message: Have you ever watched that episode where they make a horrible parody of a typical laugh track sitcom, and hint not-too-subtly that Scrubs itself isn't a sitcom at all?

It's a sitcom. It just chooses to parody the more popular sitcom format. Crimson Shadow 18:22, 16 May 2006 (UTC)

message: I added a section in the trivia about Zach Braff using his influence on the show to kiss female cast members and guest stars.  Feel free to add, elaborate, or edit as appropriate, those were all the actresses could remember - but I know there were more.

message: Is it just me, or does the nicknames section in the character biographies contain names which could not be classed as nicknames. For example J.Ds' nicknames are: "Newbie, Bambi, Q-Tip, Scooter, Alfalfa, Peepee Lafritz, The Boat, Kid, J-Dizzle, Whizz Kid, Vanilla Bear, Dorothy (nickname given to him when he played the lead role in his high school's production of The Wiz), numerous female names (such as "Clarabel" and "Marjorie"), numerous dog names (such as "Lassie" and "ToTo"), wants to be called Tiger, and does not like to be called Johnny. If he ever goes to prison, he wishes to be called Gizmo." The ones in bold were only used in a single episode, ususally only once. No-one actually calls him "The Boat", it is a name he says would be a good nickname and is not used by the other characters.Crimson Shadow 18:42, 2 March 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: Nicknames?

message: Most of the content in this section is either fluff or it is true and has no footnotes.  Two good examples:
-Dr. Cox's habit of referring to J.D. by girls' names was put in the show after the writers noticed John McGinley doing it to Zach Braff.
-Tom Cavanagh was especially hired to play J.D.'s brother because of his physical resemblance to Zach Braff.
I think this section should either be deleted or footnotes need to be found to support these claims.  --  Wikipedical 00:50, 14 February 2006 (UTC)

Not that I've seen; I have the music video for the full length song, extracted from the website with a hammer and tongs; it's over 3 minutes long.

replies: text:  Yea. For the first couple of episodes, they had a long winded version. Which wasn't that great, because of the length. But I have an inkling that one 3rd season episode did it, as well as one 1st season episode. Not sure. I'd have to check.  ~Vae 03:04, 19 December 2005 (UTC)

message: The article says that California is the most likely setting, but being in the Central Time Zone disqualifies it; California is in the Pacific Time Zone.

replies: text: I think like The Simpsons, there are very strong indications its a particular location but certain pieces of evidence disprove it simply to keep people continually guessing.

message: Why does this article use 'TV Show' to differentiate it from other Scrubs articles, while other shows (ie. M*A*S*H and Las Vegas) 'TV Series'. It doesn't matter that much, but it would make sense to use one or the other as a standard to help people find them easily. I couldn't think of any other shows to look up that might have disambiguations, so I don't know which is used more often.

message: There is a message coming up about whenever the page is edited saying This page is 35 kilobytes long. This may be longer than is preferable; see article size. I was thinking that it might be worth breaking the Characters section into a seperate page as its getting a little too big. A bit like what was done with the Characters from Arrested Development.

replies: text: I have created separate articles for each major character as there is enough content for each one to justify their own articles.  The main article is still too big - what do you think we should do?  Move all the minor and guest characters to their own article Characters of Scrubs or List of minor characters of Scrubs?  Maybe reduce the trivia section - this is huge and it may not all be necessary in an encyclopedia article. johnSLADE (talk) 19:36, 12 April 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  Article size too big 

message: I do not think that JD saying "I want to go home" is a reference to Clerks.  I think it's more like when Dorothy kept saying "There's no place like home" in The Wizard of Oz.  There were way too many references to the Wizard:  JD's red shoes, the yellow line/road, the lion, tiger, bear things, Cox calling JD "Dorothy", and the witch melting in the room.
:While I don't have a script or copy of the episode onhand, I'm pretty sure that JD's line is "I'm not supposed to be here!" which is very similar to Dante's line in Clerks of "I'm not even supposed to be here today." Granted, it may not be an homage, but the similarity is pretty close. --Zybergoat 11:16, 28 March 2006 (UTC)

replies: text: You've got your terms mixed-up, I think. Traditional sitcoms are filmed on an open stage, i.e. Seinfeld, Home Improvement, That 70's Show, etc. Because they use multiple cameras all facing the same direction, they're called multi-camera. Single-camera shows don't mean that they use just one camera, just that they usually don't have multiple cameras focused on the same thing. They also are filmed in a setting, not on an open stage. Single-camera sitcoms include Scrubs, My Name is Earl, The Office, and Malcolm in the Middle.

replies: text: Well in one of the episodes, JD watches The Fugitive and sees Neil Flynn acting as the police officer, then goes and challenges him about it. I took this to mean that, basically, the Janitor is Neil Flynn. Satan's Rubber Duck 14:31, 5 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I think this is one of those weird intermixings of reality and not-reality that we can't really reconcile. My take is that in Scrubs-world, the guy who appeared in The Fugitive is not Neil Flynn, but the Janitor. In real life it's Neil Flynn. To put it another way, in the alternate universe of Scrubs, the Janitor played the transit cop in The Fugitive. I don't think it's supposed to mean the Janitor is Neil Flynn, or that his name is Neil Flynn. --Decrypt3 22:54, 5 July 2006 (UTC)

message: I removed a bunch of clues from the Location section because they weren't relevant. Here's why:
* Carla is from Chicago: has no bearing on where she is now.
* Sending Carla's mom to Florida: so they're not in Florida. We're looking for clues to where they are, not where they aren't. There's no indication at all that they are in Florida, so this isn't really a counterpoint to anything.
* Go out and see Texas: same as previous one.
* Turk a Knicks fan: You don't have to live in a city to be a fan of their sports team.
* Miller Park: is probably just a generic-sounding park name. Knowing the Scrubs writers, it's probably named after someone who works for the show. Also, there are no palm trees in Wisconsin, and there are palm trees around Sacred Heart.

I'm confused, though, since supposedly they met in the middle of 2004, and that episode aired in 2002.  Has Braff been interested her since that time, or is the name in reference to something else?  --JYC

message: It might make sense to create individual episode pages for all of the episodes (right now they go up to mid- Season 3). First off, it's just a bit odd to have some individual episode pages lacking - especially for a series that's relatively popular. Second, having more pages encourages people to add more content. People seem to be willing to add a lot more content where they see a lack (such as a small episode page, as opposed to an incredibly long series page). Third, it would help significantly with the problem of the obese Trivia section - most of the trivia could be moved to the relevant episode page. Any thoughts? --Gpollock 07:09, 5 June 2006 (UTC)

We have the information, and it was a weird year for the way Scrubs aired, so why not discuss it?

message: From the location-section:
*The opening theme song makes references to the 405, which could be an offshoot of Interstate 5 in Southern California or the greater Seattle region in Washington state.
While that may be said in Lazlo Bane's "I'm no Superman", that part of the song isn't in the opening, there's only the "I can't do this all on my own / No I know / I'm no Superman"-part, so I'd argue if that point is actually important to where the shows location is. I mean, then you could also say that J.D. had a wife, because the song contains the line "The wife is working hard". Mullerbaby 13:09, 14 June 2006 (UTC)

message: Well, maybe orphaned is the wrong word. 'Homeless,' perhaps? I took these pieces of trivia off of the main Scrubs page, because they belong on the pages of the specific episodes they refer to. Problem is, the pages for the specific episodes they refer to do not exist yet. Normally, I would just leave them on the main page, but, since the main page is so long, and since new episode pages have been coming hard and fast recently, I'm just going to post them on this page temporarily until their episode pages are created. Feel free to move them over if you notice the relevant episode page has been created. (Note: These are not worded exactly as they were on the Trivia page. Most have been expanded, edited, or reworded.)
*5.08, "My Big Bird": J.D. and Turk’s encounter with a group of violent ostriches is a spoof of a scene in the film Dude, Where's My Car?
*5.11, "My Buddy's Booty": J.D.'s dig at Grey's Anatomy's similarity to Scrubs ("It's like they've been watching our lives and just... put it on TV!") is an homage to a similar dig on The Simpsons, which was directed at Dinosaurs. In The Simpsons episode Black Widower, Homer, Bart, and Lisa are watching a Dinosaurs-like show that is obviously ripping off The Simpsons, and Bart comments, "It's like they saw our lives and put it right up on screen!"
*5.16, "My Bright Idea": Despite fan belief, it has been confirmed that Dr. Cox's conversation with a red stapler is not a reference to the movie Office Space, in which John C. McGinley had a supporting role.
*5.16, "My Bright Idea": The music played during Janitor’s 100 meter run is a spoof of the music from Run Lola Run.
*5.18, "My New Suit": Dr. Kelso says Dr. Cox is "like House without the limp," referring to Gregory House from House.

If anyone can think of a better way to link it other than the link which is currently in the 'cast' section, feel free to edit in a new 'see also' type thing somewhere else.
Thanks for saving that section. But it was previously a seperate article that got deleted, forcing me to merge it with the Scrubs TV series page. Maybe we should expand that article into something more useful. Among the articles for Friends, there is a 'List of significant others on friends' article that contains a full list of all relationships, including detailed sections on Ross/Rachelm, Joey/Rachel and Monica/Chandler. Maybe if we re-named the JD and Elliot article to something like that (List of relationships on Scrubs, for example) the article would have more point. We could add sections on Turk/Carla and Cox/Jordan, along with info lists on the other relationships (For JD; Jordan, Alex, Lisa etc. For Elliot; Sean, Paul, Dan etc. For Cox; Kristen & Julie.EJB341 10:40, 5 September 2006 (UTC)

message: I noticed that today, Fat pig73 created an article on Sacred Heart Hospital. Right now, it's pretty sparse, and I worry that, in its present form, it might not survive an AfD. So, we need some content. Lo and behold, on our main Scrubs page - which is getting a bit too long - we have the section on the location of Sacred Heart. I'm going to be bold and move most of this information over to the Sacred Heart Hospital article. Any thoughts? --Gpollock 00:26, 16 September 2006 (UTC)

message: Isnt Carla the Head Nurse of Sacred Heart?  I thought it was Laverne, but after searching around I have seen Carla labeled as the head nurse. Since there was a lot of reference to Carla being "just a nurse"  i thought labeling her as Head Nurse would be more appropiate.  There is a difference between the Head nurse and the other nursing staff right?  Flyboyz2000k 05:00, 8 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I don't think there's anything to distinguish Carla, job-wise, from the rest of the nursing staff, apart from her long tenure. In S4 she rejected a promotion to administrative supervisor and we haven't heard anything about other promotions since. If you can come up with references stating that Carla is a head nurse of some kind, go ahead and put it in, but I think she's not. --Decrypt3 18:58, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

text: I seem to remember one episode when Carla was talking to Kelso about how she didn't like to talk to Laverne about some things because she is Laverne's superior.  I can't recall what episode excatly happened in or if it gave any information to her actual title, but maybe someone else does...  Either way, I'll keep my eye open for that episode.

message: Jordan had been listed as one of the main characters, with a mention of her becoming a regular cast member in Season 5. What's the source for this? As far as I know, Christa Miller/Jordan is still part of the show's "weapons chest" (supporting characters) along with Ted, Doug, Laverne, Todd etc. Jordan didn't feature in all the S5 episodes and didn't have a particularly large role in many of the ones she was in. And I think Bill Lawrence has said on many occasions that Christa Miller didn't want to commit herself too much, so she wouldn't become a regular. EJB341 21:32, 18 January 2007 (UTC)

message: I've only just noticed that Scrubs is classified as a Dramedy. I believe that it should be a sitcom even if it is a non-traditional one.

message: Under Trivia: "Bill Lawrence has stated on a few occasions that one of the characters other than one on the starring cast list (J.D., Elliot, Turk, Carla, Dr Cox, Dr Kelso, Janitor and Jordan) will be killed off in a future episode. The only clue he has spoken of so far is that the character was there from the start. Note - this may include Kim Briggs, who although only seen in the fifth and sixth seasons, was there 'from the start' (as stated by Turk in her introductory episode) although subconsciously ignored by J.D. since she was married."
Under "My Long Goodbye (6x15)": "Nurse Roberts is in a coma and they don't know when she will wake up. Elliot comes to visit and remembers the times when she was down and Nurse Roberts cheered her up. Carla comes in and tells Elliot not to say goodbye because people have come back from worse. Jordan is giving birth and only gives Dr. Cox 2 hours notice - he immediately starts freaking out."
Under "My Words of Wisdom (6x16)": "The fate of Nurse Roberts is revealed. J.D. treats a deaf patient and learns that Turk knows sign language. They are shocked when the parents refuse a surgical implant that would allow their son to hear."
Together, that would make one assume that the character to be killed off would be Nurse Roberts. Maybe that should be noted in the Trivia Section, seeing as how it's available from currently-existing resources. 65.96.103.25 05:38, 3 February 2007 (UTC)
