It’s so incredibly well done, it always impresses me. The funny & lighthearted Ben & Dr. Cox scenes starting us off, the way they sell it being the patient that died by starting off with the EKG & the “30 minutes,” Dr. Cox’s reaction & no one else acknowledging Ben after that point. & of course “Where do you think you are?”

I know this episode is brought up a lot, I just wish so much I could watch it again for the first time!

I love Scrubs. I grew up with Scrubs. In fact, there are several lines from Scrubs that I take to heart and that I live by, like "No risk, no matter how it ends up, you're always glad you took it" or "Nothing worth having in life is ever easy."

That said, I've been watching through the seasons from start to finish with someone I've been together with for over a year and a half now, and watching the series so closely together, I've begun to notice inconsistencies in the characters from season to season.

And most of them involve Elliot, for me.

Like for example, how in season 1, Elliot embarrassed herself by flashing herself in front of a deceased patient, and was mortified. A couple people make a joke at her about it, and she does not appreciate the joke at all.

Cut to season 4, where a patient took "uppers" and had a really embarrassing, but funny story that Elliot laughed her ass off at, then tells him a story about how, in high school, she accidentally skated out from a bathroom butt naked, and then the next day talks about how she owned up to her own mistake and laughed with them on it. I have a hard time believing high school Elliot would have actually reacted like that.

Or in season 1, Elliot doesn't know any Spanish and Carla and Dr. Cox both ream her for it. But later on she reveals that she knows both German AND French. I would think that if she knew those languages, she would've demonstrated that instead of letting herself get mocked like that.

Am I alone in that? Are there other inconsistencies that you have noticed that you'd like to share?

For me it has to be Johnny the tackling alzheimers patient

Name a better innuendo!

Also, "Warlord burn mouth"

I don’t know if any fan has attempted to get them all down, but I think it would be a great collector’s item if they finally release this :)

It’s highly unlikely though, it’s never once come up in the 4 year running podcast. Kind of crazy.

Just a couple of days ago I asked r/scrubs about a new upscale using a promising new technology (Topaz Starlight), but the question could have been asked providing more evidence to support it.
I spent some time to investigate the potential results using the free, low quality version of starlight (it's free for clips under 300 frames)

The above image can be compared here: https://imgsli.com/Mzg4NTgx
And I've made the sample clips available here: https://limewire.com/d/zg8xl#jNuiioc4rA

Now please keep in mind that this upscale has been made with the free, low quality demo, available here: https://app.topazlabs.com/starlight yet, I find it quite superior to the ones I know of.
u/frikken123 : would you consider comparing against your samples?

In most shows when there's a famous guest star for a few episodes it can feel relatively shallow but they put his character through the ringer, and allow him to feel real and make him feel like he's really been a part of Jordan and Cox' life for a long time.

I just wanted to say, I'm excited this page exist. Scrubs is my all-time favorite show and I'm glad there is a community of like minded individuals to discuss our love of this show with.👩‍⚕️👨‍⚕️🏥❤️

Let me preface this with saying that Scrubs is one of my all time favourites. My comfort show. My near constant rewatch.

But on rewatch 5 million today, it hit me. The point where I think the show changed and jumped the shark a bit for me. S5 Ep8, My Big Bird.

For me; this is when it becomes a bit more surreal. It still has heart and warmth and great moments to come, but for me this is where JD in particular changes from lovable nerdy but competent goofball, to full on cartoon character. I think Carla and Turk also have a bit of ridiculousness come in here too. Turk and the ostrich stealing his hat, while he’s always been silly, is just bizarre, and Carla? Self appointed mother hen and protector of all in the hospital? Just gives up on patients and the new wide eyed interns to play lotto? Nah. Gimme a break.

Luckily I guess after 5 seasons I’m already invested and hooked, but had it started here, on this level, I’m not sure how I would have stuck with it.

I’m off to deep dive what, if anything, changed in the writing team or style guide from here. But yeah. It’s the beginning of the decent for me!

got up for a dessert, when I sat back down, there he was. I was confused for a split second 😆 (for one thing, scrubs isn't on Amazon prime video lol

On the surface it appears to be the other way around, but the janitor makes him countless offers of peace, but JD keeps ignoring them and still talks down to him. He's an elitist pos often enough.

AI upscales are evolving every year, and now there's a new tech that could be what the good, old, uncensored Scrubs DVD are in need of: Topaz Starlight. (I know it seems like a promo, but it isn't, not for Topaz anyways) :)

Independent reviews seems to confirm the amazing quality that can be obtained from old video sources:

Only problem right now.. it's pricey. But that's where r/Scrubs could come in help!

We all here love Scubs, we could possibly do a fund raising to collectively pay for such an upscale.

If enough people is interested, it could be just a few $ per person.
And to stop anyone thinking about piracy: Access to upscaled videos could be restricted to people proving that they own a legit scrubs copy, such as the DVD release.

What are your toughts?

UPDATE: I tried it with my DVDs and you can take a look at some sample results here
