Scrubs: Season 05 (2006)
Theatrical Release Information | See Details About All Versions
Many more trials and many more tribulations await the staff of Sacred Heart Hospital in the fifth season of Scrubs. Carla (Judy Reyes) wants to "make a baby" with husband Turk, who exhibits enormous reluctance but finally gives in. And troubled (and troublesome) Dr. Elliot Reid (Sarah Chalke) begins her fellowship at another local hospital, only to lose her position virtually before it begins, forcing her to take extreme measures to get her old job back. J.D. continues to be tormented by Sacred Heart's taciturn Janitor (Neil Flynn), whose sociopathic behavior this season includes befriending a stray crow at work. Dr. Perry Cox (John C. McGinley) is no happier this season that J.D. insists upon treating him like a mentor and role model. This, however, is not the reason that Dr. Cox shows up to work one day drunk as a skunk, thoroughly disillusioning our hero...for a while, anyway. Standout episodes include "Her Story II" and "His Story III," which break from tradition by being narrated by Carla and The Janitor, respectively; and the Wizard of Oz-inspired 100th episode, which shows up in complete, director's-cut version on the DVD release. Among the guest stars are Cheryl Hines as Cox's born-again Christian sister Paige; Jason Bateman as a strange man with a love for cigarettes and...ostriches; Mandy Moore as the latest of J.D.'s blind dates; and, in a recurring role, Elizabeth Banks as Dr. Kim Briggs, a urologist who captures J.D.'s heart -- and who has a stunning surprise for him in the season's cliffhanger finale. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
