Scrubs: The 5 Best (& 5 Worst) Episodes Of Season 1 (According To IMDb)

Scrubs is arguably the best series about doctors in television history. The first season got off to a good start but had a few hiccups throughout.

There are many reasons why Scrubs is one of the most beloved shows in television history. The series followed Dr. John Dorian and his co-workers and friends at Sacred Heart Hospital. For starters, it was so popular because it featured great characters and was consistently hilarious.

Along with the quotable lines, it also happened to be the most medically accurate series in TV history, even beating out more serious dramas. That led to some truly emotional moments for the show. Looking at the beginning, way back in 2001, these are the highs and lows of the first season, which set the stage for what Scrubs would become.

10 Worst: My Balancing Act (Episode 13) – 8.0

For the most part, season one of Scrubs was met with widespread acclaim. Even the worst episodes listed would probably be among the strongest for another series. “My Balancing Act” is right up that alley. In it, J.D. had just begun dating a new girl named Alex.

It was here that J.D. learned how difficult it can be to juggle life as a doctor constantly on call and his personal life. The subplot involving Turk and Carla wasn’t anything special. However, this episode did have a wild Carrot Top cameo.

9 Best: My First Day (Episode 1) – 8.5

Sometimes, a show just gets off to a stellar start. Scrubs was one of them. “My First Day” chronicled exactly that. The first day as a doctor for John Dorian. This installment expertly introduced Turk, Carla, Elliot, Dr. Kelso, and Dr. Cox, laying out who they’d be the entire series.

This also gave audiences their first look at the rivalry between J.D. and The Janitor. It was great to watch J.D. overcome his struggles with the easiest of tasks when he was put in a life or death situation.

8 Worst: My Tuscaloosa Heart (Episode 18) – 7.9

A few episodes are tied with a 7.9 rating and those have been ranked by the number of reviews they received on IMDb. The title “My Tuscaloosa Heart” is taken from a storyline where Turk and Elliot believe Dr. Kelso wrote and sang a song with that name.

Elsewhere, J.D. struggled with guilt after ignoring a rude patient who went on to die. Dr. Cox also attempted to make a decision on the three women who he has feelings for. It’s not a bad episode, just a forgettable one.

7 Best: My Last Day (Episode 24) – 8.7

“My Last Day” is the season one finale. It tracks the last day as interns for J.D., Turk, and Elliot before becoming residents. When they realize that they’ve become jaded in their year as interns, they get surprisingly aggressive with one of their patients.

The highlight came right at the end, though. Jordan revealed secrets about each character to their faces. That included that J.D. slept with her, that Cox was in love with Carla and Turk knew about it, that Cox was never getting the promotion he wanted, and that Elliot had feelings for J.D.

6 Worst: My Heavy Meddle (Episode 16) – 7.9

After months of dancing around it, J.D. and Elliot finally hooked up. Unfortunately, dating didn’t work for them and they broke up quickly. That led them to stop talking and Turk had to step in and help mend things between his two friends.

That led J.D. to act like the death of someone close to him didn’t affect him, even though it clearly did. Carla worked with Ted to give a coma patient their final wish, and Dr. Cox spent most of the half-hour on a rampage through anyone who came near him.

5 Best: My Hero (Episode 23) – 8.8

Usually, the penultimate episode of a season will be one of the best. That’s how it was for Scrubs season one. “My Hero” tugged on the heartstrings of viewers as it dealt with the diagnosis of fan-favorite Ben (guest star Brendan Frasier) and his leukemia.

The entire episode is an emotional roller coaster for the main storyline. In the side stories, Turk’s ego took a blow when a new surgeon started outperforming him, and J.D. grew nervous when The Janitor proved he knew a lot about him. It turns out, The Janitor was reading his diary.

4 Worst: My Own Personal Jesus (Episode 11) – 7.9

Usually, Christmas episodes rank among the best for a show. Unfortunately, that’s not the case for the first season of Scrubs. Still, “My Own Personal Jesus” was an episode filled with some serious emotional beats. And it all centered around Turk, which wasn’t often the case.

Turk proceeded to lose his faith in God as he watched a barrage of terrible tragedies come through the hospital on Christmas Eve. It took all of his friends to help him turn things around. The subplot where J.D. fails to record the bird of Dr. Cox’s friend’s baby was pretty lackluster.

3 Best: My Occurrence (Episode 22) – 9.0

You could tell that Scrubs was truly starting to hit its stride as the first season began to wrap up. This marked the first appearance of Brendan Frasier as Ben and he would forever remain the best guest star in the history of the series.

Ben came in after a nail gun injury but the doctors grew worried when the wound wouldn’t stop bleeding. J.D. was in denial about the results but ultimately had to deliver the news that Ben has leukemia. It set the stage for a major episode down the line.

2 Worst: My Sacrificial Clam (Episode 21) – 7.8

Just before hitting its best stretch of episodes to end the season, Scrubs had a hiccup with “My Sacrificial Clam.” In it, J.D. was stuck by a needle that could’ve given him Hepatitis B, so he spent the rest of the episode scared of getting sick despite working in a hospital.

The bigger storyline revolved around Elliot. She finally had a boyfriend but kept putting work in front of their relationship. While it’s not a bad plot, it’s one that had been addressed just a few episodes earlier when J.D. was dating Alex. This did have cameos from the cast of St. Elsewhere, though.

1 Best: My Old Lady (Episode 4) – 9.2

Recently, the Fake Doctors, Real Friends with Zach and Donald podcast came out. In it, Zach Braff and Donald Faison rewatch Scrubs and discuss each episode along with guest stars. They pointed out that they felt “My Old Lady” was when the show officially clicked.

This saw the three main interns deal with death for the first time. J.D. bonded with an old woman ready to die, Elliot had a patient who didn’t speak English, and Turk became friendly with his patient. The crushing blow when the episode wraps made it special.
