Scrubs - The Complete Fourth Season (2001) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)For five years now television has been graced with some great comedies standing out from the dreck that surrounds it. Arrested Development was tragically lost, leaving Scrubs as one of the few great comedies remainging on network television. Scrubs brings a richness to a genre that is sorely lacking in originality, and continues to improve on itself year after year, its intelligent, quirky, and sometimes wacky humor continuing to shine.
When we last left off in the Season 3 finale, JD broke Elliot's heart, Carla and Turk were getting married, and Dr. Cox and Jordan were learning how to raise a child together. As season 4 opens, JD and Elliot are learning to work with one another after the bad breakup while competing for the Chief Resident position, Turk and Carla are struggling with newlywed life while Turk is faced with some health issues, and JD and Turk's relationship sees some difficulties. The best episodes in Season 4 are the most emotionally honest ones, like the Elliot POV episode Her Story, My Cake, and the great My Best Moments. The season ending My Changing Ways is somewhat subdued, but lays the groundwork for some changes in Season 5.
Season 4 continues the Scrubs tradition of fantastic guest stars. Heather Graham (Boogie Nights) has an multi-episode arc as the irritating but intriguing Dr. Molly Clock, Tom Cavanaugh (Ed) returns as JD's brother Dan, and Richard Kind (Spin City) is back as the hypochondriac Mr. Korman. Juliana Marguiles (ER) Matthew Perry (Friends), Michael Boatman (Spin City), Molly Shannon (Saturday Night Live), and Collin Farrell also make appearances. The seasons 25 episodes run just over 500 minutes.
There are several featurettes, including a look at JD and Dr.Cox's relationship, a look at Sacred Heart's female characters, and an interview with the Bell Biv Devoe lipsynching master himself, Donald Faison. The great music from the season is included, mixed in Dolby 5.1. The usual trove of deleted scenes and alternate takes will likely be included. The Scrubs releases have the most extras of any TV shows released on DVD, making them well worth the money.
