Scrubs is an American
comedy-drama created in 2001 by
Bill Lawrence and produced currently by
ABC Studios. The show follows the lives of several employees of
Sacred Heart, a
teaching hospital. It features
fast-paced dialogue,
slapstick, and surreal
vignettes presented mostly as the
daydreams of the central character,
Dr. John "J.D." Dorian, played by
Zach Braff.
Alongisde Braff, the first eight seasons of the show starred
Sarah Chalke,
Donald Faison,
John C McGinley,
Judy Reyes,
Ken Jenkins and
Neil Flynn. In the ninth season, only Faison and McGinley will appear as regular cast members, while the rest with the exception of Reyes, will make guest appearances. A complete script is written for each episode of
Scrubs; however, actors are given opportunities to improvise their lines during the shooting process. The series has repeatedly featured guest appearances by film actors not generally seen on episodic television, such as
Colin Farrell,
Heather Graham, and
Brendan Fraser.
