Scrubs deserves be tossed around and under appreciated by the networks. Why? It is not funny! Erratic scene changes, weird camera angels, and the main characters highly expressive, (and ugly) visage, not to mention his annoying voice overs, are simply not enough to make
Scrubs an even slightly funny TV show.Its dialog is incredibly dry,and for a show that takes place mostly in a hospital there is noticeably too little medical dialog; which in turn causes the show to lack reality. This is not to say that the show should go all out with its medical dialog, as was the case in TV shows E.R, and Chicago hope, after all they were dramas and
Scrubs is suppose to be a comedy.
I think there is a way to create a,for lack of a better term, "Hospital Comedy",and
Scrubs is a perfect example of how
not to do it.
So what is funny?
