15 Best Scrubs Episodes

12. My Musical (Season 6, Episode 6)

Scrubs My Dream Job

"In musicals, there's always a happy ending..."

Musical episodes on TV are always a risky move, destined to either be a dismal failure or a magical experience. Luckily for Scrubs, My Musical is the the latter, a fun, exciting and inventive spin on the show's regular formula. From the perspective of a patient, the episode unfolds as she sees it - a Broadway musical where everyone tackles their problems through song.

It's easy to think that a musical installment to Scrubs would come across even more gimmicky than usual, but thanks to the character of Patti Miller and the brilliant musical numbers, it works wonders with the tone of the show and the episode's story. It may end on a bit of a philosophical downer, but even the abrupt and sad conclusion works with the episode. Unique, fun, exciting, My Musical is a testament to just how great Scrubs could be at remixing the sitcom set-up.
