At its best, it was as funny as any other comedy on television, as moving as any drama. Go to Full Review Myles McNutt AV Club 09/04/2018

As with most sitcoms entering their third season, Scrubs has now established a formula of character romances and break-ups. Go to Full Review Jamey Codding Bullz-Eye.com 10/31/2019
4.5/5
The show's third season is another prime example of what makes Scrubs so compelling. It's one of the few series on television that can so delicately handle issues of love, life and loss while also pulling off an "I.P. Freely" joke Go to Full Review Dustin Rowles Uproxx 09/04/2018
I think almost everyone agrees that, in a sea of amazing episodes, My Screw-Up is the best episode of the series. Go to Full Review Betsy Wallace Common Sense Media 09/04/2018
4/5
There's a bit more General Hospital in the show now than when it first premiered as an offbeat and highly original comedy. But the writing and acting are still top-notch. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Krzysztof P 08/20/2022 Świetny humor, który dzisiaj może być uważany za rasistowski/(dowolny przedrostek)fobiczny See more 06/04/2021 So good, just so good! See more 05/14/2014 Season three of Scrubs is more of the same, which isn't necessarily a bad thing. Incredibly difficult to tell apart, season three resembles the phenomenal season two to a T, except with slightly different plot points. In this season, J.D. and Elliot are crushing on each other (what else is new), J.D. starts dating Jordan's sister Dani and Elliot dates Sean. Eventually, Elliot realizes she's in love with J.D. and leaves sean, only to discover that once he had her, J.D. didn't want her. Dr. Cox also starts crushing on Dr. Miller. Basically, this is just another flawless season of one of the best sitcoms ever made. Watch it. See more Read all reviews
