Description :
Scrubs heads into its fifth season with four Emmy nominations including one for "Outstanding Comedy Series." Winner of a prestigious Humanitas Prize and nominated for a Producer's Guild Award in 2004, two Emmy Awards and a People's Choice Award in its debut season. Scrubs focuses on the strange experiences of fresh-faced medical resident John "J.D." Dorian (Zach Braff, Garden State) as he embarks on his healing career in a surreal hospital crammed full of unpredictable staffers and patients — where humor and tragedy can merge paths at any time.
Joining the rumpled J.D. at Sacred Heart Hospital are fellow residents Chris Turk (Donald Faison, Remember the Titans, Felicity) — J.D.'s college buddy who is part of the more elite surgical group, and the beautiful but socially awkward Elliot Reid (Sarah Chalke, Roseanne).
Keeping a watchful eye over these young doctors are the caustic chief of medicine, Dr. Bob Kelso (Ken Jenkins, Courage Under Fire); the abrasive but caring Dr. Perry Cox (John C. McGinley, Wall Street, Platoon), and no-nonsense nurse Carla Espinosa (Judy Reyes, Oz). Neil Flynn (Magnolia) the hospital janitor, portrays J.D.'s nemesis, and he never seems to miss an opportunity to harass his target.
