10 Worst Scrubs Episodes

9. My Princess (Season 7 Episode 11)

Scrubs Zach Braff
NBC

Season 7 was an odd one for Scrubs because it was released right in the middle of the writers strike and nothing highlights that problem more than this episode. In this episode, Dr. Cox tells Jack a fairytale bed time story with characters from Sacred Heart.

Why it sucks: For those that are frequent listeners of Fake Doctors Real Friends, the Scrubs podcast hosted by Zach Braff and Donald Faison, you will be as sick as I am of Braff talking about the episodes he directed. Well, My Princess was one of them and if I were him, I wouldn't be so keen to admit it. Once again, the writers have attempted to tell the Scrubs story in a different way and, although it is an interesting premise, it just comes across as a new way to recycle old jokes like how J.D is obsessed with his hair and how Turk and Carla's close relationship is making them seemingly morph into one person.

What doesn't suck: The Janitor and Ted's relationship as The Giant and The Hunchback is brilliant, especially when they are talking about hollowing out villagers and turning them into kites.

I see my role at WhatCulture the same way my wife sees my role as a lover: I contribute in a very small way, my presence is barely noticeable and I’m not entirely sure if the laughter is at me or with me.
