**Scrubs** is brilliant! The first time I saw commercials for it, I thought to myself _“How can a medical show be a successful sitcom?”_ Of course, I grew up with General Hospital and ER to base my initial reaction on. But I watched. And it was good. Then I stopped watching. (I stopped watching pretty much everything.) Then I started watching again, because **Friends** somehow became interesting again (_“What? Rachel is having Ross’s baby???”_) and why bother to change the channel afterwards, right? And it was GREAT! The dialogue is witty and bizarre. The characters are dynamic and lovable. The cast is recognizable (Becky #2 from **Roseanne** , one of the guys from the **Clueless** series, the jerk cop from the Rob Schneider flick **The Animal** , Christa Miller from **Drew Carey** ). I love the animosity between the characters because it is real, and it brings them together in what I would assume to be a stressful work environment. I laugh outloud when I watch this show. I urge you all to watch and enjoy before this gem is gone.
