Scrubs (stylized as [scrubs]) is an American medical sitcom created by Bill Lawrence. The series follows the lives of employees at the fictional Sacred Heart Hospital, which is a teaching hospital. The title is a play on surgical scrubs and a term for a low-ranking person because at the beginning of the series, most of the main characters are medical interns.

The series is noted for its fast-paced slapstick and surreal vignettes presented mostly as the daydreams of the central character and narrator, John "J.D." Dorian, played by Zach Braff. The main cast for seasons one through eight consisted of Braff, Sarah Chalke, Donald Faison, Ken Jenkins, John C. McGinley, and Judy Reyes. Recurring cast member Neil Flynn joined the main cast in season two. The series featured multiple guest appearances by film actors, such as Brendan Fraser, Heather Graham, Michael J. Fox, and Colin Farrell.
