Scrubs staged a near-miraculous recovery in its seventh season; this despite the usual indifferent treatment by the network, low ratings, and a writer's strike that only allowed for 11 episodes. In this case, less was more. Scrubs regained its footing with sharper writing (Dr. Cox's signature rants are more inspired than tiresome this season, although at one point, nemesis Dr. Kelso threatens to hire an orchestra to "play him off"), more empathetic situations, and meta-fun with such "third-tier" characters as Snoop Dogg Attending (formerly Snoop Dog Intern), Dr. Beardface (pronounced "Beard-fassay"), and new squeaky-voiced intern, Josephine (Scrubs scribe Aseem Batra). Beginning with J.D. (Zach Braff) and Elliott (Sarah Chalke) coming to their senses before they can consummate that sixth season cliffhanging kiss, this season will be one of "weird crystallizing moments." Elliott will call off her upcoming nuptials to Keith. J.D. will be forced to tell Kim ("cute as a button" Elizabeth Banks), whom he impregnated after only their first date, that he does not love her. The "annoying whiny man-child," as Dr. Cox (John C. McGinley) calls him, will finally ponder whether it is time for him to grow up. Dr. Cox will admit that he is lonely without his acerbic wife (Christa Miller) and son when they go out of town. Other developments include the smitten Janitor's (Neil Flynn) initially suspect new girlfriend (can she really be named "Lady?") and on a Scrubsian sad note, Kelso (Ken Jenkins) faces forced retirement when it is revealed he is actually 65 years old. Scrubs deftly blends absurdist fantasy, flat-out silliness and dramatic, emotional moments, as in "My Number One Doctor," in which Elliott must deal with a terminal patient's suicide attempt. The season's most ambitious episode is the finale, "My Princess," a Princess Bride homage in which Dr. Cox transforms one undiagnosable patient's case into his son's bedtime story that is populated by Scrubs characters, with Elliott as a princess, Turk (Donald Faison) and Carla (Judy Reyes) as a two-headed witch, and J.D. as, you guessed it, the village idiot. The ample bonus features include audio commentary for every episode, a fun "Alternate Lines" segment that illustrates the improvisational leeway cast members enjoy, deleted scenes, bloopers, an interview with Ken Jenkins, and a behind the scenes look at the "My Princess" episode. Poised for cancellation, Scrubs got a second opinion from ABC, which picked up the series for an eighth season. That's heartening news for devoted fans who would never pull the plug. To borrow Turk's well-worn catchphrase, "That’s what I'm talkin' about." --Donald Liebenson

 Very funny and NOT THE END!!! September 1, 2008

This season is short but great. Having said that I have to say that the series is NOT over. It is moving to ABC for season 8. I keep seeing reviews where it says series ended with season 7. Not true. It just ended its run on NBC. ABC picked it up for 18 episodes for season 8. Just had to clear that up.
Here's why I'll be buying Season 7 for sure... September 6, 2008

...because with NBC constantly preempting it and showing it at different times, I think I saw maybe two episodes from this season. I never knew when it was on. So it's 11 episodes. It's still Scrubs and even bad Scrubs is better than 99% of what's on tv right now. Can't wait for season 8!
I've seen it, it's worth it. August 30, 2008

Like others have said, its Scrubs, and therefore its worth it. However, having already seen the whole season, I feel I can say a bit more than just "it will be" or "it won't be". There are some unforgettable and life-altering episodes in this season, though it is short, such as the birth of JD's child, and the AMAZING fairy-tale episode, just to name two. This season with its 11 episodes would be worth $50. And if they charged that, I'd still buy it in a heartbeat! Do yourself a favor, overlook the fact that its a short season, and buy it. If you don't, you'll definitely be missing out...
Happy! December 15, 2008
My order was shipped and I recieved it the next day. Great service as usual! Scrubs is my favorite show and I was so thankful it was shipped right away and in an organized manner.
Scrubs Season 7 December 21, 2008
As always, Scrubs never fails to entertain. Sadly, this season was cut basically in half by the writer's strike, so there are only 11 episodes on the two discs. They are all good episodes, especially the dream episode directed by Zach Braff. They tied up all the loose ends from last season, and made great headway for another season to come.
