Scrubs: My Own American Girl Review

 


Ladies and gentlemen i'm always looking for new things to review be it an old movie or an episode of a classic TV show. Well i've once again found something new and fresh to review and it's a favourite TV show of mine since I used to watch this show all the time and so then join me as I review the episode that marked a change in appearance for one key character with the episode of Scrubs being called simply just "My Own American Girl" enjoy.

The plot of the episode is the gang have to work together to find out what is wrong with a patient all the while one of the gang makes a life changing decision. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty not that bad with this episodes plot being genuinely really quite freaking entertaining in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.  


Starring in this episode is Zach Braff as Dr. John "J.D." Dorian , Sarah Chalke as Dr. Elliot Reid and Donald Faison as Dr. Christopher Turk. Also starring in this episode is Judy Reyes as Carla Espinosa RN , John C. McGinley as Dr. Perry Cox , Ken Jenkins as Dr. Robert Kelso , Neil Flynn as Janitor , Aloma Wright as Laverne Roberts RN , Sam Lloyd as Ted Buckland, Esq. , Scott Foley as Sean Kelly , Lee Arenberg as Dr. Moyer , Sean Whalen as Laddy , Brad Koepenick as Dr. Mitchell Franks , Bonnie Perlman as Mrs. Farr and Christa Miller as Jordan Sullivan.

Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty really good. Which really shouldn't come as a surprise to absolutely anybody as all of this episodes main cast have been playing these characters for a few years at this point and so then they are of course going to turn in some really good performances in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.



For those of you that are wondering this is the episode that sees the character of Dr. Elliot Reid have a compete and total breakdown. This was something that felt oddly in character since at this point this character has been seen pretty much as a doormat due to her more privileged upbringing and so when she gets into the real world she isn't prepared for all the hardships that come with it and that comes to a head in a great sequence in this episode which sets up her character for the rest of the show in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. 


Believe it or not the makeover scene that this episode is famous for was born out of the fact that the network wanted to make actress Sarah Chalke appear to be more attractive so that they could pretty much make her the face of the show. So instead just having the character appear different at the start of the episode with no explanation given creator , writer and director of this episode Bill Lawrence decided to make it apart of her characters journey which really does work out really well in this episodes favour in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

One of the major downsides of this episode is the fact that very few of the side characters get alot of screen time. Which is a shame because it's the side characters that get alot of the episodes biggest laughs and even tho they do appear in the episodes B plot they don't effect that plot line which just makes it feel like a waste of these really funny characters and these really funny actors and actresses in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


This episode really doesn't let three of the main cast of the characters just do their thing which is understandable since they are meant to be growing as both Doctors and Nurses. However it also robs the characters of just being fun which since this is a comedy that should have been the main thing since you always want your episodes and your characters to be fun and entertaining in a comedy TV show in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Now then this episode has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly twenty minuets and fourteen seconds. Which is pretty much the bogstanderd running time for a TV sitcom such as this one and as such the episode really doesn't feel like it's on to long which is a shame because I was having such a fun time watching these characters that I hadn't seen in years and so I think that it would have helped if this episode was a tad bit longer in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


So now then since this is a comedy that means that I have to actually talk about the actual comedy that's actually featured / resented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual comedy that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty really good. With this episode being really funny and with alot of this films jokes getting a big laugh out of me and while this film does have some bad jokes in it those are in the majority and are not in the minority in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Overall this was such a good episode and it really did feel good to see these characters again since I hadn't seen an episode from this show is years and it was also a really funny episode as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now then i've talked about all of the good and as well as all of the bad things that are in this very episode in this freaking very review and as such that means that this very episode erns itself a grand old score of exactly a freaking 8.5 out of 10 from me.

Now then as for where I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review well then boys and girls and as well as ladies and gentlemen I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review from the official Scrubs fandom wiki page and Google Images. With my personally preferred website that I personally preferred to use to get the images that I personally used in this very post being the official Scrubs fandom wiki page since all of the images that are currently up and and featured / presented to us on freaking the official Scrubs fandom wiki page are all fairly freaking high in freaking quality and as well as being very fairly freaking high in definition.
