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

 Less episodes but still great January 9, 2009
This comedy remain one of the best, the 11 episodes instead of the usual 22-24 was disappointing..the last 2 episodes were intended to be the closing of the show so it turned to be as a meal cooked in a hurry, raw and taste-less..as a fan, i am very glad to learn that another season is yet to come.
GREAT SHOW, POOR DVD January 4, 2009
SCRUBS has remained great. But the DVD has been hard to use.
To see any of the later episodes our DVD is forcing my husband
and me to watch all the episodes that preceed it or leap through
the preceeding episodes -- which is annoying.
They did it again December 27, 2008
Another season of quality. It is not as punchy as Scrubs at its best being more caught up in storyline as the seasons progress but it is still a quality brand that continues to entertain. Viewers now have the chance to shift their focus with the characters and get as much out of Scrubs as they ever had, but in a new way. As usual, great cast, great script writing and a great show.
 Bye Bye Scrubs, almost December 22, 2008
It's Scrubs and so you know it's good. I thought this was the last season but they got a reprive from ABC.
Sad there are so little episodes December 22, 2008
There aren't many episodes in this season, but they're just as good as other seasons.
