Amazon.co.uk Review
"I'm gonna have a good year, aren't I?" J.D. (Zach Braff), now an attending physician at Sacred Heart Hospital, asks in the fifth season's opening episode. All vital signs are good (the series did receive an Emmy nomination for Outstanding Comedy), but longtime Scrubs fans may be forgiven a sense of déjà vu, from J.D.'s whimsical reveries to Dr. Cox's (John C. McGinley) increasingly tiresome rants. The series itself acknowledges the palpable sense of been there, seen that with the clever episode "Déjà vu, Déjà vu." But don't pronounce Scrubs dead just yet. Directed by Braff, "My Way Home," the series' 100th episode, is a brilliantly conceived homage to The Wizard of Oz with J.D. and company finding their hearts, brains, and courage. Another powerful episode that shows a welcome maturity is "My Lunch," in which J.D. at last has lunch with his reluctant mentor, Dr. Cox, in the wake of a patient's death (happily, the music rights were secured for the DVD release so that the Fray's "How to Save a Life" is playing on the soundtrack when Dr. Cox has his own tragic setback), and the follow-up episode, "My Fallen Idol."

While Scrubs has a tendency this season to get "more ridiculous" (in one episode, Neil Flynn's Janitor defies Ken Jenkins' Dr. Kelso to secretly keep a crow in the hospital), the scalpel-sharp writing affords Braff moments that are, in his character's own words, "classic Dorian." In the episode "My Half Acre," he mixes his sports analogies to tell Elliot (Sarah Chalke), "What's waiting for me in my room is what's known, in football terms, as a slam dunk," as he mimes hitting a tennis ball. Mandy Moore, displaying a surprising knack for physical comedy, follows Tara Reid and Heather Graham as a fleeting love interest for J.D. Other character milestones include pregnancies for Carla (Judy Reyes) and two other characters best left a surprise. Good for whatever ails season 5 are this set's extras, including an entertaining series retrospective, featuring interviews with the cast and creators, as well as commentary by Braff for an extended cut of "My Way Home." --Donald Liebenson

Synopsis
With its deft combination of humour and heart, this single-camera sitcom is a both a critical and cult favourite. SCRUBS stars Zach Braff as J.D., an eager doctor at Sacred Heart Hospital. With J.D. as its narrator, the show frequently dips into surrealism as it shows his strange thoughts and daydreams. The rest of the characters on SCRUBS are equally eccentric: best friend Turk (Donald Faison), bossy nurse Carla (Judy Reyes), J.D.'s reluctant mentor Dr. Cox (John C. McGinley), the anxiety-ridden ex-girlfriend Elliot (Sarah Chalke), and J.D.'s arch nemesis, known simply as ‘Janitor’ (Neil Flynn). With guest stars such as Jason Bateman and Cheryl Hines, the fifth season earned an Emmy nod for Best Comedy Series. This series also includes the show's 100th episode, a crafty homage to THE WIZARD OF OZ.

5.0 out of 5 stars Not the Best Season, but compared to other TV Shows. It Rocks!, 13 April 2007
By C. Swan "Swan Lake" (London, England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Scrubs: The Complete Fifth Series comes to DVD, contagious with extras including an extended cut of the 10th episode and a behind scenes look at the 5 years at Sacred Heart. As the gang enter their fifth year with the changes they made in conclusion to series 4, they find out just how scary change is, as JD begins his life on his own, and Elliot begins her fellowship, while Turk and Carla start their road to becoming a family.

Series 5 enters with a sollection of ultimate episodes including the 100th, My Way Home, directed by Zach Braff, His Story III - following the life of the Janitor and Her Story II following Carla and of course, the evr so talked about, My Lunch (which includes directors commentary).

If that's not enough, then come meet some of the short term residents including Billy Dee Williams (Star Wars), Mandy Moore, Elizabeth Banks & Jason Bateman.

You'll be a fool not to own this DVD!

But of course there is some negative points about the series, which includes the unfortunate arrival of the "stoner humour" which slowly turns Scrubs from an original show, to a typical sitcom. But this is Scrubs, and of course they still dodge that bullet to making the "stoner humour" into Scrubs humour.

5.0 out of 5 stars Welcome back Scrubs, 18 Sep 2007
By Andrew Kerr (Scotland) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
Well it looks like I've been proved wrong (but in the best way possible.) When I reviewed Scrubs Series four on the 12th October 2006, I commented that the saga seemed to be losing its shine and I was anxious to see where Scrubs goes from here. However now that I've finally purchased the complete fifth season on DVD (yes I know that series six is coming out soon - I'm a little behind) and watched every episode over the weekend, I have to say WOW! My faith in Scrubs has been entirely restored as the fifth series is just amazing. Each episode is just unbelievably comical and includes some more series stories throughout. Episode twenty when Dr Cox looses three transplant patients through no fault of his own is probably one of the best or even the best Scrubs episode ever. By the end of it I had tears in my eyes. Not to forget the kung-fu fight sequence with Turk and 'The Todd.' Which was nothing short of breath taking. Guest stars in this season are Jason Bateman and Cheryl Hines, combine this with a never before seen extended cut of the 100th episode makes Scrubs The Complete Fifth Series a must own.

4.0 out of 5 stars Not the best season, but still worth adding to the collection., 19 Jul 2007
By R. Took (England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Another entertaining season of Scrubs! I'll get my humble opinion out of the way first, before I get down to the facts: I tend to find this season is leaning more towards the comedy now, and away from the drama. Don't get me wrong, the drama is still there, especially in the heart-wrenching conclusion to "My Lunch" which provides the cue for Dr Cox's fall from grace, but there seems to be a little too much slapstick for my taste. This change of direction is mentioned in the bonus features, which I will come to next.

The season 5 DVDs come with very little in the way of bonus features. There are the standard commentaries, deleted scenes and alternate lines, and an extended version of the 100th episode, but other than that there is only a 17-minute long feature entitled "My 117 Episodes: 5 Seasons of Scrubs".

A little underwhelming, but that won't stop me from watching it over and over again. Worth the money.
