Scrubs - The Complete Fourth Season (DVD, 2006, 3-Disc Set)

Scrubs - season 4. What can I say? This show continues to entertain and delight. It stays funny when other shows get worse.

The sitcom has had its share of doomsayers in the last several years, but the cries that the medium is dead probably need a clarification. If anything, it's the traditional four-camera, taped-in-front-a-live-studio-audience, laugh-track sitcom that is going the way of the dodo. With shows like The Office (both British and American) and My Name is Earl, the situation comedy is alive and kicking, it's just broken out of its regular confines.

So it is with Scrubs, a hospital comedy that started in 2001. Beginning with the first year of three fresh-faced medical students--the doe-eyed John Dorian, a.k.a. J.D., a.k.a. Bambi (Zach Braff), who narrates the show and provides its whimsical point of view; his best friend, the confident surgical student Turk (Donald Faison); and the scatterbrained Elliot Reed (Sarah Chalke). They have all signed on at Sacred Heart, a teaching hospital, where they will learn by doing. Though primarily a comedy, the series also has its share of drama, and so not all of the eager students' screw-ups end in hilarity. Sometimes, harder lessons have to be learned. In fact, every episode centers on a theme, with the various members of the team laboring on parallel problems that get tied together by Braff's ever-present voiceover. It's a concept that may sound a bit tired, and in earlier seasons, the need for a moral to end every episode did ferment its fair share of stinky cheese, but by Season 4, Scrubs has hit its stride, and the wrap-ups don't feel forced anymore. The J.D. character has become a comfortable friend, and his narration has a diary-like quality, ruminations on the events of the day rather than fortune-cookie homilies.

While there are plenty of great episodes in season 4 (I'll list them all shortly), the stand-out has to be "My Life in Four Cameras." When J.D. is having a particularly bad day at the hospital and has to deliver some devastating news to a patient who used to write for Cheers, the doctor wonders why life can't be more like a sitcom. The episode then shifts to an extended fantasy sequence where Sacred Heart really is part of a sitcom. For the first time ever, Scrubs is shot in front of a studio audience on one stage. Many sitcom tropes are lampooned, from putting all the female staff members in sexier costumes to running a talent show where the prize is just enough money to stop the budget cuts and having a special guest star in a minor role (Aitken, who is given a chance to sing and win the talent show). The results are amazing, and despite the nostalgic fun had by all, the format change drives home how much better the situation comedy is when it's let loose. By paying tribute to the past, Scrubs proves itself to be the future.

My wife and I love few things more than watching episode after episode of Scrubs. This season was wonderful as expected. Love the variety of characters and their respective personalities.

The purchase was perfect because the description was accurate and I tend to purchase from those with a higher than 98% positive rating. The "ebay" report card is most critical in all purchases. Detailed descriptions, as with this purchase, help me to be sure that I am ordering what I wanted.

I think this is the best Season of Scubs so far. The entire show is hillarious. It gives you a brief look into the medical world but a real light side to their lives. I love it.

Easy transaction. Thank you. Prices were great. DVDs in great condition. My husband will love them.

I bought this dvd set as a gift for someone. We love this show and have seen all of the episodes in this season. Very funny, a must see.

I decided to buy it because it's an amazing series and it's halarious. Turk is halarious, and his wife. Awesome comedy.

These people are THIEVES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
They are perfectly willing to take your money and then send you nothing. Have sent several messages and recieved ZERO response. I will NEVER buy from this person or persons EVER again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I love this show, from the beginning to end! The fourth season, as all others, is hilarious and filled with all of the dysfunctional antics of JD, Elliot, Turk, ect. If you are a fan of this show, I recommend owning ALL of the seasons, that are available.

A great season. One of the best in my opinion. Lots of episodes. Hours of enjoyment. Zach Braff is a great actor. Even though he's goofy.

Scrubs is one of my favorite shows and a must buy if you like to laugh you butt off.... I made agreat purchase buying season 4..

Friend loves scrubs and wanted 3rd season price and everything was so great i got him the 3rd 4th seasons

I have always enjoyed the Scrubs TV show, and actually owning the season is great! I don't always catch it because I work, so know I can watch it whenever I want! Zach Braff has perfect comedic timing and the show is orginal, fun, and even heart warming. I recommend it for ANYONE!

The product was never shipped or received... I was offered a refund? This isn't the 1st time something like this has happened, not from the same user, but it's stupid.

I love everything about this transaction!I received it super speedy and the seller was great to deal with . I have been burned twice by other sellers and just had my faith renewed after this !

I haven't even gotten my package yet, but I would highly recommend this seller. He sells great deals, and I thought they were great prices

THANK YOU

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.

I bought this DVD awhile ago. Even though it was pretty fast shipping I was dissapointed in it. It was not the same DVDs sold in stores. It looks like some sort of copy. Even though it didn't technically say in the description it was one sold in stores it was still deceiving.

It was good quality and cheap. but the delivery was kinda slow for being priority. Well nonetheless I would buy from this seller again.

I love this item, it goes along with some of the other seasons I have. This is a very funny sit com and I haven't always been able to catch every show. Now I can watch any episode whenever and how ever often I want.

I have seen many of the shows but because of my work hours I do not always get to see them in sequience. The show has humor in a serious way an its easy to follow. I use it as a way to relax after work.I plan on buing all the epsoides before I am done.

The dvds where perfect. They came wrapped up brand new! I love the show scrubs and because of you, I now have all the seasons on dvd! Thank you very much for your business!!! God bless!!!
