Not content to rest on the solid pratfalls that made it famous, Scrubs stretched its legs in season three to give deeper insight into its characters. With Turk and Carla (Donald Faison and Judy Reyes) planning their season-finale wedding, J.D. (Zach Braff) once again wrestles with his feelings for fellow resident Elliot (Sarah Chalke), but her reciprocity leads to a startling revelation. Scrubs also lent numerous guest stars to its cause, including former Spin City castmates Richard Kind as a hypochondriac, Barry Bostwick as a cancer patient, and Michael J. Fox in a hilarious return to television as an obsessive-compulsive visiting surgeon. Scott Foley (Felicity) plays Elliot's devoted suitor, and Tara Reid's turn as Dr. Cox (John C. McGinley)'s sister-in-law starts out daffy and decomposes into parody. (Producers admit in episode commentary that they tried to cast Reid against type, then gave up a few episodes later and told her to just be her wild, party-going self.) But it's two returning guest stars that pack the most emotional wallop: Mad TV's Nicole Sullivan as a chirpy patient whose barely masked troubles are ignored by her doctors; and Brendan Fraser as Dr. Cox's cancer-stricken brother-in-law, Ben. Fraser's episode, entitled "My Screw Up," does a masterful job turning from comedy to tearjerker on a dime in one half-hour. It's one of the best episodes of the show's entire run, and a crime that McGinley wasn't recognized for his brilliant work.

Two episode commentaries, featuring producers, writers, and Faison, aren't as fun as in past seasons (though referring to Braff as "Chicken Little," the character he voiced in Disney's much-maligned animated film, is a notable jab). But the DVD set stuffs in way too many featurettes, including one just devoted to the stars' dogs. One complaint: The animated navigation menu takes way too long getting to the special features, it's tempting to skip them altogether. Better to just hit "play" and re-watch the episodes again. --Ellen A. Kim

this item was a gift to a friend and she loves watching scrubs, it is the comedy version of grey's anatomy, with drama and life lessons. she watches this all of the time, thank you for your quick response to sending the item to me, thank you and it is appritiated

it gets even better
with the 3rd season of Scrubs we find our characters a bit more seasoned, yet just as vulnerable as they were. When they first started out.

But the writers/producers and everyone involved in this show including guest stars like Tara Reid, Michael J. Fox, Scott Foley to name a few add a little bit of craziness in addition to what's already going on around the show making it. Something that really needs to be watched to see exactly what i mean. The show is seriously funny and even when a deep, serious moment comes up. You can find JD pondering away in one of his usually freaky and often times weird daydreams.

Some shows aren't able to keep it up for 3 years and keep things fresh but Scrubs does throughout and is worthy of anyone's attention that loves to laugh and have fun watching TV.
