Scrubs: My Lunch (2006)
The best episode of season five is a prime example of what makes Scrubs so good!
This episode may hands down be the best Scrubs episode of season five. As it starts, the dialouge is fast-paced and funny, full of double-takes and clever lines. This includes some classic exchanges between Dr. Cox and J.D., a couple great Dr. Cox monolouges, and what may be the best story line The Todd has ever been involved in. Director John Michel and Writer Tad Quill (who also wrote the great season five episode "My Five Stages") deserve a lot of the credit for the quickness within this episode. However, what also makes "My Lunch" so great is that it manages to work in some excellent dramatic scenes, another factor in what makes "Scrubs" so special. In the final scene of the show, John C. McGinley delivers a performance so raw and full of pain that is further proof that his lack of an Emmy or Golden Globe nomination to this point is a crime. "My Lunch" is everything "Scrubs" should be.
