What to Remember About Scrubs Before Season 10

Scrubs began in 2001 by following three new interns at Sacred Heart: Dr. John “J.D.” Dorian, the daydreaming narrator; his best friend Chris Turk, who soon meets and falls for nurse Carla Espinosa; and Elliot Reid, whose on-again, off-again relationship with J.D.

threads through the series. Over nine seasons and 181 episodes the show balanced surreal visual humor with hospital life and the messy realities of early medical careers. Relationships drive much of the show’s momentum. Turk and Carla move from flirtation to engagement and marriage, while J.D.

and Elliot repeatedly try — and fail — to make romance stick. Dr. Perry Cox evolves from a sarcastic, abrasive mentor into a family man after reconnecting with Jordan; she and Cox have children, and Cox rises to Chief of Medicine. The Janitor’s long-running feud with J.D.
