Scrubs The Complete Fourth Season - The Memorable TV DVD Review

Season four of Scrubs, the best medical sitcom since M*A*S*H, has just been released by Buena Vista in a four disc set. The show Scrubs focuses on the bizarre experiences of fresh-faced medical intern John 'JD' Dorian as he doggedly pursues his career in a surreal hospital crammed full of unpredictable staffers and patients - a place where humour and tragedy can merge at any time.

Joining JD on his professional and personal odyssey are his college friend, Chris Turk and JD's fellow medical intern, the beautiful but socially awkward Elliot Reid. When Elliot rekindles her relationship with old flame Sean, JD has to come to terms with his jealousy, eased by the arrival of the mysterious Danni.

Meanwhile, Turk's relationship with no-nonsense nurse Carla Espinosa continues to go from strength to strength - but with his ability to put his foot in his mouth, and her short temper, their happiness is still only ever an ill-judged word away from oblivion.

Matthew Perry, Tom Cavanagh and Molly Shannon are just a few of the guest stars joining the staff this year. And the crew of Sacred Heart makes their biggest moves yet as Elliot leaves the hospital for a new job, and J.D. faces life on his own for the first time.

THE VERDICT

One of the funniest sitcoms currently on TV, slick, fast-paced, its a finely acted ensemble comedy, with

dream sequences, slow and fast-motion, asides to camera and smart visual references to other sitcoms and a genuinely original look that have assured its cult following.
