Scrubs staged a near-miraculous recovery in its seventh season; this despite the usual indifferent treatment by the network, low ratings, and a writer's strike that only allowed for 11 episodes. In this case, less was more. Scrubs regained its footing with sharper writing (Dr. Cox's signature rants are more inspired than tiresome this season, although at one point, nemesis Dr. Kelso threatens to hire an orchestra to "play him off"), more empathetic situations, and meta-fun with such "third-tier" characters as Snoop Dogg Attending (formerly Snoop Dog Intern), Dr. Beardface (pronounced "Beard-fassay"), and new squeaky-voiced intern, Josephine (Scrubs scribe Aseem Batra). Beginning with J.D. (Zach Braff) and Elliott (Sarah Chalke) coming to their senses before they can consummate that sixth season cliffhanging kiss, this season will be one of "weird crystallizing moments." Elliott will call off her upcoming nuptials to Keith. J.D. will be forced to tell Kim ("cute as a button" Elizabeth Banks), whom he impregnated after only their first date, that he does not love her. The "annoying whiny man-child," as Dr. Cox (John C. McGinley) calls him, will finally ponder whether it is time for him to grow up. Dr. Cox will admit that he is lonely without his acerbic wife (Christa Miller) and son when they go out of town. Other developments include the smitten Janitor's (Neil Flynn) initially suspect new girlfriend (can she really be named "Lady?") and on a Scrubsian sad note, Kelso (Ken Jenkins) faces forced retirement when it is revealed he is actually 65 years old. Scrubs deftly blends absurdist fantasy, flat-out silliness and dramatic, emotional moments, as in "My Number One Doctor," in which Elliott must deal with a terminal patient's suicide attempt. The season's most ambitious episode is the finale, "My Princess," a Princess Bride homage in which Dr. Cox transforms one undiagnosable patient's case into his son's bedtime story that is populated by Scrubs characters, with Elliott as a princess, Turk (Donald Faison) and Carla (Judy Reyes) as a two-headed witch, and J.D. as, you guessed it, the village idiot. The ample bonus features include audio commentary for every episode, a fun "Alternate Lines" segment that illustrates the improvisational leeway cast members enjoy, deleted scenes, bloopers, an interview with Ken Jenkins, and a behind the scenes look at the "My Princess" episode. Poised for cancellation, Scrubs got a second opinion from ABC, which picked up the series for an eighth season. That's heartening news for devoted fans who would never pull the plug. To borrow Turk's well-worn catchphrase, "That’s what I'm talkin' about." --Donald Liebenson

This season is short but great. Having said that I have to say that the series is NOT over. It is moving to ABC for season 8. I keep seeing reviews where it says series ended with season 7. Not true. It just ended its run on NBC. ABC picked it up for 18 episodes for season 8. Just had to clear that up.

I'm a long time fan of Scrubs. I own every season on DVD so far. I'm going to stick with the series till the end.
That being said, Season 7 wasn't all that good. Some episodes were great, but the low points of the season(most notably the episode that was aired as the series finale) were among the worst episodes in the entire series. A big problem with this season was with the network, rather than the show, as episodes were aired out of order, leading to continuity being all kinds of wrecked. Hopefully this is corrected for the DVD set, but there were a lot of other issues that stop this from being a great season.
 Not worth it! August 7, 2008

From what I understand, this set will only have eleven episodes to it (thanks to the strike and NBC dropping the show)! Even at the "marked down" Amazon price, this set won't be worth it. Season six had 22 episodes with a MSRP of 40 bucks and a pre-order from Amazon of 28. That means this set should have an MSRP of 20 bucks and a pre-order from Amazon of 14 (not 20). Sorry, but the "extras" in the set don't warrant the extra six bucks (or the 10 bucks MSRP). No thanks!
Here's why I'll be buying Season 7 for sure... September 6, 2008

...because with NBC constantly preempting it and showing it at different times, I think I saw maybe two episodes from this season. I never knew when it was on. So it's 11 episodes. It's still Scrubs and even bad Scrubs is better than 99% of what's on tv right now. Can't wait for season 8!
what a let down with the end of the series August 25, 2008

I love this show but when Nbc ended the show with the series finale they ended it out of order and it didnt make any sense Kelso Quit 2 episodes before the series finale then the night of the finale there he is with no explanation of why he is there. Great show but Nbc should have let it go out right. I felt no closure when this show was over.
