In the series opener, all the major characters are introduced as J.D., Turk and Elliot start life at Sacred Heart Hospital. J.D. tries to get to know Dr. Cox, but is rebuffed. Turk actively pursues Carla and succeeds through candor where swagger and machismo have failed. Elliot gets on Carla's wrong side. J.D. tries to convince his patient (John Ducey) to quit smoking. Elliot takes issue with the terms of endearment Dr. Kelso uses for her, but naïvely follows Dr. Cox's advice and confronts Kelso about it. J.D. misses Turk's company because they are both too busy to hang out, and he worries that a patient's post-op reaction is Turk's fault. Elliot and J.D. are getting close, but an interrupted kiss might make the difference between being friends and something more. The three interns have to face death for the first time: J.D.'s patient is a headstrong but kindly old woman, Turk's is a young man who just needs some company, and Elliot's is a Hispanic woman who does not speak any English. The episode's writer, Matt Tarses, won the 2002 Humanitas Prize in the 30 Minute Category for this episode. J.D. has to decide between Dr. Cox or Dr. Kelso as a mentor. The decision isn't made any easier when all three, along with Dr. Kelso's lapdog Dr. Steadman, play a game of golf together. Elliot believes her breasts to have healing powers. In order to make up to Carla, Turk gives her a pen that, unbeknownst to him, was previously removed from a patient's rectum. Dr. Cox's actions to help an uninsured patient earn him a suspension. Dr. Cox's suspension puts his future at the hospital in doubt. Elliot discovers her patient, Dr. Greenberg, is a psychiatrist, and begins to act like his patient. J.D. has a beautiful but self-absorbed board member as a patient, and he winds up having sex with her. Unfortunately, he finds out that she is Dr. Cox's ex-wife, Jordan (Christa Miller, in her first appearance in the series). J.D. tries to convince Jordan to help Dr. Cox. J.D. relishes being the best intern, but then has to face competition from fellow intern Nick Murdoch. Turk confronts his fear of making a mistake in surgery after thinking he has accidentally nicked a patient's colon. J.D. and Turk save the life of a TV cameraman, which makes them celebrities. Dr. Kelso decides to take advantage of this by using Turk in advertisements for the hospital aimed at the African-American community, with slogans such as "Our MD's have Mad Skills" and "Time to Get an EKG, G". Cox is supposed to write J.D.'s intern evaluation but tells J.D. to do it himself. When J.D. refuses, Dr. Cox reveals that he wanted J.D. to do it so that he could discover his own shortcomings and judge himself. J.D. develops appendicitis and sees the hospital from the patients' point of view. Elliot and Turk are his medical and surgical interns respectively. J.D. and Carla's relationship changes when he starts to have more medical knowledge than she has, and takes offense at her nickname for him ("Bambi"). Elliot treats Jill (Nicole Sullivan), a patient who's just as nervous and neurotic as she is. The Janitor comes up with a new nickname for J.D. Turk loses his faith in a just God after spending a night on call on Christmas Eve, but regains it after finding the missing pregnant girl Elliot has been searching for. Dr. Cox assigns J.D. to videotape the childbirth of one of Dr. Cox's friends. J.D. must look after a social worker, Alex (Elizabeth Bogush)............................. ..................Read full review
Scrubs is a really great and really funny show. Although it is a comedy, it has its drama and its serious parts too, which are very well handled. It also looks at relationships in a more realistic way than a certain other medical show (Grey's Anatomy). I also like the way the show portrays nurses and shows their importance in the medical field, and also looks at different areas of medicine. The shows also portrays them not only practicing medicine, but doing research and paperwork, which adds to the realism of the show.
I love this show!!! Scrubs is a comedy that takes the unexpected and makes it acceptable. I love the way that you get inside the mind of the main character JD. If I had that much stuff going on in my head I would explode. The best part of the show is that just when you think it is nothing but juvenile slapstick comedy, they hit you right in the heart with a touching story. This is one of the few shows that was ever on television that I had a very hard time picking an absolute favorite character. From "Friends," Joey all the way, "Will & Grace", Karen, "Roseanne," I loved Dan, but here there are so many great characters that are so well played I would truly call this an ensemble performance. Thanks for the laughs "Scrubs" and the stories!

Scrubs is not just a sitcom based in a hospital, its lessons in life. It brings comedy and reality closer than any tv show that I've watched. The only show I could even compare Scrubs to would be Ally McBeal which was one of the most watched shows of the late 90's. Scrubs is underrated because it didn't get much publicity when it was initially aired. I grew to love watching the reruns because after you watch them over again you get to really learn the lesson the episode was trying to teach its audience. The show is very funny with a wonderful cast of actors at the same time the theme of it turns serious at the end of every episode and reflect what really mattered from the situation the episode was about. Watch Scrubs and you'll get hooked!
