Scrubs 1-8 DVD Box Set (http://www.dvdsetsonline.com/Scrubs-Seasons-1-8-DVD-Box-Set-DVD-1616.html) is a medical comedy about a group of new interns who are adjusting to the demands of working on the front lines of a busy hospital. There's J.D. (Braff), the idealistic one who also narrates the show, Turk (Faison), the cocky surgical intern and Elliot (Chalke), the goofy ditz whom J.D. has is attracted to, while Turk is drawn to Carla (Reyes), a sarcastic nurse. In his day-to-day routine, J.D. has to deal with the tough and demanding Dr. Cox (McGinley), the gleefully pompous Dr. Kelso (Jenkins) and a mean janitor (Flynn) who delights in tormenting the young intern.
Scrubs 1-8 DVD Box Set (http://www.dvdsetsonline.com/Scrubs-Seasons-1-8-DVD-Box-Set-DVD-1616.html)has an engaging zany sense of humour reminiscent of early Zucker Abrams and Zucker movies (Airplane!, Top Secret), complete with snappy dialogue and visualizing what J.D. imagines in any given situation. For example, in a moment of complete exasperation and frustration J.D.'s head quite literally explodes. Or, to illustrate the competitive nature with Elliot, we see the two race down a hallway like something out of track and field meet complete with Cheap Trick blasting away on the soundtrack.
The first disc of Scrubs 1-8 DVD Box Set (http://www.dvdsetsonline.com/Scrubs-Seasons-1-8-DVD-Box-Set-DVD-1616.html)starts off with "Newbies," a featurette where the show's creator, Bill Lawrence talks briefly about how he created Scrubs 1-8 DVD Box Set (http://www.dvdsetsonline.com/Scrubs-Seasons-1-8-DVD-Box-Set-DVD-1616.html)and incorporated real stories from friends who were doctors. The writers talk about how a season and an episode are constructed. The writers work closely with the actors and play to their strengths. The cast talk about their roles with input from Lawrence.
There is an audio commentary on "My First Day" by Bill Lawrence. Like Arrested Development, Scrubs 1-8 DVD Box Set (http://www.dvdsetsonline.com/Scrubs-Seasons-1-8-DVD-Box-Set-DVD-1616.html)is a sitcom that only uses one camera which made the network nervous. He touches upon the evolution of the characters and offers some good observations.
Lawrence returns on the commentary for "My Old Lady" with Zach Braff along for the ride. They joke around in this light and engaging track.
Lawrence and actor Neil Flynn provide commentary on "My Fifteen Minutes." Flynn dispels the myth that he adlibs all of his lines and they talk about the colourful extras and reoccurring supporting cast that appear in this episode of Scrubs 1-8 DVD Box Set (http://www.dvdsetsonline.com/Scrubs-Seasons-1-8-DVD-Box-Set-DVD-1616.html)
The second DVD features a music video for Scrubs 1-8 DVD Box Set (http://www.dvdsetsonline.com/Scrubs-Seasons-1-8-DVD-Box-Set-DVD-1616.html)'s jaunty theme song, "Superman" by Lazlo Bane in its entirety with behind-the-scenes clips of the show mixed with footage of the band performing.
"The Doctor is In" is a brief featurette with Braff talking about he got on Scrubs 1-8 DVD Box Set (http://www.dvdsetsonline.com/Scrubs-Seasons-1-8-DVD-Box-Set-DVD-1616.html) despite an awful audition. Braff talks about meeting the rest of the cast and his impressions of them in this entertaining extra.
"Alternate Lines: A Second Opinion" is a nine minute reel of different takes from various scenes by Flynn, Braff and the very funny John C. McGinley.
Also included is an audio commentary on "My Blind Date" by Lawrence and Braff once again. They comment on the performances of the supporting cast and talk about the network's insistence that J.D.'s girlfriend in the episode had to be beautiful.
The third disc features "Not Just Another Medical Show," a featurette that examines how Lawrence wanted to avoid shooting in a studio in favour of on location in a converted, run-down hospital. Scrubs 1-8 DVD Box Set (http://www.dvdsetsonline.com/Scrubs-Seasons-1-8-DVD-Box-Set-DVD-1616.html)'s technical advisors talk about how they try to keep the show's medical jargon and situations authentic.
"Favorite Moments" sees the cast and crew recounting their cherished bits from Scrubs 1-8 DVD Box Set (http://www.dvdsetsonline.com/Scrubs-Seasons-1-8-DVD-Box-Set-DVD-1616.html). They talk about how it also deals with real issues in between comedic set pieces and the guest stars that graced the first season.
There is also a four minute "Outtakes Reel," a montage of blown lines and goofy takes that give a little insight into how much fun the cast and crew must have working on Scrubs 1-8 DVD Box Set (http://www.dvdsetsonline.com/Scrubs-Seasons-1-8-DVD-Box-Set-DVD-1616.html).
Also included is ten minutes worth of deleted scenes. Sadly, they aren't put in any context so it's hard to figure out what episode they're from. However, there are some really funny bits and it's a shame that they were cut.
There is an audio commentary on "My Sacrificial Clam" by Lawrence and actors Sam Lloyd and Robert Maschio. Not surprisingly, the actors talk about their characters and laugh along with the episode of Scrubs 1-8 DVD Box Set (http://www.dvdsetsonline.com/Scrubs-Seasons-1-8-DVD-Box-Set-DVD-1616.html). Maschio provides a lot of the humour on this amusing track.
Finally, there is a commentary for "My Hero" by Lawrence and John C. McGinley. Scrubs 1-8 DVD Box Set (http://www.dvdsetsonline.com/Scrubs-Seasons-1-8-DVD-Box-Set-DVD-1616.html)shows Dr. Cox's vulnerable side and fleshes out his character. Contrary to his on-screen persona, McGinley is pretty low-key on this solid track.
