"Scrubs," now in its fifth season and approaching episode 100, received four Emmy Award nominations in 2005, including one for Outstanding Comedy Series. Series star and narrator Zach Braff (“Garden State”) has received an Emmy nomination for Outstanding Actor in a Comedy Series and two Golden Globe nominations for his portrayal of Dr. John "J.D." Dorian.
In its debut season, “Scrubs” was nominated for two Emmy Awards and a People's Choice Award. In 2004 “Scrubs” was a winner of a prestigious Humanitas Prize; beginning in that same year, the series was nominated for three consecutive a Producers Guild Awards 2004-2006 (the 2006 Producers Guild Awards are being presented this evening, January 22). “Scrubs” focuses on the strange experiences of J.D., a medical resident, as he continues on his healing career in a surreal hospital crammed full of unpredictable staffers and patients -- where humor and tragedy can merge paths at any time.
Joining the rumpled J.D. at Sacred Heart Hospital are fellow residents Chris Turk (Donald Faison, "Remember the Titans," "Felicity") -- J.D.'s college buddy who is part of the more elite surgical group -- and the beautiful but socially awkward Elliot Reid (Sarah Chalke, "Roseanne").
Keeping a watchful eye over these young doctors are the caustic chief of medicine, Dr. Bob Kelso (Ken Jenkins, "Courage Under Fire"), the abrasive but caring Dr. Perry Cox (John C. McGinley, "Wall Street," "Platoon"), and no-nonsense nurse Carla Espinosa (Judy Reyes, "Oz"). Neil Flynn ("Magnolia") the hospital janitor, portrays J.D.'s nemesis who never seems to miss an opportunity to harass his target.
"Scrubs" is produced by Touchstone Television. Bill Lawrence ("Spin City") is the executive producer and creator.
