Scrubs is the best medical show

Humor: My opponent argues that "Scrubs has some funny moments, however it's mix of humor and drama leaves the viewers wanting. During a dramatic scene, it is clear to the viewer that this goes against the real purpose of the show, namely to garner laughs. As a comedy, Scrubs is great but as a drama, it is mediocre at best." First off, let me point out that the real purpose of the show is not comedy, it's also drama. That's why if you look up the show, it will say: Comedy/Drama. If you've ever seen the episode where Laverne died, where Dr. Cox's brother died, the end of "My Lunch" where all of Dr. Cox's patients die, (which you should of since I posted the video in the first round) You would know that Scrubs is not a mediocre at best when it comes to Drama, in fact, the dramatic scenes is precisely what makes Scrubs such an amazing show. The comedy makes it a good show, the drama is what makes it a great show. And since my opponent stated that Scrubs had only some comedy, I beg to differ, if you have ever watched an episode of Scrubs in your life. How could you not love Rowdy, J.D and Turk's dead dog? He is hilarious. The Janitor goes down in history as one of the greatest characters of any sitcom. Ever. Realism: My opponent argues that Scrubs "contains only trace amounts of realism,' however, characters like the Todd, Janitor, Snoop Dogg resident, Beard Face, and the Colonel Doctor are only there for the comedy, yet are rarely ever used in the actual plots, (with the exception of the Janitor and the Todd, but they're awesome), and they don't change because they're not important. You can't have everyone in the show, including the unimportant people, change into better people, because that would just grow dull and boring. And you can't really argue that it's unrealistic, because do you notice people in your everyday life that are unimportant to you? Yes, these minor characters could be related to Seinfeld, Friends and The Office. But I'd like to point out that the Office started years after Scrubs, so they couldn't have been copying the multiple pregnancies from them. (Unless you're talking about the British version, but that also started at the same time as Scrubs). Plus, there are so many other shows that came and went that any character/storyline you could come up with is probably somehow related to another show, even if it's a show you've never seen before. And for Elliot's and J.D's on-again, off-again relationship and the undefined relationship between Dr. Cox and Jordan, you have to have SOME drama, otherwise the show just wouldn't be that interesting. And some may argue that their relationships aren't very unrealistic, because lots of people have problems with their relationships nowadays. For all the wackiness, for all the in-jokes, fantasy sequences, for all the musical numbers and puns, Scrubs has always been about death. While ER got credit as the first hospital show where patients died regularly, Scrubs was the comedy with the highest body count. And it was the specter of death, the understanding that hospitals are merely a stop-gap, a place where life begins and ends, that gave the show its core power. And its relatively casual attitude towards death has been one of the reasons why Scrubs remains the most realistic medical show on television according to most actual doctors and nurses. Theme Song: Yes, I admit that it's short, but 90% of theme songs are short too. The theme song doesn't actually apply to why Scrubs is the best medical show, it's just a bonus for being catchy, and does relate to the main characters in the earlier seasons, you said it yourself Polarity: I have never been even somewhat confused during any episode of Scrubs. Scrubs blends comedy and drama better than any show I've ever seen. That is a critical success Life Lessons: While yes, it is not the only show consistently showing life lessons in each episode. But it is the only show that delivers them so flawlessly, which makes it the best medical show there is. Music: Con says that it's annoying to hear the same piece of music in each episode. That's not true. Here's a link of every song ever played in Scrubs, they are not all similar. http://scrubs.wikia.com... Personal Growth: Contrary to Con's belief, the characters have changed a lot. Elliot is no longer as socially awkward and a way better doctor, and earned the respect of Dr. Cox and Dr. Kelso. Turk becomes a father and is married to Carla. Carla and Elliot are now best friends, compared to the first few episodes when they hated each other. J.D's only problems are no longer hospital-related anymore. So they do grow into better doctors and better people. All of my opponent's arguments have been refuted, I look forward to seeing what his next arguments would be.
