Oh, no, you can't touch this

So, in the crazy week of having my basement flood and my mom being admitted to the hospital, the only show on at 2 in the morning was Scrubs. And lo and behold, this show is so chess-tastically funny, that I decided to write about it for my blog entry.

The show centers around four friends that work at a hospital. Three of the characters are medical interns, and the other character is a friend. The show is narrated by J.D, who is 26, and trying to get through his internship. He is best friends with Turk, who is a surgical intern and later falls in love with one of the nurses, Carla. All three make friends with another intern named Elliot.

The show is crazy because it is a typical sitcom that is really predictable, but it's so hilarious that despite all it's negative points it's a good show. Also, there are some episodes that focus on deeper meanings than just making an audience laugh.

The episode I watched had to do with the interns first bout with death while on the job. This sounds like it would be a very somber episode, but it wasn't. I think it mainly has to do with the character, Dr. Cox. He is so sarcastic and crazy, that it makes you think how anyone could really work with him. But he adds to the show the necessary drama and comedic affects to make the show work.

Anyways, what I liked most about this episode was J.D's interaction with an elderly woman. The woman had cancer, but didn't want to go on further treatment. J.D tries to convince her that she should continue to live and go on treatment. He makes a list of things he feels that every person should have done before they die and reads them to her. The woman says yes to all of them and in return asks J.D if he's done any of those things, to which he replies, "no."

I liked that part in the episode the most because it made me think really hard about my own life. Like how many times do I just go through the motions and take things for granted? I think you can be physically alive, but not really live life. As cheesy as that sounded, I do not want life to pass by and regret not truly living. Who knew one episode of Scrubs could make me think all this?
