Like many cool things, I am late to the "Scrubs party", having never seen a single episode in all of the years that it was on in first run scheduling. Lucky for me, it seems to be on many hours a day now on Comedy Central and other channels, so now I kick myself daily for not having enjoyed this show when it was in the proper sequence. I may have to invest in the DVDs to watch the correct order of this terrific show. It has everything that I love about offbeat comedic situations and characters that are truly original.
While doing my daily dose of catching up, I saw an episode in which the main character was coming to work after having a rough night of no sleep due to stress. As he passed a bench on the street, a man was strumming a guitar. That man was Colin Hay, the lead singer from "Men at work", who launches into a solo version of Overkill... "I can't get to sleep..." This was a great two and a half minutes of television, and made me a fan of the show on the spot...Read more

Scrubs is one of the wittiest shows on television. It's also one of my favorites. Unlike many shows, Scrubs is a carefully integrated show. Like life itself, minor characters reappear in episodes and not just as a cardboard-character, but as fully developed individuals with their own lives and back stories that sometimes play into the main plot of the show. Continuity is important and the writers, producers, and directors go to great lengths to maintain that. Things that happened in an episode two seasons before can have ripples two years later. Every part of the show is a part of this careful integration, including the music. The music that is used on the show isn't usually the typical type of stuff that one can hear played on pop radio stations (though there are some songs like this). Not only that, each song is carefully selected and instead of distracting from the action on the small screen the songs augment whatever is happening on screen.

CD Information Incorrect,

This CD is excellent. I listen to it quite a bit, and enjoy it very much. I bought the cd because it had the music of Colin Hay on it, who was featured in the season premiere as a wandering troubadour singing his former Men at Work hit "Overkill." This is the best song on the album, in my opinion. However, on the track list for the CD, Amazon is missing this song. It is the last song on the cd. Also - another reviewer lamented the lack of Nil Lara's "Fighting for my love" on the cd. This is confusing, as the song is, in fact, on the cd, though it is also missing from the track list. Interesting. None of this takes away from the excellent music, however. I had never heard of many of these artists before buying this cd, and I'm certainly the better for listening to their work.
