Muffled Noise

I love Scrubs. I really do.

Yesterday I bought season 1-6 and I’m currently going through season 2 onwards (Yeah I’m still watching HIMYM don’t worry). I remember catching it on TV before and immediately deciding that it was one of my favorites.

There was a column on it by Alan Sepinwall, as he thought about its current and final season (season 7), and here’s how a part of it goes—

Because it debuted in the waning days of NBC’s comedy empire (even briefly airing after “Friends,” but so irregularly that it didn’t help build an audience), overlapped with several other laugh track-free comedies that got bigger ratings and/or more award show love (“Malcolm in the Middle,” “Arrested Development”), and comes to the end of its run with so many other shows having cribbed from it, “Scrubs” never got and probably never will get the credit it deserves. But at its best, it was as funny as any other comedy on television, as moving as any drama.

How sad and unfortunate. But for the rest of us who love it, and get as many insights with a short dive into JD’s mind as with an entire speech from any speaker, it’s really one of the best out there.
