I can't believe that I'm just learning about his death from this comment. He was one of the best parts of the show, and probably one of the most talented actors on that cast. F indeed.

[@luigi7834]

yes

[@RedRedLisk]

JD only said that he's "lefty" in one reality of the "butterfly effect" episode to cover his embarrassment when he didn't catch a pen. However in the second reality of the same butterfly episode he didn't catch a pen again and said that he is "righty". So we don't actually know which one is real

[@defmore5099]

yeah I wanted to say that. but I guess the fact is that jd is a LIAR which would be confirmed by him lying about his dominant hand.

[@claremcguire2886]

He’s right handed. We see this in other episodes when he’s writing charts or holding a pen

[@quizmandan95]

[@JLHunter61]

This is the only sitcom that I have ever watched in my life where I would often find myself crying with laughter and then just plain crying. From one moment to the next, it could truly pack an emotional punch. I suppose that this would best be put down to great writing, because I don't know what else it would be to which it could be ascribed, and whence then came all of the emotional resonance on display in so many episodes. Good job, Sam...if, indeed, that is your real name!

[@Luk317]

Scrubs could make you cry one scene and cry with laughter the next

[@iordanneDiogeneslucas]

eliott is the kind of person to apologise to a bin for bumping into it....the janitor could still be imaginary

[@Pepper9873]

1: He's been confirmed to not be imaginary. He was supposed to be; that's why you only see him interact with J.D. in really early episodes, but Neil was so good they made him a real character. 2: The Janitor interacts with far too many people to be imaginary. It's the same flaw that the "Rugrats Babies were all in Angelica's Head" fan theory falls into. He also interacts with them when J.D. isn't around.

[@cleverusername9369]

Well, Sarah IS Canadian, a people famous for apologizing needlessly

[@donnahanna10565]

Good point. Also talking about Sarah Chalk And the narrator talks about Donald Faison, Zach Braff and Sarah goes skinny dipping, Sarah keeps her bikini on just like Elliott Reed would have in the series. Elliott would have never skinny dipped.

[@saschaeisenhut757]

Actually, "Die Anfänger" is just a subtitle here in Germany. It's "Scrubs - Die Anfänger". But no one here calls it "Die Anfänger" or would immediately know what you're talking about, if you referred to the show like that. Just say Scrubs.

"Now I've been called a great number of horrible names in my life: backstabber... zebra poacher... Josh..." Bill Lawrence did state that Glen Matthews is his actual name though.

[@Vracka]

It's not revealed in the show so it's not canon!!!!11 haha. But for real: isn't it more fascinating to not know the name and keep it a secret? To know that Glen Matthews is the real name doesn't feel right... does it?

[@TheDarkSidePoet]

@@Vracka I've watched it so many times I'm used to it, & glad to know it. We went eight seasons before getting it. And it is revealed, we just don't know if it's honest.

[@hjspalenka]

Maybe you correct this later, but most fans no season 9 was not Bill Lawrence's choice. He is even on record stating that he considers it a spin off instead of another season.

[@Isador]

Basicly is S09 a Spin off. It's called "Scrubs - Med School" But international it is promoted as 9th Season. For me is the finale from Season 8 THE FINALY! It's so good so emotional

[@lukefreeman828]

Never heard him say it wasn't his choice, quite the opposite, he chose to do the season because it kept people in a job (camera crew and all the other staff primarily) in the middle of a recession when they had nowhere else to turn for work.

[@kiaramurray832]

@@lukefreeman828no, the network wanted season 9. He wrote and intended for season 8 to be the last episode. He’s stated this

Neil Flynn appeared in all but 1 episode in season 1. He filmed for the whole season, but was edited out of 1 episode so he could be classified as a guest-star rather than a full cast member.

[@jasonjones649]

[@mirozkapeluszem]

15:40 actually „hoży doktorzy” means „sick doctors” and it is purposefully spelled wrong to emphasize the madness. The correct spelling is “Chorzy doktorzy”.

[@Happymali10]

In an early episode JD has a fantasy of the Grim reaper "hanging out" at the hospital, having a rather relaxed personality. That's why he shows up in the finale.

[@Happymali10]

The one about "My Musical" is wrong. For most of the episode she's standing still, leaning on stuff or sitting. Her dance was filmed weeks later, once she'd healed a bit more.

[@andreasb.stasiak2238]

As was told by her in Extra material.

[@jdstanfieldx2367]

Best comedy sitcom ever...

[@curtisthomas2670]

The Janitor gave his name as Glenn Matthews but right after answered to another name someone called him.

[@ijunglistwilliams8659]

Been feeling like crap lately and didn't know how much I needed to watch this. JD & Turk beat my darkness again.

[@mikeycotgrave1]

So when Elliot spills her coffee. She doesn’t look at the janitor directly. She could be saying “sorry” in a sarcastic way to Turk for “Annoying him” keeping the illusion the janitor is in JDs head alive, I this season.

[@detectivesquirrel2621]

Bill Lawrence also wrote Spin City with Michael J. Fox who appeared as a guest star in Scrubs. And yes should have stopped after season 8 as Season 9 is crap. Also Murphy's Law is named after an American test pilot who was the first to break the sound barrier, originally it is known and still is in UK as Sod's Law.

[@Scott_G]

I loved this show. Thanks for creating a video about it. It was a show that had you laughing so hard you were crying one second, and then just plain crying the next. It had a ton of heart. The podcast is really really good if anyone is interested.

[@Kerriangel]

There’s another clue to the twist about Bens death. In the scene where Elliot is talking to Cox and Ben is moving her like a puppet; there is a sign behind Ben saying “Pay Attention” and Elliot doesn’t react to Ben because she can’t see him

[@ironcross130]

So 87 is wrong I'm pretty sure. For the most part, judy is either sitting or standing stationary for her parts. "For the last time, I'm Dominican" was filmed much later as evidence by Stephanie D'Abruzzo much longer hair that could have been cut due to other work commitments.

[@andreasb.stasiak2238]

Also talked about by her in the Extra material.

Sarah Chalke actually said that the JD/Elliot stunt doubles that got married had split recently :(

[@konstantinbuss98]

Scrubs will always have only 8 seasons! Season 9 is a joke to everyone who watched the full series

[@stillatin]

Season 9 was supposed to be a spin off so yeah technically there's no season 9

[@candythomson844]

[@oldgranite6467]

Per bill lawrence, dr. jan itor was absent from one season one episode because he did not have a series regular contract as he did not audition for the role. lawrence talked the studio into making him a regular in season 2. It was discussed during an episode of the braff and faison "real friends, fake doctors" podcast

Elliot doesn't necessarily spoil the whole 'imaginary janitor' joke, if you watch carefully she doesn't address him directly, they could always have gone back and revealed she was speaking to some else offscreen.

[@colina1330]

Looking back on Scrubs in 2020 makes me realize how many sexist/racist jokes were on that show. They put Zach Braff in black/brownface quite a bit. Not to mention Dr. Cox calling JD by a girl's name at every opportunity. It sucks, because the show had good enough writers that it could have been just as funny without them feeding into that kind of thing. That said, it's still an incredible piece of television history. My Lunch and My Screw Up are right up there with some of the saddest TV episodes I've ever seen.

[@Sabbalab92]

About fact 86, People thought that when Rowdy came back in season 6 was when they found him, but in "Fake Doctors, Real Friends" they revealed that they found Rowdy pretty quickly after it was hidden. It is still why they got Steven, but I just wanted to point that out.

[@TheTenthDoctor]

Fun fact: In seasons 3/5, Dr Cox is seen with facial hair. Both times he was going through a hard time because he lost people or felt depressed, depression hair I guess. When he lost Ben and 3 patients to rabies. Only two times he had a beard in the show. Also, in season 5 when JD helps Perry overcome his guilt for the patient’s deaths, he calls him by his actual name...JD. I’m 99% sure this was the only time he did so. Love this show

[@tapsweetTop10]

I miss Scrubs sooo much!! Who else loved this show??

102 - Scrubs cancelled some episodes on digital platforms, hence why you should always go physical when you can. If you don’t want your shows/movies retroactively edited _cough_ Star Wars _cough_ or lost to time and licensing, you gotta go DVD or BluRay. Get a good ripper and have the best of both worlds. If you don’t think there will be a cottage industry in offense archaeology that gets more stuff retroactively cancelled, you have not been paying attention.
