The female lead in this movie is Sarah Chalke. I am becoming a real fan of this extremely talented actress. Ms Alonzo plays her mother and turns in a good performance also. This is a cute story but it is also a little realer than most romantic comedies. These characters have real flaws and that makes them far more human. I liked it.

Beautiful, fashionable and fun, Clarissa Alpert is a shallow socialite whose speed dial is a veritable Rolodex of Hollywood power players. Staring her 32nd birthday directly in the eyes - though she will admit only to being 28 - the spoiled daddy\'s girl is in a panic because she is still single. Clarissa, though, always gets what she wants - even if he\'s Aaron Mason (Philip Winchester), the hottest new producer in town. With the help of her family and friends, Clarissa sets into motion an elaborate plan to lasso the dashing filmmaker who will, she hopes, be the man to put a ring on her finger.

"Scrubs", the popular medical comedy series which has been a staple on the NBC television network since 2001 but chose not to renew the show and drawing ire from the dedicated fans. Fortunately, the series was immediately picked up by ABC for its eighth season.
The longtime comedy series was created by Bill Lawrence ("Spin City", "Clone High" and "Cougar Town") and is a medical comedy series which takes place at Sacred Heart Hospital and focuses on the life of Dr. John J.D. Dorian (Zach Braff, "Garden State", "The Last Kiss"). J.D. has an imaginative mind, thus you often see things through his perspective and what he is saying to himself internally.He works with his off-and-on again girlfriend Dr. Elliot Reed (Sarah Chalke, "Clone High", "Roseanne" and "Nothing Too Good for a Cowboy") who has a similar sense of humor as him, his best friend Dr. Christopher Turk (Donald Faison, "The Boondocks", "Robot Chicken") and Turk's wife Nurse Carla Espinosa (Judy Reyes, "Third Watch", "The Passion"). And at the workplace, J.D. must put up with Dr. Perry Cox ("Any Given Sunday", "Stealing Harvard", "Office Space") who seems to not like him and the unusual janitor (Neil Flynn, "The Middle", "Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull").
With this eighth season, the season will be the final season focusing on the character of Dr. John "J.D." Dorian and also included on the Blu-ray are the web episodes of "Scrubs: Interns" which was shown on [...]. The eighth season focuses on J.D.'s relationship with Dr. Elliott Reed, working with their new interns but also J.D. leaving Sacred Heart Hospital.

VIDEO & AUDIO:
"Scrubs" is presented in 1080p with an aspect ratio of 1:33:1. The series is pretty much shot in a hospital but lighting is well-done and there are occasional outdoor scenes. For this season, it's the first to feature the cast outdoors ala another country. The two episodes "My Soul on Fire" is filmed at the Bahamas (Abacos) and definitely is a major change in pace for the series. Of course, picture quality for those two episodes alone are quite different as you see the beautiful ocean and scenery of Hopetown. Otherwise the series looks good and doesn't looked aged or overly compressed.
The series is not exactly "LOST" on BD type of quality but for the most part, it's a good video transfer for this series. Especially since it's shot mostly indoors.
Audio for "Scrubs" is in in English 5.1 DTS-HD Master Audio (48 kHz/24-bit). For the most part, the series is a dialogue-driven series. So, most of the audio is front and center channel driven.Dialogue is crystal clear but I did notice the difference in how the music comes out of my system compared to the DVD release. But overall, dialogue is understandable and very clear.
Subtitles are in English SDH, French and Spanish.
SPECIAL FEATURES:
"Scrubs - The Complete Eighth Seasons" is absolutely loaded with a ton of special features in 1080p High Definition and in English 2.0 Dolby Digital (with English SDH, French and Spanish subtitles):

This season is short but great. Having said that I have to say that the series is NOT over. It is moving to ABC for season 8. I keep seeing reviews where it says series ended with season 7. Not true. It just ended its run on NBC. ABC picked it up for 18 episodes for season 8. Just had to clear that up.

With its deft combination of humor and heart, this single-camera sitcom is a both a critical and cult favorite. Scrubs stars Zach Braff as J.D., an eager doctor at Sacred Heart Hospital. With J.D. as its narrator, the show frequently dips into surrealism as it shows his strange thoughts and daydreams. The rest of the characters on Scrubs are equally eccentric: best friend Turk (Donald Faison), bossy nurse Carla (Judy Reyes), J.D.'s reluctant mentor Dr. Cox (John C. McGinley), the anxiety-ridden ex-girlfriend Elliot (Sarah Chalke), and J.D.'s arch nemesis, known simply as 'Janitor' (Neil Flynn). This set contains all episodes from season seven of this popular series.

Scrubs: The Complete Ninth and Final Season (2009) Review

Scrubs: The Complete Ninth and Final Season (2009)
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
It's too bad that this show had to be called Scrubs, because it would have made a relatively good first season of a different show. And, as another reviewer has pointed out, the Scrubs holdovers were often the worst part of this last season.
Why was this show finally canceled? Let us count the ways:
1. In a move that apparently only the staff writers found funny, Zach Braff's J.D. became increasingly vane, stupid, and effeminate to the point of being totally ridiculous. This change began in season 5 when JD's silliness leaked out of his fantasies and into his normal behavior, when J.D. began truly acting selfishly with regard to his relationships with Elliot (especially) and Turk (occasionally). This annoyance persisted throughout seasons 6 and 7 as the fantasies got longer and dumber and the stories lost their humanity and realism. Though the writers sagely brought back the sweet and introspective J.D. for almost all of season 8, we find him back in his worst insecure, jealous, appletini drinking form here in season 9. He seems to exist only to appease those who tuned in to see Braff's mug.
2. After slowly softening Dr. Cox and Kelso up for the last 8 years, the writers had no antagonist against whom they could pit these new med students. In the first seasons, audiences rooted for JD, Elliot, and Turk to hold their own against Kelso, Cox, and Bonnie. In later seasons, the stories became more about unfolding those once menacing characters and watching JD, Elliot, and Turk grow up. With all of that out of the way, these new cast members are left without much of a challenge, as no one really finds Cox or Kelso all that scary. Even the patients, often demanding, uncooperative, or just hillarious in earlier seasons of Scrubs, are mostly just warm bodies this time around.
3. The choice to focus on Lucy as the new protagonist was an obvious but poor one. Lucy was written to appeal to audiences in the same way that J.D. had: she is unimpeachably nice, well-intended, and in over her head. Unfortunately, the scripts magnify Lucy's insecurity and weirdness to such a degree that she never feels like much of a real person. Her decisions (sleeping with Cole, for example) never seem to make much sense, nor is she terribly sympathetic. In short, it's hard to root for her because she seems hopeless, stupid, and hollow. Practically anyone, though especially Drew or Denise, would have made a better lead.
4. The writers clearly ran out of ideas by this season. Longtime fans of the show would watch familiar storylines play out in familiar ways. Echoing Elliot's interactions with Phillip, Denise would be forced to deal with Cole, the rich kid whose well-connected parents make his life easy. Echoing Elliot's naive belief in the power of a heroin addict to quit, Lucy invests her faith in a hopeless drunk. Echoing Elliot's stuggle with showing compassion to a young mother, Denise learns to show compassion to a young child. Over and over again, the same stories repeat with only slight deviation. Cole's entire character, for the first half of the season, appears to be little more than a less funny version of The Todd.
With all of this said, there are a few high points.
1. Cole's character does eventually show some humanity and, in doing so, becomes far funnier. His frequent run-ins with Drew and his inadequate attempts at being a boyfriend to Lucy are some of the few truly laughable one-liners in the season.
2. Drew, Dr. Cox's new protege, is absolutely the standout member of the cast. Not only is he incredibly believable as the kind of kid Cox would actually like, but his past as a med school burnout is truly novel.
3. Turk and Kelso remain true to form and are both hilarious.

Scrubs - The Complete Sixth Season (2001) Review

Scrubs - The Complete Sixth Season (2001)
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
THE SHOW:
Television is very much like movies in that shows are constantly being churned out, but truly there are only a few good gems out there. Scrubs may be one of the best comedies ever to grace the screen. The characters are all relatable and the stories touch incredibly deep. Better yet is that it's a sitcom that creates story arcs that expand season to season. I hate episodic television where each episode is a new story and whatever happened last week really doesn't matter to what happens this week. Scrubs is different, it is able to create incredibly deep characters and touching stories while stringing it all together with comedic charm. I've been a Scrubs fan from the beginning and season six sets everything up for the final season to one of the best shows I have ever watched.
If you're reading this review I'm going to assume that you too are a Scrubs fanatic who has been watching since the beginning. I really don't want to do a synopsis of the season, but I'll set up what you can expect if you haven't seen the season yet. J.D and Elliot become torn apart into their own separate relationships. J.D accidentally gets a girl pregnant, which was the cliffhanger from season 5. Now J.D must face up to his responsibility even though he may not love the woman who is the mother of his child. Elliot becomes engaged with Keith but seriously doubts whether or not if she loves him. All the while there are the countless side stories with the other characters that you will need to watch the season to experience. Stand out episodes from this season are of course the "My Musical" episode and the "Their Story" episode.
The "My Musical" episode is absolutely a delight mostly because throughout the series the show has done quite a few musical numbers and of course Scrubs is known for its great use of music at the end of the episodes. The creators hired real Broadway choreographers and songwriters to craft the show together and created one memorable episode. The "Their Story" episode is a continuation of episodes that the show does each season where we leave the narration of J.D and look into the mind of one of the side characters. However in this one episode we delve into what the creators call "the third tier" of side characters like Ted and Todd.
I think what a lot of people may notice is that this season felt like it hit a snag halfway through and a lot of people got the impression that this was the final season. In actuality the creators thought this was indeed the final season. We even had an episode that was nothing but a clip-show and we even got an instance where we almost learn the Janitor's name. For anyone who doesn't know, it's always been said that once we learn the Janitor's name that means the show would come to an end. That's also why a major supporting character dies. It really felt like they were closing up shop, but when NBC announced they would hold them for one more season they had to open up the storylines again.
In actuality I felt like the season held up incredibly well despite the slight snag midseason. In no way has the show lost its touch and in no way has the writing ever gotten lazy or dull. Scrubs has been constantly moving headstrong through all its seasons and I am incredibly sad that season 7 will be the last one. I've never encountered a show where I could relate real-life situations to the situations the characters are experiencing in the show. Never have I seen a show that could have me laugh and cry at the same time within the same episode. Scrubs has continually been that breath of fresh air on primetime network television and it's sad that the show could have potentially run for a bit longer despite all the studio quarrels. Scrubs does air on NBC but it's produced by Buena Vista, a Disney company which would make one question why it doesn't air on ABC where it belongs. At least we get a final season so the writers can wrap up the series well.
SPECIAL FEATURES:
Making Of: "My Musical":
This is a great little behind the scenes look at the musical episode. It has interviews with all the main cast members plus all the people brought in to turn the world of Scrubs into a musical.
Judy Reyes Keeps Talking:
If you have the other Scrubs seasons on DVD then you know "Keeps Talking" feature where a cast member sits down for a little one on one interview. Reyes talks mostly about her memories of the show and a little bit about the musical episode.
Deleted Scenes:
The deleted scenes are interesting because the show you the aired version of a scene then show you the original cut of it. Most of the scenes just have added dialogue that clutters a bit or maybe it was cut for time.
Alternate Lines:
The alternate lines featurette is great because it always showcases how the actors bring their own comedic abilities to the table. You will see the final scene then all the alternate lines that the actors come up with.
Practice, Practice, Malpractice:
Okay, so this is the surprising missing special feature. These are the outtakes that are clearly labeled on the back of the box, they've been included with every season, but for some reason they aren't on this set. This is a pretty big screw up and it disappoints me that Disney messed up and forgot to put this feature on yet still labeled it as included.
Audio Commentaries:
This season gives us audio commentaries for each episode and they are great. There is a lot of talking about casting and just the overall execution of the show. You'll hear some stuff about choices made with the characters and overall it's great to see every episode has a commentary now with various cast and crew.
The Third Tier:
A special feature that is not listed on the back of the box is a cool one. Bill Lawrence talks about all the side characters that make up the third tier. These characters include Ted, Todd, Doug, Lloyd, etc. They talk about how the characters have been pretty fleshed out and how they love to continue to give them side stories.
The Debra & Stephanie Show:
This is another special feature that isn't labeled on the back of the box, and no this isn't about the girl names that Dr. Cox calls J.D. This little featurette sits down and talks with the writer of the musical episode and the actress who portrays the patient who hears everyone singing in her head. I think it adds a little too much since we've already heard plenty about the musical episode already.
Easter Egg:
There is a hidden feature on the first menu page of the special features menu on disc three. Look for the cherries and try to highlight them with your cursor. It's basically Bill Lawrence numbering a bunch of potential spoilers for season 7 and then after it all he says "I guarantee 4 of what I said are true". So, if you don't want potential spoilers then don't watch.
Okay, to sum up my issue here. Why would Buena Vista just copy and paste the special features list when there is in fact no Outtakes feature. They also failed to list two special features that are actually on the disc. So, they listed one feature that isn't on and failed to list two features that are on. This is a huge mistake and someone should be fired because of it.
VIDEO:
Scrubs is a show that still hasn't made the switch to widescreen, but it's okay. The 4:3 aspect ratio is pretty good. The Scrubs DVD's don't have the most vibrant transfers, but they are definitely better than what you see when they broadcast.
AUDIO:
The 5.1 track is great because you get all those ambient hospital sounds and it makes it feel like you're in the room with the characters. The 5.1 mix is also great for all the music in the show.
BOTTOM LINE:
Buena Vista screwed up big time with the listing of the special features on the package, but otherwise this is a must own set. I love the amount of special features there are, but I just hate that they screwed up in listing them. Scrubs fans should go out and buy it right now. I'm going to miss this show a lot, and it's going to be bittersweet when it comes time to review the final season on DVD next May.

With their internships and residencies behind them, this is the first year that Turk, J.D, and Elliot are all full-fledged attending physicians. Since the series had originally been based on how interns and residents cope during these transitional years, it would be a challenge for the show to continue to be funny and fresh, but it did not disappoint. At this point I must warn you there are spoilers ahead, particularly in the last paragraph.
J.D is now an attending, and much of his story has to do with him realizing that with the perks of this position comes certain unexpected drawbacks, such as the group of interns with which he is entrusted laughing at his very unfunny jokes in order to score points. "My Jiggly Ball" was also along these lines, with J.D. given the task of introducing Dr. Kelso at a dinner. If J.D. doesn't compliment Kelso, he knows he'll be fired. However, if he doesn't tell the truth he knows he'll lose the support of his colleagues. There's also a little more insight into Kelso in this episode, and we find out that his gruff exterior may just be a way of him coping with decisions he makes each day that save some lives at the expense of others. Finally, there is the ever-present issue of J.D. and his romance problems. In "My Half Acre", I thought J.D. had met his match in the dangerously uncoordinated Julie, but like so many other times it was not to be. Although, I have to say this time, the reason for J.D.'s collapsed romance didn't make very good sense to me.
As for Turk and Carla, of course their long-running story is their attempt to conceive a child. Turk goes from secretly medicating Carla with birth control pills to understanding that, to Carla, making a baby is the most romantic thing in the world. They both have doubts and difficulties but eventually, and not surprisingly, they are successful. What is surprising is that because of the cheap pregnancy test Turk has bought, it takes an extra bit of time for the stick to turn blue, and thus Turk knows the truth before Carla. In fact, thanks to Turk and J.D. the entire hospital knows before Carla. When they find out Carla has been looking forward to telling everyone herself, J.D. and Turk have to make sure that nobody tells Carla what they already know.
Elliot starts out the season on a bright note, since she has gotten a fellowship in a neighboring hospital. She is determined to make a fresh start there, and that includes claiming she knows things she doesn't, such as the location of the medical supplies. Thus she is constantly driving back and forth between her new job and where she knows she can find the supplies - Sacred Heart. This job doesn't last long, though, when the most irritating guy at her new hospital unexpectedly cures the disease she was hired to work on. She thus finds herself back at Sacred Heart with her own batch of interns. Unfortunately, she gets involved with one of them. He happens to be the most talented, but her handing off the choicest jobs and the highest praise to him appears as favoritism to all of the other interns until J.D. comes to her defense.
Cox is still around handing out advice seasoned with sarcasm, but this season he is a senior peer to J.D. rather than a taskmaster, and the transition is handled well. Particularly good is "My Lunch" and "My Fallen Idol". Here the roles of J.D. and Cox wind up being somewhat reversed. Three patients are in need of organ transplants when an annoying former patient, Jill, is admitted and then dies of what appears to be a cocaine overdose. Under Dr. Cox's directions, her organs are transplanted into the three patients and all is going well. However, the patients start feeling ill, and the final lab report comes back revealing the real cause of Jill's death.
On the lighter side, the janitor is still around making life miserable for J.D. Will he ever get over that penny in the sliding door? During the course of the season he manages to find a way to get J.D. in trouble without ever coming near him through the magic of modern digital photography, invents a new game whose sole purpose is to torment J.D., and tricks J.D. into commiting burglary by making J.D. believe he is helping the janitor move. Last but not least, Ted, the much abused hospital lawyer, finally has the upper hand when Kelso hits him with his car and Kelso fears a lawsuit.
The only problem with this season is the final episode. We've all been expecting Carla's pregnancy and the birth of Turk and Carla's firstborn to be a big part of the storyline, and it was well integrated into the show. Also, enough time has passed since Cox and Jordan had their child that the storyline didn't seem rehashed. However, the final episode sets up a trio of pregnancies, including Carla's, that just seems like a trainwreck waiting to happen in season six. We shall see.

This is an excellent collection for any fan of the show. I myself love the show and what better way to feed your scrubs appetite than with this ultimate collection. I, however after watching the collection have realized that there are a few glitches with it. I don't know if the movie studio was rushed into releasing this collection before given enough time to properly review it. I have a feeling that is what happened. The episode selection option gives you the option to watch single episodes at a time instead of watching them all. However with this option sometimes the episodes freeze at the end after the credits have rolled and the title screen wont load. I have found that I have to push stop and then play again to get the disc to work. Other than that and a few other glitches it is a good collection.

Scrubs - The Complete Fourth Season (2001) Review

Scrubs - The Complete Fourth Season (2001)
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
For five years now television has been graced with some great comedies standing out from the dreck that surrounds it. Arrested Development was tragically lost, leaving Scrubs as one of the few great comedies remainging on network television. Scrubs brings a richness to a genre that is sorely lacking in originality, and continues to improve on itself year after year, its intelligent, quirky, and sometimes wacky humor continuing to shine.
When we last left off in the Season 3 finale, JD broke Elliot's heart, Carla and Turk were getting married, and Dr. Cox and Jordan were learning how to raise a child together. As season 4 opens, JD and Elliot are learning to work with one another after the bad breakup while competing for the Chief Resident position, Turk and Carla are struggling with newlywed life while Turk is faced with some health issues, and JD and Turk's relationship sees some difficulties. The best episodes in Season 4 are the most emotionally honest ones, like the Elliot POV episode Her Story, My Cake, and the great My Best Moments. The season ending My Changing Ways is somewhat subdued, but lays the groundwork for some changes in Season 5.
Season 4 continues the Scrubs tradition of fantastic guest stars. Heather Graham (Boogie Nights) has an multi-episode arc as the irritating but intriguing Dr. Molly Clock, Tom Cavanaugh (Ed) returns as JD's brother Dan, and Richard Kind (Spin City) is back as the hypochondriac Mr. Korman. Juliana Marguiles (ER) Matthew Perry (Friends), Michael Boatman (Spin City), Molly Shannon (Saturday Night Live), and Collin Farrell also make appearances. The seasons 25 episodes run just over 500 minutes.
There are several featurettes, including a look at JD and Dr.Cox's relationship, a look at Sacred Heart's female characters, and an interview with the Bell Biv Devoe lipsynching master himself, Donald Faison. The great music from the season is included, mixed in Dolby 5.1. The usual trove of deleted scenes and alternate takes will likely be included. The Scrubs releases have the most extras of any TV shows released on DVD, making them well worth the money.

In this age of unbelieveable pablum and slit-your-wrists must-miss television, it is unfathomable to me that this phenomenal, well-written, well-acted, and flat-out fantastic television show has been so badly used by NBC, and that they're uncertain about releasing it on DVD. Just this week I happened on the season premiere of 4th season, hidden away on the schedule at 7:30 SATURDAY night, and this after three seasons of bouncing it around the schedule like an unwanted stray. It's as though the network wants to kill it, when it could be, if given the chance, every bit as big a success as "Friends," "Fraiser," and "Will & Grace." Yes, it's quirky, but it's a masterpiece of television genius, and deserves better treatment. I hope to see the early seasons on DVD soon!
