Scrubs - The Complete Fifth Season (DVD, 2007, 3-Disc Box Set)

Scrubs - season 5. This show doesn't get old. The stories are still fresh and the actors have grown with the characters.

If you like comedy and medical hospital environment this one is for you. The characters on this show is hilarious. Season five, is probably the best season on this show. Great episodes and will make you watch this show nonstop. Recommend buy!

Excellent Sitcom! Really Funny and Great for Scrubs Fans! My family and I thoroughly enjoyed this DVD!

Definitely one of the most under-rated comedies on tv today - and like wine, this show just keeps getting better each season! No matter who you are, you can't help but identify yourself with one of the starring characters on the show. While you may not be roaring with laughter, you can't help but get a quick laugh from most scenes: wether it's from JD being goofy with his inner monologue/fantasies, Elliott self-destructing as a result of any of her neuroses, or Dr. Cox being the only person to actually say what those of us would really like to. Exec Producer Bill Lawrence (Spin City) does a masterful job at creating a light-hearted comedy, that always has a message to send home, that all of us can relate to in one way or another. And the soundtrack ain't too bad either!

Well I wanted this DVD because I love to watch Scrubs. Its my all time favorite show. I think Scrubs is such a great sitcom because it makes me laugh out load, but it can also deal with serious subject matter. I recommend this show to anybody. It will make you laugh, it will make you cry, it will also make you think. I plan to own every season on DVD.

A key character doesn't need to be likeable to be interesting. Plenty of people keep watching reality shows just to see what the character they can't stand will do next. The same holds true for comedy: M*A*S*H needed Frank Burns or Charles Emerson Winchester to provide counterpoint to Trapper and Hawkeye.

I'm an owner of Scrubs' Seasons 1-4, and a long-time fan of the show. But, with Season 5, I find myself far more willing to watch something else. Why? I have lost my empathy for J.D., and I'm betting lots of others have as well.

J.D.'s slide into unlikeability began in earnest when he announced, at Turk and Carla's wedding rehearsal dinner, that he didn't love Elliot. This wasn't the same as the comedy of talking to Amy Smart ("TCW") about their physical relationship in front of her dead husband's parents; it was just cruel. In the first, there's the conscious choice to hurt someone. In the second, the comedy is the lack of knowledge of the setting.

This continues in Season 5. J.D. gets sillier, but not funnier. He goes from being oblivious to the world around him (in the mildly funny, "head in the clouds," sense) to being oblivious of anyone other than himself. His fun with Turk becomes increasingly self-centered, and what the writers would still like us to see as childish hijinks comes off as narcissistic amusement. Sure, we see that J.D. cares about his patients, but it seems more our of a desire to be popular than anything else. Eliot diagnoses this in the first season.

Sadly, Scrubs, a show I've really enjoyed, has "jumped the shark." When? The multiple babies, the second time J.D. and Elliot sleep together, when Turk and Carla get married. Take your pick. They all changed the dynamic. But J.D.'s increasing unlikeability means the next season will almost certainly be the last. At least, I hope it is.

a great show. zach, donald, sarah, johnny c., and the rest of the cast were great in this season and this dvd really showcases how good this show is.

"I'm gonna have a good year, aren't I?" J.D. (Zach Braff), now an attending physician at Sacred Heart Hospital, asks in the fifth season's opening episode. All vital signs are good (the series did receive an Emmy nomination for Outstanding Comedy), but longtime Scrubs fans may be forgiven a sense of déjà vu, from J.D.'s whimsical reveries to Dr. Cox's (John C. McGinley) increasingly tiresome rants. The series itself acknowledges the palpable sense of been there, seen that with the clever episode "Déjà vu, Déjà vu." But don't pronounce Scrubs dead just yet. Directed by Braff, "My Way Home," the series' 100th episode, is a brilliantly conceived homage to The Wizard of Oz with J.D. and company finding their hearts, brains, and courage. Another powerful episode that shows a welcome maturity is "My Lunch," in which J.D. at last has lunch with his reluctant mentor, Dr. Cox, in the wake of a patient's death (happily, the music rights were secured for the DVD release so that the Fray's "How to Save a Life" is playing on the soundtrack when Dr. Cox has his own tragic setback), and the follow-up episode, "My Fallen Idol."

While Scrubs has a tendency this season to get "more ridiculous" (in one episode, Neil Flynn's Janitor defies Ken Jenkins' Dr. Kelso to secretly keep a crow in the hospital), the scalpel-sharp writing affords Braff moments that are, in his character's own words, "classic Dorian." In the episode "My Half Acre," he mixes his sports analogies to tell Elliot (Sarah Chalke), "What's waiting for me in my room is what's known, in football terms, as a slam dunk," as he mimes hitting a tennis ball. Mandy Moore, displaying a surprising knack for physical comedy, follows Tara Reid and Heather Graham as a fleeting love interest for J.D. Other character milestones include pregnancies for Carla (Judy Reyes) and two other characters best left a surprise. Good for whatever ails season 5 are this set's extras, including an entertaining series retrospective, featuring interviews with the cast and creators, as well as commentary by Braff for an extended cut of "My Way Home." --Donald Liebenson

I decided to buy the season sets because we watch it on our cable everyday and I felt like we were missing some episodes and wanted to make sure. Now that I have the season sets my kids take them in the car everytime we travel and they love it.

Item was in perfect condition and I've had no problems watching the DVD. Thank you! A+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Very funny show! Absolute wonderful DVD collection to have. It's always fun to hear Dr Cox get on one of his rants to JD!

I own the first 5 seasons of Scrubs now, and I love it. I can watch "rerun" episodes over and over, and they still make me laugh. Season 5 is no exception. New ideas mix with the same old jokes to keep you laughing and wanting to watch episode after episode!

Season 5 was one of the funniest seasons of Scrubs. I'm glad I made this purchase. The package and dics arrived in excellent condition and I watch it almost everyday!

The dvd came quickly.. my son loved it. i brought it for a birthday gift for my son...he is a big fan

i regret i did not read the fine print that it was for only 2 of 3 season disks. I am dissapointed in that the missing disk has some of the best episodes.

Item arrived quickly and in the condition it was listed as. Great communication with seller. When I made a mistake paying for the item, they were very understanding and willing to work with me on it.
Would definitely buy from them again.

Scrubs is one of the funniest tv shows around. I enjoy the show so much each time I buy a season I finish it in one day. It is funny and entertaining and I find myself wanting to be part of the show as if it is real life. I would recomne this show to anyone seeking a good laugh.

Season 5 of Scrubs may be the pinnacle of the series run. It kept getting better up to #5, and it started to go down hill a little bit afterwards. Not that the other seasons aren't good. Season #5 is just great. The plot lines are solid, and the episodes bring in a wonderful mix of comedy and drama. This season contains what I consider to be the two best Scrubs episodes overall - the one with the Wizard of Oz theme and the one where Turk, the Janitor, and Ted air-band some classic Journey. What's not to love here?

I love Scrubs. I watch so much Scrubs it's ridiculous. I bought it on eBay becauase it is much cheaper than buying it in stores.

Absolutely *LOVE* this show! Own season 6 and am working my way backwards to get all of the seasons. Chose to buy on ebay because theses DVDs are entirely to expensive in stores, but it is an awesome show!

I started watching the DVD set the night I got it in the mail. I love scrubs and all the episodes on Season 5 are hilarious!

Season 5 is by far the best season yet (including season 6)!!
I laughed so hard while watching this it was unbelievable. I
don't think a show has ever made me laugh at all the random/strange
things that go on. There were also very intense things that happened during this show that made it a nice change up from strictly humor. I could not imagine anyone who doesn't love this season.

Speedy transaction at a reasonable price. Items exactly as described.

Would be happy to do business again.

Scrubs has got to be in the top five funniest shows ever. It is one of the few my husband and I can enjoy together. I like mindless, he likes intellectual. It is a great combination of high and low brow humor, but always fresh. So, we had to own the whole series.
