I was disappointed with this movie when I first watched. That was about ten years ago. I thought it may have been because of wrong expectations. So I thought I'd give it another chance in this marathon. This movie is boring, filled with bland characters. I just read that Eddie Murphy only did this movie to be free of his contract with Paramount. And it feels like it. He is obviously not into this movie.

The One Where It All Began: The Pilot Marathon, a review by DJ Doena

What's the show about?
The staff of the Sacred Hearts Hospital is not like other hospital staffs. The show is told from Dr. John "J.D." Dorian's point of view but includes the lives of then medical school buddy now surgeon Dr. Turk, Dr. Elliot and other doctors, nurses and even the janitor of the hospital.

"My First Day"
First day at the Sacred Hearts teaching hospital. J.D. is nervous but the he meets his new co-worker, Dr. Elliot and everything seems to turn upwards. He also believes to have found a mentor in the form of the Chief of Medicine, Dr. Kelso. If it weren't for the attending, Dr. Cox and the janitor everything would be fine.

My Opinion
There's one German TV station (Pro 7) that could easily be called Scrubs TV. Whenever they cancel another program or don't know what else to send, they air another re-run of Scrubs. I watched a few episodes but couldn't really get into. But a friend of mine (the same one who suggested Friends) told me that I should start at the beginning and he was not wrong. I had a better connection to the characters when watching the first disc but I still don't know whether I will buy further seasons. Time will tell. But what I really like is that the authors didn't forget that it played in a hospital and that (not unlike M*A*S*H) they they also showed what it's about to be a doctor.
