I don't think scrubs was so much funny as much as it was genuine for the episodic format and somewhat clever. It really is a product of its time though

It picks up around season 2. JD is more of a straight man in season 1 and the Janitor was originally meant to be a figment of his imagination, which is why he only interacts with JD the first season. In season 2 they scrapped that and made him a regular part of the hospital. Also JD becomes more of the feminine nerd we know and love as it goes on. Once Elliot goes through her transformation and changes her hair/personality (My American Girl episode I think) the show is off to the races.

Yeah scrubs was never much of a belly laugh sitcom (though it has some) and more of a always smiling thinking to yourself "heh that's good." Def my favorite sitcom as well.

I dont think season 1 is as good. Turk is still debating on acknowledging the bromance, side characters arent as developed yet, etc.

Scrubs is also my favorite sitcom. Every time I rewatch it I find something else to relate to.

The Good Place may usurp that but I've seen Scrubs all the way through at least 4 times. Meanwhile TGP is only two.

I watched most if not all of Scrubs, however I'm not going to pretend that I remember when the consistently solid comedy writing takes off, what I do know is sometimes it takes a season or 2 for a show to find the stride the show is known for.

I dont mind season 1 so far, it feels like some dud episode and the B plots in alot of the episodes isnt as strong, but its not bad by any means

Ive forgotten how long seasons of older shows are though.

Some may think S1 is relatively weak overall but I'd disagree. Some of the best character writing in sitcoms happens in those first four episodes.

I still think about My Old Lady. And when Turk had already pulled JD's keys out of his bag. And Elliot's dead on characterization

One of my favorite shows of all time. For a while was my comfort show, every other year would watch just a bunch of episodes throughout a season.

You realize 2001 was not even 20 years ago, it's more? It makes sense to see a ton of references that are gonna feel ancient. It's the equivalent of watching Happy Days when scrubs first came out, which felt beyond ancient for our young selves.

He says it during the finale and then immediately answers to a different name after JD walks away.

J.D is a lot like ted mosby in that they are just terrible people that the show wants us to think are quirky and lovable but when you actually think about the things they do they are pretty shitty

like how JD sabotaged elliots relationship and then immediately didnt want her now that she left her boyfriend for him

at least the janitor is there to abuse him which is more and more deserved one very rewatch

JD being a person actively looking acceptance from other people is his biggest problem. When he cant make himself feel good by doing stuff for other people, he kinda falls back on this arrogant and selfish behaviors

I think it's great from the beginning although it's interesting to see what season 1 was like. From the ancient references, to working out JD's fantasies and comedy, to the extreme abrasiveness of Jordan, to the Janitor initially being a figment of JD's imagination... just lots of things they were workshopping.

One of the first sitcoms of the 21st century to not have a laugh track, not to mention the single camera format that's better for viewers but much more difficult for the actual people behind the show to do, makes this a landmark show imo. It and Malcolm in the Middle are the first shows I think of that started the no laughtrack/better shot comedy show.

Bill Lawrence later confirmed that really was his real name, which means that bit after was probably just to show that he lied to everybody

There is that one episode where JD sees Janitor in a movie, so why didn't he just look at the credits?

I think one of the crazier relationship moments is when JD got that one girl pregnant and she lies to him about the pregnancy and they break up. Then he sees her like 6/7 months later obviously pregnant, gets pissed and confronts her about it. At first everyone's on his side but then she asks him if he sees them able to be together and he answers her honestly "No". So the next day everyone, especially the women are furious with him simply b/c she's pregnant and he upset her. JD had a lot of stupid reasons for not committing to a relationship. That wasn't one of those times.

I found the later seasons to be more palatable than the early seasons. But the more Ive gone back to watch, I cant really stomach it because I hate nasally people and Zach Braff basically speaks like he has a clothespin on his nose.

I rewatch the show often and Season 1 always feels like the black sheep season until I get to Season 7. 8 also feels really different but I like it a lot. Season 2 - 5 is really great.

and agreed with the poster above. Im surprised people are actually friends with JD when I actually think about it. But thats definitely a later season thing
