staffers and patients-where humor and tragedy can merge paths at any time. JD, in addition to deflecting the patronizing comments of the doctors, also had to deal with the situations brought out by two fellow interns: JD’s best friend Chris Turk and the beautiful and driven Elliot Reid. Other important roles in this show are: The fatherly chief of medicine, Dr. Bob Kelso; Dr. Perry Cox; and the caring but slightly tired nurse Carla Espinosa. The hospital janitor also tries to catch every opportunity to harass his target. The major reason that takes the show near to reality is that Scrubs is filmed in a real life hospital.
It’s the North Hollywood Medical Centre, which has gone under various constructions to fit all the equipment and represent Sacred Heart Hospital. ‘Scrubs’ was scheduled to premier on September 25, 2001, but coverage of the World Trade Center disaster moved the premiere date to October 2.
