Scrubs is the best medical show

HumorMy opponent in his response to my rebuttal fallaciously assumes that presenting a dramatic concept makes a show a good drama automatically. I was not saying that the show never explores dramatic subjects(Dr. Cox's alcoholism comes into play frequently), I was pointing out that one notices(as in, in a dramatic scene) that the show focuses too much effort on comedy, and that when a dramatic turn of events occurs, the show does not handle it well. Compared to the fantasy sequences and general tone of the show, any dramatic scene goes completely against the focus. This point(with the fact that a combination of comedy and drama are needed to make a show enjoyable to watch) by itself should be enough to show why Scrubs is not the best medical show, since other medical shows are able to blend drama and comedy in a much more fluent way.- See video 1RealismMy opponent points out that the fact that there are a large group of unchanging but consistently shown background characters used only for comedy is not a point against the show's realism since they're not important. He misunderstands my point though. I was showing that this(along with my other two sub-points) is as realistic as any other Sitcom like Friends or Seinfeld. As to the show's use of multiple pregnancies as plot pushers, my opponent responds by saying that The Office started after Scrubs and thus cannot be used as evidence. However, my opponent misses my point entirely. Neither The Office nor Scrubs were the first to use a pregnancy to forward the plot. The show Friends was using this before Scrubs even started, let alone used it for themselves. My point stands that quite a lot of the show's plot revolves around generic sitcom formula(weddings, pregnancies, on-again - off-again relationships, etc.)DeathIn touching on the point about death making Scrubs more realistic, Pro argues that since Scrubs is a comedy and not a drama(E.R., House), this should allow it special credit in regards to how it portrays death. But I ask, how does a comedy showing death a lot make it better than a drama that does so?Theme SongMy opponent has stated that this point didn't apply to his reasoning for the upholding of the resolution and so I will not make more out of it.PolarityMy opponent argues that he has never been confused by the show's polarity. However can he speak for everyone else? Take Laverne's death for example. Laverne dying affected everyone greatly but the episode about it was filled with comedy and then drama and then comedy again. Carla being so distraught over Laverne's death appears to hallucinate her but then cracks jokes with her the entire episode. Was Laverne's death really a dramatic point of the show?Life LessonsMy opponent argues that only Scrubs delivers so flawlessly life lessons. However what about House or Nurse Jackie consistently incorporating anti-drug lessons(though subtely). The main characters pill addictions are what drives quite a bit of the conflict in the shows. Or take E.R. with it's portayal of stress and preserverence. These are series wide themes that are explored over several episodes or even seasons while Scrubs abandoned it's central them three seasons in. As far as life lessons are concerned, Scrubs is definitely not the best.Personal GrowthElliot's social awkwardness still comes into play, mostly as a comedic bit, up until the end of her part in the series. Turk also stays jocky and boyish even when he shows patterns of father and husbandhood. Refer to my example about the picture in blood on his Scrubs. Also, as far as Carla and Elliot's friendship goes(also a trick of sitcomes to advance the plot), this happened over a series of only a few episodes with them being best friends with little evolution throught the rest of the series. As to J.D., my point was not that he was a bad doctor, but that he was still a nerdy and flamboyent person. This, instead of being downplayed as his character supposedly grew, was only magnified throughout the series.Vote Conhttp://www.youtube.com...
