In a world where medical shows are as watched as sitcoms, thanks to the success of shows like ER, Grey's Anatomy and House, Scrubs really is a breath of fresh air to both genres.

Still carrying the emotional weight typical of the show's setting, Scrubs manages to balance its heartbreaking moments with odd-ball comedy and a clever narrative approach to the plot.

Following the exploits of new medical intern and show narrator J.D (Zach Braff) as he navigates the trials and tribulations of his job and his relationships with the staff and patients at the hospital, Scrubs remains a perfectly unique organism when it comes to tackling the down-right traumatic (and often crushingly realistic and relatable) and the divinely silly.

Full of compelling performances from Braff, John C. McGinley, Judy Reyes and Donald Faison, and some incredibly tight and inspired writing, Scrubs has more than earned its place on this list.
