Chicago TribuneMaureen Ryan

This year, there’s much more of the loopy, creative humor that its fans have come to know and love.

Hollywood ReporterRay Richmond

The show hits the ground in midseason form after eight months and one change of venue, integrating a new crop of interns with seamless aplomb and again demonstrating how to fuse dramatic elements into a sitcom without breaking a sweat.

Newark Star-LedgerAlan Sepinwall

The first two ABC episodes of Scrubs, premiering back-to-back tomorrow night, more closely resemble the series in its marvelous early seasons, and suggest that Braff's victory lap will be a memorable one.

Rest easy. Scrubs is just fine (with all cast members, except Jenkins, back), though the opening episode is superior to the follow-up.

Alec H gave it a10:
Scrubs is the most genius show on television. Seeing it go through its transitional phases, as it is in this season, while maintaining its character and foundations is very amazing and pleasing.

David A. gave it a10:
I have been a fan of this series for quite a while now. I have always enjoyed the witty medical humor of the episodes interspersed with JD and Turks wild antics. One thing that will no doubt draw flack from the cynics is that almost every episode has a life lesson in it. To me this is the epitome of a television sitcom: light-hearted humor, drama, and character building resolutions all in one. This television series also manages to effectively humanize its characters and allows the average person to find some commonality between themselves and the actors/actresses; this is something that even multi-million dollar movies can’t do. The bottom line for this show is: some episodes are definitely funnier than others (so give it more than one viewing) and just try to give in to the moment; if you take it too seriously you will always be disappointed.

Scrubs is the best tv show on tv(I havent seen the office) but this season has been lacking in some of the areas its best at. First off, its not as funny as the other seasons. Also, there have not been any emotional episodes yet which gets me a little mad. I would think that one of the lead characters would have died by now. another problem I see is that they aren't putting turk, carla, j.d. and elliot together in the same episode a couple of tines. Yet this show remains my favorite. It got me to stop watching so much south park and family guy.

Alasdair gave it a10:
Scrubs is absolutely awesome and hilarious. I haven't seen these episodes yet, but they will be great. BTW, does Zach Braff have a beard there?

John D. gave it an8:
This show still has its comedy - buit it's less dense and much slower. Still better than most other comedies on tv right now, but still not as good as the early seasons.

Brennan M. gave it a10:
Thses 2 episodes were amazing! It was kinda a flashback to seasons 3-5, after they discovered they should be funnier, but right before they started losing their heart that made the characters so lovable. Awesome episodes, love this show, can't wait for more!

Joshua T. gave it a9:
One of the best episodes they've had in a while, and that's saying something. The same quirkiness that they had on NBC; I bet NBC is regretting letting this get away from them.
