The 8th Season of Scrubs was the first to air on ABC, as a mid-season replacement. This was following 7 successful seasons of the show on NBC. ***

The show has been wildly successful since it debuted so many seasons ago (has it been this long already?) For those of you not familiar with the series, it follows a group of friends working together in a hospital, who must face not only the trials of their various patients, but also the drama of everyday life. Scrubs isn’t an “always serious” medical drama like ER, nor is it always a “laugh out loud” slapstick-laden experience. It’s just the right balance of drama and comedy, which is one of the reason s it has lasted so long. ***

This 3-disc set contains every episode from the show’s 8th season. Although only a DVD set of this season is being released on 8/25/09, a Blu-Ray version of the season is slated for a November release, so if you have a Blu-Ray player, you may want to hold off until then. ---

Image and Sound:

As a recent TV series, Scrubs looks and sounds pretty good on home video. The image is bright and clear, and doesn’t suffer from any major negative issues. Audio is, naturally, front-heavy and the dialogue always audible and easy to understand.

By the time most shows hit Season 8, studios have usually run out of bonus material. Not the case with Scrubs. There’s a nice, small assortment of bonus material presented here, including outtakes, alternate lines, bloopers, Webisodes of the series, and even a question and answer session. It’s not a massive collection of bonuses, but for a TV series such as this, it’s more than enough.
