Amazon.co.uk Review
Scrubs staged a near-miraculous recovery in its seventh season; this despite the usual indifferent treatment by the network, low ratings, and a writer's strike that only allowed for 11 episodes. In this case, less was more. Scrubs regained its footing with sharper writing (Dr. Cox's signature rants are more inspired than tiresome this season, although at one point, nemesis Dr. Kelso threatens to hire an orchestra to "play him off"), more empathetic situations, and meta-fun with such "third-tier" characters as Snoop Dogg Attending (formerly Snoop Dog Intern), Dr. Beardface (pronounced "Beard-fassay"), and new squeaky-voiced intern, Josephine (Scrubs scribe Aseem Batra). Beginning with J.D. (Zach Braff) and Elliott (Sarah Chalke) coming to their senses before they can consummate that sixth season cliffhanging kiss, this season will be one of "weird crystallizing moments." Elliott will call off her upcoming nuptials to Keith. J.D. will be forced to tell Kim ("cute as a button" Elizabeth Banks), whom he impregnated after only their first date, that he does not love her. The "annoying whiny man-child," as Dr. Cox (John C. McGinley) calls him, will finally ponder whether it is time for him to grow up. Dr. Cox will admit that he is lonely without his acerbic wife (Christa Miller) and son when they go out of town. Other developments include the smitten Janitor's (Neil Flynn) initially suspect new girlfriend (can she really be named "Lady?") and on a Scrubsian sad note, Kelso (Ken Jenkins) faces forced retirement when it is revealed he is actually 65 years old. Scrubs deftly blends absurdist fantasy, flat-out silliness and dramatic, emotional moments, as in "My Number One Doctor," in which Elliott must deal with a terminal patient's suicide attempt. The season's most ambitious episode is the finale, "My Princess," a Princess Bride homage in which Dr. Cox transforms one undiagnosable patient's case into his son's bedtime story that is populated by Scrubs characters, with Elliott as a princess, Turk (Donald Faison) and Carla (Judy Reyes) as a two-headed witch, and J.D. as, you guessed it, the village idiot. The ample bonus features include audio commentary for every episode, a fun "Alternate Lines" segment that illustrates the improvisational leeway cast members enjoy, deleted scenes, bloopers, an interview with Ken Jenkins, and a behind the scenes look at the "My Princess" episode. Poised for cancellation, Scrubs got a second opinion from ABC, which picked up the series for an eighth season. That's heartening news for devoted fans who would never pull the plug. To borrow Turk's well-worn catchphrase, "That’s what I'm talkin' about." --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).
Get ready for an extra dose of laughs, and enjoy every surreal moment as Scrubs hits new heights in its sensational seventh season. Elliot, Turk and Carla may be growing older but they aren’t necessarily growing up, even as career changes, family issues and love invade the quirky world of Sacred Heart. Complete with exclusive bonus features – including a behind-the-scenes look at the "fairytale" episode directed by Zach Braff, bloopers and alternate lines, this is off-the-charts entertainment you’ll want to watch over and over again.

Shortest Season Ever!,
By Marty Depolo (UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Scrubs - Season 7 [DVD] (DVD)
OK, let me 1st answer the question that's in everybody's mind: No, this is NOT the last series of 'Scrubs'. In actual fact, season 8 is supposed to the last of "modern" 'Scrubs'. The reason I say "modern" is that the cast & crew (i.e. Bill Lawrence, Zach Braff & Judy Reyes) will leave the show after S8, however the show probably continue without them (kinda turning it into 'E.R', revolving a different character each season).
S7 may be the shortest season on history (I assume) with 11 eps. the reason behind this is because of the Writer's Strike of 2007, which subsequently ended (what supposed to be the last EVER series of the show - now its extended to S8) the season. Here are the list of all 11 eps. 1) My Own Worst Enemy 2) My Hard Labor 3) My Inconvenient Truth 4) My Identity Crisis 5) My Growing Pains 6) My #1 Doctor 7) My Bad Too 8) My Manhood 9) My Dumb Luck 10) My Waste of Time 11) My Princess The only thing that I can complain about is that they didn't fix the order of the eps., cuz "My Princess" isn't supposed to be the last eps. of S7, it's supposed to go BEFORE "My Dumb Luck" (eps. 9). You see why it's irritating once you watch the last 3 eps., it just creates a continuity. Now the reason they put it in that order is becuase that's how they aired it, & NBC thought "My Princess" would be a better season finale. The quality of the show is still great, obviously the lack of eps. caused a slight lower grade (in my book) compared the previous seasons. Bonus features includes: - Making of "My Princess" eps. (17mins) - Audio commentary on all 11 eps. - Interview with Ken Jenkins (7mins) - 15 deleted scenes (14mins) - 19 alternative lines (15mins) - Bloopers (3mins) Overall, it's a nice addition to the previous 6 DVD's of the show, I say if you enjoyed the last 2 seasons, this will be a must buy for you.

Great series, but Season 7 isn't value for money compared to the previous ones,
By
This review is from: Scrubs - Season 7 [DVD] (DVD)
First things first, I absolutely love Scrubs and have the DVDs for the first six seasons. And just as things were to get even better in Season 7 (originally intended to be the last ever), unfortunately, the Writers' Strike in 2007 put paid to that. As a result, a full series of 22 or so episodes wasn't created, and only eleven episodes were eventually made.
Therefore, it feels that season 7 never gets going into a storyline that arcs across the episodes, and the writing feels very piecemeal. Nonetheless, if you are a Scrubs fan, you'll no doubt not mind that and love it still. The problem, though, is that at the time of writing, this DVD box set costs more than any of the previous series currently on sale. Given Season 7 has fewer than half the usual number of episodes in a season, doesn't seem great value for money. In the US, Season 8 is due to start soon, and I'd wager a bet that these two seasons will eventually be bundled. Therefore, I'll be waiting a while before ordering my copy. But if you're a Scrubs fan who can't bear to have a hole in your collection, I'm sure you'll be happy with your purchase!

But I'll love it til the day I die,
By
This review is from: Scrubs - Season 7 [DVD] (DVD)
Season 7 of Scrubs isn't fantastic, and I have no shame in admitting am a Scrubs fangirl. It's simply not terribly funny, barring a couple of beautiful lines (Janitor: "I don't believe in the moon; I think it's the back of the sun.") and a handful of glorious scenes (like JD making his baby son do the "I'd like to hit that" dance in the park while looking at a baby girl in a stroller...)
The problem is, the first 6 seasons are gold - Scrubs at its best is on a par with the very best tv we'll ever see; Scrubs at its middling is better than 90% of everything else on tv. So, next to that, Scrubs at its season 7 (last episode) worst is painful. I really believe that if you love something, you'll admit when it's taken a dive, because you want it to find its feet again, and you know how amazing it *really* is. So I'm admitting it: season 7 just isn't up to scratch. The writers had to contend with the strike and it can't have been easy, but what we're given is a season that starts off wonderfully, and gradually loses its shine. Case in point, the season finale is a fantasy episode where they are all transported to a medieval forest, and it's so awful I actually winced while watching it. Truth is, this isn't the Scrubs you will have fallen in love with 7 years ago, with its depending more upon gimmick than clever writing, and am so relieved there's another season in the tank, because this would have been a horrible horrible legacy to leave. I really do advise you watch the episodes online prior to buying it. If you disagree with me, that's awesome. But if not, at least when you buy it (as I plan to) you'll know what it is you're paying for and you won't be met with disappointment.
