The series follows the lives of employees at the fictional Sacred Heart teaching hospital. The title is a play on surgical scrubs and a term for a low-ranking person because at the beginning of the series, most of the main characters were medical interns. The series features fast-paced screenplay, slapstick, and surreal vignettes presented mostly as the daydreams of the central character, Dr. John "J.D." Dorian, who is played by Zach Braff. Actors starring alongside Braff in the first eight seasons included Sarah Chalke Donald Faison, Neil Flynn, Ken Jenkins, John C. McGinley, and Judy Reyes. The series has also featured multiple guest appearances by film actors, such as Brendan Fraser, Heather Graham, and Colin Farrell. In the ninth season, many new cast members were introduced and the show setting moved from a hospital to a medical school. Out of the original cast, only Braff, Faison and McGinley became regular cast members while the others, with the exception of Reyes, made guest appearances. Braff appeared in six episodes of the ninth season before departing. Kerry Bishé, Eliza Coupe, Dave Franco, and Mosley became series regulars with Bishé becoming the show's new narrator. Scrubs premiered on October 2, 2001 on NBC. The series received a Peabody Award in 2006. During the seventh season, NBC announced that it would not renew the show. Shortly after the seventh season finale, ABC announced it had picked up the eighth season of the series, which began January 6, 2009. The ninth season premiered on December 1, 2009. On May 14, 2010, ABC announced it had officially canceled Scrubs.[1] Contents 1 Overview 2 Cast and characters 3 Season synopsis 4 Production 4.1 Title sequence 4.2 Main crew 4.2.1 Medical advisors 4.3 Filming location and Sacred Heart Hospital 4.4 WGA strike and network change 4.5 Switch to ABC 4.5.1 Season eight 4.5.2 Season nine 4.6 Cancellation 4.7 Crossovers 4.8 Cinematography and delivery format 4.9 Music 4.9.1 Theme song 4.9.2 Soundtracks 4.9.3 Featured musical contributors 4.9.4 The "Worthless Peons" 5 Reception 5.1 Critical reception 5.1.1 First eight seasons 5.1.2 Ninth season 5.2 Awards and nominations 5.3 Ratings 6 References 7 External links http://enc.tfode.com/Scrubs(series) Page 1 of 11 Scrubs(series) - The Free Online Dictionary and Encyclopedia (TFODE) 11/21/13 7:56 AM 7 External links Overview Scrubs focuses on the unique point of view of its main character and narrator, Dr. John Michael "J.D." Dorian (Zach Braff) for the first eight seasons, with season nine being narrated by the new main character Lucy Bennett (Kerry Bishé). Most episodes feature multiple story lines thematically linked via voice-overs done by Braff, as well as the comical daydreams of J.D. According to Bill Lawrence we decided was, rather than have it be a monotone narration, if it's going to be Zach's voice, we're going to do everything through J.D.'s eyes. It opened up a visual medium that those of us as comedy writers were not used to."[2] Actors were given the chance to improvise their lines on set with encouragement by series creator Bill Lawrence, with Neil Flynn and Zach Braff being the main improvisors. Almost every episode title for the first eight seasons begins with the word "My." Bill Lawrence says this is because each episode is Dr. John Dorian writing in his diary (revealed in the commentary on the DVD of the first season episode "My Hero"). A few episodes are told from another character's perspective and have episode titles like "His Story" or "Her Story". Apart from a brief period of narration from J.D. at the beginning and the end, these episodes primarily contain internal narration from other characters besides J.D. The transfer of the narration duties usually occurs at a moment of physical contact between two characters. Starting with season nine, the episode titles start with "Our..." as the focus has shifted from the perspective of J.D. to a new group of medical students, with Lucy Bennett narrating. The webisodes that accompanied season eight, Scrubs: Interns, also were named "Our...". Cast and characters Main article: List of Scrubs characters For the first eight seasons, the series featured seven main cast members, with numerous other characters recurring throughout the Starting with the ninth season, much of the original cast left as regular characters, while four new additions were made to the main Zach Braff portrays John Michael "J.D." Dorian (seasons 1–9), the show's protagonist and narrator. J.D. is a young attending physician the series as a staff intern. His voice-over to the series comes from his internal thoughts and often features surreal fantasies. J.D. describes himself as a "sensi", enjoying acoustic alternative music and being a lover of hugs. Over the course of the series J.D. rises the ranks of the hospital before leaving Sacred Heart to become the Residency Director at another hospital, before briefly returning to become a teacher at Winston University. J.D. has a son with ex-girlfriend Kim Briggs and a child with wife Elliot Reid. Sarah Chalke portrays Elliot Reid (seasons 1–8, recurring season 9), another intern and later private practice physician. Her relationship with J.D. becomes romantic on several occasions throughout the series, resulting in them eventually marrying and having a child together. As the series progresses, despite an initial dislike of each other, she and Carla become close friends. Elliot is driven by a neurotic desire to prove her abilities to her family (in which all of the males are doctors Donald Faison portrays Christopher Turk (seasons 1–9), J.D.'s best friend and surgeon, who rises from intern to Chief of Surgery as the series progresses. Turk and J.D. were roommates when they attended the College of William and Mary as well as in medical school, and the two have an extremely close relationship. Turk is highly driven and competitive while remaining always loyal. During the course of the series Turk forms a relationship with Carla; they start dating early in the series, then get married, and eventually start a family together, having two children. In season 9 he is a teacher at Winston University while continuing his duties as Chief of Surgery. Neil Flynn portrays the "Janitor" (seasons 1–8, guest star season 9), the hospital's custodian. An incident in the pilot episode and J.D., which persists throughout the series. This tends to take the form of the Janitor pulling mean-spirited pranks on J.D., although he has shown, several times throughout the series, that he has a good side. "The Janitor's" real name is not mentioned until the season eight finale when he reveals to J.D. that he is called "Glenn Matthews". Shortly after this revelation he is addressed as and answers to "Tommy" by another member of the hospital staff, bringing his previously stated name into question. However, it was later [5] confirmed in a Facebook video by creator Bill Lawrence that the former is indeed his true name. Ken Jenkins portrays Bob Kelso (seasons 1–8, recurring season 9), Sacred Heart's Chief of Medicine for the first seven seasons, after which he teacher at Winston University. While Chief of Medicine, Kelso is seen to be cold, heartless and cruel, driven primarily by the hospital's bottom line rather than the well-being of patients. It is occasionally suggested that he has a softer side, and that his cruelty is a means of coping with the years of hard decisions. After his retirement in season 7 his relationship with staff at the hospital improves, becoming a regular at the hospital's coffee shop where he is entitled to "free muffins for life". He is married with a son and regularly comments on the poor state of his marriage and the activities of his homosexual son. In season 9, after the death of his wife, Kelso becomes a teacher at Winston University along with J.D., Dr. Cox, and Turk. John C. McGinley portrays Perry Cox (seasons 1–9), an attending physician who becomes the Chief of Medicine at Sacred Heart in season 8. J.D. considers Cox his despite the fact that Cox routinely criticizes him, belittles him, and calls him female names. Cox frequently suggests that this harsh treatment is intended as conditioning for the rigors of hospital life. On rare occasions, he expresses grudging approval and even pride at J.D.'s accomplishments, though his affection and respect for J.D. is apparent despite the infrequency of its expression. Dr. Cox is dedicated to the welfare of his patients, leading to frequent clashes with Bob Kelso. In season 9 he is seen working as a professor at Winston University while continuing his duties as Chief of Medicine. Judy Reyes portrays Carla Espinosa (seasons 1–8), the hospital's head nurse. Carla is frank, outspoken and bossy, but continually caring, acting as a mother figure to interns, supporting them and sticking up for them when they make mistakes.[6] During the course of the series Turk forms a relationship with Carla; they start dating early in the series, then get married, and eventually start a family together.

Dabney, Melina Kristine (BA/MA Film Studies) Re-mixing Old Character Tropes on Screen: Kerry Washington, Viola Davis, and the New Femininity Thesis directed by Professor Melinda Barlow While there is a substantial amount of scholarship on the depiction of African American women in film and television, this thesis exposes the new formations of African American femininity on screen. African American women have consistently resisted, challenged, submitted to, and remixed racial myths and sexual stereotypes existing in American cinema and television programming. Mainstream film and television practices significantly contribute to the reinforcement of old stereotypes in contemporary black women characters. However, based on the efforts of African American producers like Shonda Rhimes, who has attempted to insert more realistic renderings of African American women in her recent television shows, black women’s representation is undergoing yet another shift in contemporary media.

  • The Musical Number and the Sitcom
    ECHO: a music-centered journal www.echo.ucla.edu Volume 5 Issue 1 (Spring 2003) It May Look Like a Living Room…: The Musical Number and the Sitcom By Robin Stilwell Georgetown University 1. They are images firmly established in the common television consciousness of most Americans: Lucy and Ethel stuffing chocolates in their mouths and clothing as they fall hopelessly behind at a confectionary conveyor belt, a sunburned Lucy trying to model a tweed suit, Lucy getting soused on Vitameatavegemin on live television—classic slapstick moments. But what was I Love Lucy about? It was about Lucy trying to “get in the show,” meaning her husband’s nightclub act in the first instance, and, in a pinch, anything else even remotely resembling show business. In The Dick Van Dyke Show, Rob Petrie is also in show business, and though his wife, Laura, shows no real desire to “get in the show,” Mary Tyler Moore is given ample opportunity to display her not-insignificant talent for singing and dancing—as are the other cast members—usually in the Petries’ living room. The idealized family home is transformed into, or rather revealed to be, a space of display and performance. 2. These shows, two of the most enduring situation comedies (“sitcoms”) in American television history, feature musical numbers in many episodes. The musical number in television situation comedy is a perhaps surprisingly prevalent phenomenon. In her introduction to genre studies, Jane Feuer uses the example of Indians in Westerns as the sort of surface element that might belong to a genre, even though not every example of the genre might exhibit that element: not every Western has Indians, but Indians are still paradigmatic of the genre (Feuer, “Genre Study” 139).

As we begin a new year, we also celebrate the phenomenal successes of 2016. Last year, the Globe broke box office records with hits like Meteor Shower (another Steve Martin comedy) and our acclaimed productions of October Sky and Sense and Sensibility. It was also an outstanding year for philanthropy. Individual donors gave generously to support our mission, and the Globe reaped the benefit of major foundation and government support. Our Arts Engagement Department successfully launched a slate of new programs funded in part by The James Irvine Foundation’s New California Arts Fund, and the National Endowment for the Arts awarded the Globe a major grant to support new play development. In every way, 2016 was a banner year for The Old Globe. We couldn’t imagine a better way to start 2017 than Picasso at the Lapin Agile. Not only does the production mark the welcome return of writer Steve Martin to the Globe, it pairs him with his longtime collaborator—and our Erna Finci Viterbi Artistic Director—Barry Edelstein. Here, Barry shepherds an all-star cast featuring returning Globe favorites alongside talented performers making their Globe debuts. 2016 will be a tough act to top, but this show bodes well for another banner year of great theatre in Balboa Park. We hope to see you often at the Globe in the coming year! MISSION STATEMENT The mission of The Old Globe is to preserve, strengthen, and advance American theatre by: creating theatrical experiences of the highest professional standards; producing and presenting works of exceptional merit, designed to reach current and future audiences; ensuring diversity and balance in programming; providing an environment for the growth and education of theatre professionals, audiences, and the community at large.

  • How Bellamy Young of 'Scandal' Found Migraine Relief
    DECEMBER 2016/JANUARY 2017 BY MARY BOLSTER; GINA ROBERTS-GREY How Bellamy Young of ‘Scandal’ Found Migraine Relief For years, untreated migraines threatened the actress' career and well-being. She hopes that by sharing her story she can spare others a similar fate. Bellamy Young has two things in common with former First Lady and presidential candidate Melody "Mellie" Grant, the scheming, ambitious, and frequently intoxicated character she plays on the ABC drama Scandal: She's smart and has harbored a secret for years. A graduate of Yale University with degrees in English and theater, the 46-year-old North Carolina native won Celebrity Jeopardy! in 2015 and donated her $50,000 winnings to a charity that supplies blankets to animal shelters. The lifelong animal lover has participated in public service ad campaigns for the United Humane Society, and this year she was featured in "Being Vegan Keeps Me Young," a campaign sponsored by the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals. As for her secret: she endured debilitating migraines for years. "I can't remember life without them," says Young, who recalls days of being bedridden, backing out of social events, and hiding from light. And because she didn't recognize the signs of a migraine—blinding pain on the left side of her head, sensitivity to light and odors, and nausea, among others—she hid her pain and delayed seeking help or even relief. "For several years, I didn't have a word or diagnosis for what was happening. I just knew that when the pain started, I had a limited amount of time to get to a place where I could lie in complete darkness and silence until it subsided.
