Top Ten Scrubs Episodes - You Decide...

Just a passing comment from Gleebo, but you get all the credit for this, as I thought it would make an awesome discussion!

Name your top 10 episodes. A little description on what you loved best about each one, or a favourite scene/quote or anything like that would be nice too

I'll be back with my list soon Just wanted to get this thread opened while I thought about it!

Okay, here's my top ten And for those of you who need a few little reminders on each ep, there's and episode guide here and an episode list here.

Working in reverse order:

10. My Nickname
I really like Jill And I loved the Janitor's trying to give JD a nickname, but mostly I think I loved the JD/Carla interaction.

9. My Advice to You
The introduction of Marco Espinosa! I love his whole storyline in this ep, secretly speaking English.

8. My Big Mouth
Some excellent scenes in this ep. Loving the "When did you learn sign language? Night classes? Wait, when did *I* learn sign language?!" and when JD's face melts off from Carla's crazy!

7. My Brother, Where Art Thou?
Could never hate a Dan Dorian ep! I love the way Dan noticed how cynical the hospital had made JD. Fave line?

"Hi, Dan? Coxaroonie. Regarding the rum and coke issue, couldn't be more confused..."

6. My Best Friend's Wedding
The Turkletons! Sean's giant beard, Ted's band playing for $8 at the wedding ... Doug and Ted getting some (even if it was from Danni!), Dr Cox dressing Jordan in bed. All the makings of a classic season finale! Plus the dance stuff at the end just looked so much fun! And Todd's lack of sleeves ...

"Turk Turk Turk Turk, I can't talk to you right now, I'm at your wedding!"

5. My Office
Loving Molly. Much more than I thought I would. Especially how she couldn't find her office. And she FIXED the Todd! But mostly I love the giant amount of Doug we got in this episode!

"Together, you make one barely passable doctor. Slash labradoodle."

4. My Occurrance/My Hero
As if I could ever split these episodes apart
I don't think I really need to say much about why I love them. Sad, funny, all the best things about Scrubs in two top class episodes. Excellent guest star cast as Ben, and not just as stunt-casting either, Brendan rocked the hizzouse in the part! Especially as the quirky camera guy

3. My Clean Break
*pets it* Getting hard to separate these last few eps into which I love the most. This episode has some of my favourite, favourite lines/exchanges/scenes. Loved the Mighty Kites! And we got Doug abs, always a good thing!

WOMAN (to Jack): "Hi cutie, since you have so many balls, and too many toys can be overstimulating for an infant, Brantley here was wondering if he could borrow one to play with!"
DR COX: "Oh, that's funny, because Jack here was just wondering why the crazy lady who just spent the last hour chain smoking and talking on her cell phone while her kid ate sand would come over to two complete strangers and give them parenting advice!"
JORDAN (nodding): "Oh, oh, he also thanked me for not naming him Brantley."
DR COX: "Yeah."

But my favourite part of this ep, without a doubt...

Cox: Morning class. As residency director it is my pleasure to have both surgical and medical personnel here with us today. In fact, in this room we have enough brain power to light up a city. Not a real city, mind you, but definitely a tiny ant city whose government has recently passed a series of stringent energy conservation laws...(he continues talking but it fades out...)
Doug: (whispers to JD) Stringent what?
JD: Stringent 'up doc'. (to Turk) It's happening.
Doug: (raises hand)
Dr Cox: Yes, nervous guy?
Doug: What's 'up doc'?

...and then how long it took doug to get the joke!

2. My Friend the Doctor
I just ADORED the Janitor's personas! Nigel the Brit, Klaus, the dimwitted German (yes, I said dimwitted), or a simple, good-natured stutterer named Effram

Also putting in Neil Flynn's tiny appearance in The Fugitive was genius!!

But without a doubt, my undoubted top episode of all time ...
1. My Screw Up
because even though I hate them for killing Ben ... just ... wow. The writing and the acting were both wonderful and while I suspected from the start that Ben was going to die, the way it was written totally threw me. I didn't even notice that he wasn't really interacting with anyone else until the second time I watched it.
The part where JD put his hand on Dr Cox's shoulder at the funeral was heartbreaking. And there *were* a lot of funny bits - in fact, most of the episode had me cracking up, which made the end even more gutting! I loved the Spongebob comment ... I think it was the way Jordan shushed JD that made me giggle more than the comment itself!

I was dying when Ben jumped out and JD fell in the hedge - and when he couldn't rip the photo - "is this teflon?!" The whole buttface thing made me laugh, too - "And there she goes, Mrs Carla Buttface."

"Yeah, I know, but-" "FACE!"

Janitor: "I'll look in the dumpster."
Elliot: "We're not looking for *dead* Carla."

Cox's drunken human alarm clock was hilarious too!

But the best line, for me? A tie, between:

"YES! I am the king of Gay Chicken!!"

and

"Where do you think we are?", just for how chilling it was.



So there you go. I've done mine. Now it's your turn!

It's quite tough to choose the eps, I'm gonna have to go read some recaps before I put a final 10 together.

heh, yes, notice it took me four hours

Also, for anyone who cares, my top ten was made up of one season 2 ep, two season one eps, six season three eps and a season four ep.

I didn't realise I'd found season three so much funnier than seasons one and two until I did this!

Started to write mine up, but then I realised I definately need to think it through more thoroughly. Somehow I think "My Screw-Up" is definately going to place high on my list too

I've sent everyone away to think, instead of keeping them here to post!

That wasn't the intention!

Nice to see you back, btw Grace!

Didn't know where else to put this - I was on www.scrubs-tv.com looking at recaps to remind me of my fave episodes and I saw this - its very weird and I don't know if its ever been mentioned before, in the summary for "my own personal jesus" it say this:

Dr. Cox is definitely not in the holiday spirit when his ex-wife Jordan Sullivan (Christa Miller) returns to torture him. And his mood gets worse when he finds out that J.D. messed up the videotaping of the Wheelers baby's birth. Further adding to the situation, J.D. later finds out that Dr. Cox and Jordan once had a child of their own that later died.

Did I miss something, or is this just a little snafu? and if so are there any more? (my the writers of the episode guide were really paying attention!)

Anyway, this isn't really interesting, now I will go back and continue my fave episodes research

Maybe they accidentally added part of a snippet from an ER summary in there

Maybe it was a deleted scene. A depressing as hell - right up with the possibility of Jack dying - deleted scene!

That would explain why it was deleted, though Too depressing!

And it would change the whole Jordan/Cox dynamic, not to mention when she was pregnant with Jack it would have been brought up again...

If picking a top ten is too hard for you, how about a number one episode? Or a top three? I know once I got past five, there were so many eps competing for the 6-10 spots!
