In anticipation of the reboot, enjoy this re-release of our Classic Scrubs episode!

Listen up newbie, our episode on Scrubs may be the best that ever came through this dump. Miles was the first and only podcaster James and David ever met who loved this show as much as they do. And you can forget about this show being just an exceptional "sitcom". Fact of the matter is, it's an exceptional treatise on life under the sun, period. That's why people gravitated toward it, and that's why we review it. Theology-Five! We discuss several themes that run throughout the show, but these are the episodes that featured most prominently in the episode:

101 – My First Day 115 – My Bed Banter & Beyond 208 – My Fruit Cups 314 – My Screw Up 504 – My Jiggly Ball 614 – My No Good Reason 818 – My Finale
