Recently picked up fifth season of
Scrubs from Family Video (one of the last of the quickly-dying video store chains). The show really holds up, just as funny and entertaining as when it was on the air.
Two reasons why
Scrubs was such a good show:
Racial diversity, the black and Hispanic characters were just as fleshed out and integral to the show as the white characters.
Relatable storylines and actors. Much of the humor is over the top, but the characters go through breakups, career challenges and personal crises that everyone goes through. And while the cast is nice-looking and well-scrubbed (pun intended), no one is so drop-dead gorgeous that you feel intimidated by them.
By the way, there's a scene in one of the episodes where Donald Faison (whose character just happens to be named Chris) is wearing a shirt I have. That's the second time in as many months that I've seen someone on TV or the movies wearing something I own (Bradley Cooper wears another shirt of mine in "The Hangover 2"). Maybe I missed my calling? Wardrobe designer?
