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

[@dancollins43]

@@defmore5099 That happened because both halves of the episode are intended to be polar opposites of each other

👏 👏 BRAVO!

I dont care that shes the creator's wife Jordan was an amazing and hilarious character. the actress played the perfect Jordan

[@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!

[@haukeflux1854]

Fact 91: The Grimm Reaper is featured in one episode as a sort-of coworker in the hospital, because dying is so common in a hospital. Well at least in a daydream of JD

We all know The Janitors name is Jan Itor/Itór....

[@butzmn7190]

Dr.! He is Dr. Jan Itor

[@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.

[@alandavidson9627]

Not one fact about Dr Kelso 😢

[@pacco9532]

[@mah4565ify]

Ken Jenkins was a fan of marijuana and according to Zach, is possibly the only actor on the set of scrubs who might challenge Donald Faison for most time spent high on camera

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

[@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.

[@aburd9]

[@sumbulaga8679]

True we never say die Anfänger. It's always scrubs lol

[@TheSarakania]

And in the polish version it actually (and ironcally) translates into "sick doctors" ;)

[@butzmn7190]

I have legit never heard anyone say anything else than scrubs while talking about it

[@smokingduck507]

Same here, I always have referred to it as "Scrubs"

[@brianban110]

One of the funniest shows ever

[@AlexSmith-ne9gl]

It's utterly ignored, well said man!

[@loboblanco4426]

Agreed

[@TheDarkSidePoet]

"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.

[@mikecook7495]

My favorite episode was Sarah chalk sitting on the toilet, on the rooftop, as the med helicopter comes down!

[@andreasb.stasiak2238]

It had Michael J. Fox in it so that was a big plus i think.

can someone watch too much scrubs - i don't think so :)

[@StephenFlagg01]

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.

[@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

[@TomFZER]

RIP Sam loyd

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.

[@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.

[@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”.

[@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.

[@curtisthomas2670]

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

[@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

[@cr1mssy491]

I let it stay because it was forced by producers than actually what they wanted to do with it. I'm still not the hugest fan of it though.

[@candythomson844]

No I didn't enjoy it either

[@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

[@jdstanfieldx2367]

Best comedy sitcom ever...

[@kaylobdennis3672]

Rob Maschio didn't invent the term "trisexual". That joke has been around longer than the show has.

[@ijunglistwilliams8659]

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

[@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.

[@Evlauf]

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

[@Aeneiden]

Wow that's sad if it is true

[@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.

[@16xthedetail76]

12:21 holy crap i loved the janitor before this fact but now... He deserves an oscar! That is fucking talent right there.

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.

[@patrickmimnagh6425]

Just finished watching the final episode of season 8 yesterday. Loved every minute of the show. Don't think I'll watch season 9. I feel it ended so perfectly. Also if you live in the UK or Ireland, you can watch it all for free on All 4 :)

[@defmore5099]

the grim reaper appeared with the other characters because he appeared at least 2 times. once with his daughter and once playing a board game with JD.

[@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

[@lugnut215401]

There are so many more facts about the show not mentioned for a Part 2. Which I hope you make.

[@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.

[@MrLorenzovanmatterho]

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.

[@kiaramurray832]

She does speak to the Janitor a couple times. She even directly addresses him as janitor. They go on a date. He gives her a ride on his cart, etc. he’s not an illusion

[@jonnyharding3646]

The little show that could. A masterpiece.

[@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

[@finnleyann5752]

The grim reaper was from that one fantasy where he was talking about how death is always there at the hospital and it's JD waving to the grim reaper as he sips coffee and says, "morning"

[@Rubix003]

Dr. Cox is my spirit animal

[@kaosblastcat2256]

You deserve alot more subs. Your videos are well edited and nice to watch. Hope you reach 1mil soon:)

[@weegeeRK]

15:40 actually the Polish title is a bit smarter than this. It's a world play. It may mean Fresh doctors the way it's written, but when said out loud, it also means "Sick Doctors" (and you're not able to say which one it really is until you see the title written down).

[@Ragadadalad]

So, since Community and Cougar town are in the same universe, and Scrubs and Cougar town are in the same universe, it follows that so are Scrubs and Community?

[@hyperform]

Scrubs is a TV show like Cougar Town in Community Universe and they reference it very often.

[@justinsmolik2834]

Hattie Wilson stars as Turk's mom, Margaret. Hattie is most known for her role on Becker, where she also played a character named Margaret.

[@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.

The Janitor was also one of the construction workers they cut to for commentary, in Major League. Another great bit part!

The "9th" season doesn't count as the "9th" season because it's a spin-off. It's called Scrubs: Interns, There's only one season.

[@TheGrandmaMoses]

Just because no german guy would understand your pronounciation of 'Die Anfänger', I'll try and give a little phonetic help: 'Dee Anvaengerr' is what it would sound like in englisch, the 'ae' sound is basically the sound you'd also use to pronounce the word 'friend' ( that's for our letter 'ä' which you guys do not use ) - well, not really, but it's the best thing I can think of to explain the sound of that letter to someone who has never used it. It sounds 95% correct, let me put it like this. That said, the show's title was 'Scrubs - Die Anfänger', which translates to 'Scrubs - The Beginners'. So the show was basically called 'Scrubs' and 'Scrubs' only, the 'Die Anfänger' part is just an added subtitle to convey some information to viewers that do not understand what the english word 'scrubs' refers to when reading about the show in a TV magazine. This is very commonplace in german television - 40 years ago we translated english shows' titles into german, nowadays we leave the original title and add a german subtitle. Some small examples: 'U.S. Border Patrol - Einsatz an der Grenze' ( U.S Border Patrol - Operations At The Border ), 'Bones - Die Knochenjägerin' ( Bones - The Bone Hunter ), Olympus Has Fallen - Die Welt in Gefahr ( Olympus Has Fallen - World in Danger ). I hope this proves an interesting read to some people. Thanks for the video, fine upload!

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.
