Scrubs: Season 3 | Rotten Tomatoes (1) Alan Sepinwall Newark Star-Ledger At its best, it was as funny as any other comedy on television, as moving as any drama. Sep 4, 2018 Full Review Scrubs: Season 3 | Rotten Tomatoes (2) Myles McNutt AV Club Bill Lawrence and his writers reject simplification at every turn... Sep 4, 2018 Full Review Scrubs: Season 3 | Rotten Tomatoes (3) William Thomas Empire Magazine As with most sitcoms entering their third season, Scrubs has now established a formula of character romances and break-ups. Rated: 4/5 Oct 18, 2017 Full Review Scrubs: Season 3 | Rotten Tomatoes (4) Jamey Codding Bullz-Eye.com The show's third season is another prime example of what makes Scrubs so compelling. It's one of the few series on television that can so delicately handle issues of love, life and loss while also pulling off an "I.P. Freely" joke Rated: 4.5/5 Oct 31, 2019 Full Review Scrubs: Season 3 | Rotten Tomatoes (5) Dustin Rowles Uproxx I think almost everyone agrees that, in a sea of amazing episodes, My Screw-Up is the best episode of the series. Sep 4, 2018 Full Review Scrubs: Season 3 | Rotten Tomatoes (6) Betsy Wallace Common Sense Media There's a bit more General Hospital in the show now than when it first premiered as an offbeat and highly original comedy. But the writing and acting are still top-notch. Rated: 4/5 Sep 4, 2018 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member Świetny humor, który dzisiaj może być uważany za rasistowski/(dowolny przedrostek)fobiczny Rated 3.5/5 Stars • Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Audience Member So good, just so good! Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Ole M One of the very, very few comedy shows the last couple of decades with actual laugh out loud moments. And the occational gut punch. Brilliant. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/12/20 Full Review Audience Member Season three of Scrubs is more of the same, which isn't necessarily a bad thing. Incredibly difficult to tell apart, season three resembles the phenomenal season two to a T, except with slightly different plot points. In this season, J.D. and Elliot are crushing on each other (what else is new), J.D. starts dating Jordan's sister Dani and Elliot dates Sean. Eventually, Elliot realizes she's in love with J.D. and leaves sean, only to discover that once he had her, J.D. didn't want her. Dr. Cox also starts crushing on Dr. Miller. Basically, this is just another flawless season of one of the best sitcoms ever made. Watch it. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Read all reviews
