March to the beat of, beat of my drum
‘Cause when I call you, you’re gonna come
Hold in position, it’s gonna blow
You only move when, when I say so
Back in the early 2000s, I was obsessed with the first couple of seasons of Scrubs. I loved JD + Turk’s bromance energy and Dr. Cox was an epic douche bucket. But after a while, life got busy. I had tons of homework that needed to get done and piano sheet music that I needed to memorize and watching television was no longer something I had time for.
Last week, my assistant asked if I wanted to watch Scrubs so we could talk about it together at work next week. I figured, why the fuck not? I’m busy but that’s not going to change and for nostalgia’s sake, I wanted to see if it was as good as I remembered.
The first two episodes that dropped got me. Surprisingly, the show is medically accurate unlike Grey’s Anatomy (throws shade). Another show that is also medically accurate is The Pitt, which won a plethora of awards recently. The Pitt is also in the queue but right now I don’t have the bandwidth for medical drama because I literally live it almost every day. It would feel like work and I’m not trying to do that right now.
Scrubs is iconic. It not only sheds light on humanity and emotional depth but also keeps it 100 portraying the daily grind, bureaucracy, insecurities, normalizing that healthcare workers are human and can make mistakes, and how death impacts us… while keeping it light. Plus each episode is about 20-22 minutes, which is perfect for my attention span these days.
Scrubs in 2026 just hits different.
Do you watch any medical television shows?
