"I'm gonna have a good year, aren't I?" J.D. (Zach Braff), now an attending physician at Sacred Heart Hospital, asks in the fifth season's opening episode. All vital signs are good (the series did receive an Emmy nomination for Outstanding Comedy), but longtime Scrubs fans may be forgiven a sense of deja vu, from J.D.'s whimsical reveries to Dr. Cox's (John C. McGinley) increasingly tiresome rants. The series itself acknowledges the palpable sense of been there, seen that with the clever episode "Deja vu, Deja vu." But don't pronounce Scrubs dead just yet. Directed by Braff, "My Way Home," the series' 100th episode, is a brilliantly conceived homage to The Wizard of Oz with J.D. and company finding their hearts, brains, and courage. Another powerful episode that shows a welcome maturity is "My Lunch," in which J.D. at last has lunch with his reluctant mentor, Dr. Cox, in the wake of a patient's death (happily, the music rights were secured for the DVD release so that the Fray's "How to Save a Life" is playing on the soundtrack when Dr. Cox has his own tragic setback), and the follow-up episode, "My Fallen Idol." While Scrubs has a tendency this season to get "more ridiculous" (in one episode, Neil Flynn's Janitor defies Ken Jenkins' Dr. Kelso to secretly keep a crow in the hospital), the scalpel-sharp writing affords Braff moments that are, in his character's own words, "classic Dorian." In the episode "My Half Acre," he mixes his sports analogies to tell Elliot (Sarah Chalke), "What's waiting for me in my room is what's known, in football terms, as a slam dunk," as he mimes hitting a tennis ball. Mandy Moore, displaying a surprising knack for physical comedy, follows Tara Reid and Heather Graham as a fleeting love interest for J.D. Other character milestones include pregnancies for Carla (Judy Reyes) and two other characters best left a surprise. Good for whatever ails season 5 are this set's extras, including an entertaining series retrospective, featuring interviews with the cast and creators, as well as commentary by Braff for an extended cut of "My Way Home." --Donald Liebenson

 Never Received October 9, 2008
Seller listed this item without having it in stock. I paid for it and a few days after that is when I was informed that he didn't have it. Also took a couple days more to get refund.

Very good product. It's working fine even in a different country. It was a gift to my wife in SouthAmerica and is working ok.
Thanks
 Scrubs darlings July 11, 2008
This is a wonderful series. It is like an old friend, always there after a long, hard day of work. Love it!
still love it June 11, 2008
after 4 seasons of Scrubs the show continues on its all funny and sometime silly ways. While i didnt love each and every episode. I still found myself laughing out loud more often than not and that's what i really enjoy about the show. I can pop in a disc and commence to laugh my troubles away. A few of the episodes are sad and what not, but its to be expected being the characters do work in a hospital and death is all around them.
But they manage to keep the show going and you can tell that the actors are very comfortable with their roles and the changes that they all have gone through since first starting there. 5th season of the show works on a few levels and doesnt have the characters in the hospital the whole. As they venture out living their personal lives and still having fun as well.
Scrubs...how can you not love it? May 14, 2008
I bought this for my 18 year old daughter who is absolutely in love with SCRUBS. We watch it all the time on tv and I have to admit, no matter how many times I see the same episode over and over, it's still hilarious. These people work so well together and are such a good contrast with each other that it makes it believable and so funny. If you haven't watched SCRUBS, you are really missing out.
