Editorial Review:
Get ready for one wacky house call with the hilarious third season of SCRUBS. It's a whole new year for the staff of Sacred Heart as Elliot undergoes a complete makeover in an attempt to change her luck, and the residents discover the incredible healing powers of an epiphany toilet. Joining J.D. and the gang are a host of hysterical guest stars, including Tom Cavanagh (ED), Tara Reid (AMERICAN PIE), and the legendary Michael J. Fox -- "One of our all-time favorite comedy actors returns to the small screen ... on one of our all-time favorite shows," raves Entertainment Weekly. Bursting with highly contagious bonus features and featuring the show's original unedited music in 5.1 Surround Sound, SCRUBS' complete third season is just what the doctor ordered.
Description of Scrubs - The Complete Third Season:
Not content to rest on the solid pratfalls that made it famous, Scrubs stretched its legs in season three to give deeper insight into its characters. With Turk and Carla (Donald Faison and Judy Reyes) planning their season-finale wedding, J.D. (Zach Braff) once again wrestles with his feelings for fellow resident Elliot (Sarah Chalke), but her reciprocity leads to a startling revelation. Scrubs also lent numerous guest stars to its cause, including former Spin City castmates Richard Kind as a hypochondriac, Barry Bostwick as a cancer patient, and Michael J. Fox in a hilarious return to television as an obsessive-compulsive visiting surgeon. Scott Foley (Felicity) plays Elliot's devoted suitor, and Tara Reid's turn as Dr. Cox (John C. McGinley)'s sister-in-law starts out daffy and decomposes into parody. (Producers admit in episode commentary that they tried to cast Reid against type, then gave up a few episodes later and told her to just be her wild, party-going self.) But it's two returning guest stars that pack the most emotional wallop: Mad TV's Nicole Sullivan as a chirpy patient whose barely masked troubles are ignored by her doctors; and Brendan Fraser as Dr. Cox's cancer-stricken brother-in-law, Ben. Fraser's episode, entitled "My Screw Up," does a masterful job turning from comedy to tearjerker on a dime in one half-hour. It's one of the best episodes of the show's entire run, and a crime that McGinley wasn't recognized for his brilliant work.
Two episode commentaries, featuring producers, writers, and Faison, aren't as fun as in past seasons (though referring to Braff as "Chicken Little," the character he voiced in Disney's much-maligned animated film, is a notable jab). But the DVD set stuffs in way too many featurettes, including one just devoted to the stars' dogs. One complaint: The animated navigation menu takes way too long getting to the special features, it's tempting to skip them altogether. Better to just hit "play" and re-watch the episodes again. --Ellen A. Kim
Scrubs - The Complete Third Season Reviews:
Scrubs 
2009-10-17 - Shrink wrapped, shipped on time, excellent service! And just a side note - it's cheaper to buy the Scrubs' seasons individually from Amazon rather than from someone selling them as a complete set! Amazon ships them all as one order, so it's great!
Great season
2009-10-07 - Not much i can say different about this season then the others. just another great season. Love this show. I also don't want to tell you too much about it. i mean if anyone actually reads all these then why even watch the show. a must have in any DVD collection
One of the best Scrubs seasons....
2009-09-30 - Overall, one of the best seasons of Scrubs that has been made.
Funny, at times touching, this show was the comedy giant in its early years.
Scrubs was a Great Show! Catch up on DVD
2009-04-25 - I am sad to see Scrubs jump the shark the way it has, but am happy to have watched it from the beginning. The DVD seasons allowed me to catch up on episodes I had missed.
Scrubs Season 3
2009-04-07 - Most of my favorite episodes on this season. I still can't figure out where the commentary is on it though.
