The fifth season of this hit features more of the medical hilarity we have come to love with our stars Zach Braff, Sarah Chalke, Donald Faison, Judy Reyes and John C. McGinley. On top of them you get such guest stars as Mandy Moore, Jason Bateman, Nicole Sullivan, Cheryl Hines and uber-hottie Elizabeth Banks. The storyline for the majority of the show revolves a lot around Carla (Reyes) and Turk's (Faison) attempts to have a baby, Elliot's (Chalke) and J.D.'s (Braff) various relationships. J.D. gets the best of them beginning with the clumsy Julie (Mandy Moore) and finally Kim (Banks).
This season also makes the 100th episode milestone, which is celebrated on the special features with a rather lengthy special featurette. On top of that you get a load of deleted scenes and alternate lines, a group of audio commentaries, a "My 117 Episodes" featurette that looks at the first five seasons of the show and an extended cut of the 100th episode directed by Braff. Overall the extras are all right, but nothing all that special. The problem with the deleted scenes and alternate takes is that each one shows the original scene and then either what was deleted or the alternate take, it gets annoying after a while, especially if you are trying to watch them all at once.
Luckily, we don't buy these things for the special features, the show is the reason we are here and it is solid. On top of that we not only get to look at Sarah Chalke for 24 episodes as she only seems to get hotter and hotter, but we also get a peek at Mandy Moore for a couple of episodes and then Elizabeth Banks all mixed in with some of the best sitcom writing out there. "Scrubs" knows what the audience wants and it has put together a perfect cast to go along with its fantastic writing and I am not complaining. Not only should you buy season five, you should buy all five seasons right now and get ready to fork over a little more cash once seasons six and seven hit the shelves.
