About This Quiz

From 2001 until 2010, "Scrubs" was hands down one of the funniest and best shows on television. The mix of the serious and the surreal, the slapstick and the intelligent, made it unlike any other sitcom on TV. Not to mention the great performances by a seriously talented cast. Despite how great the show was, there was plenty of doubt internally about whether it would succeed. During the first season, the creators were not sure they'd be back, and you can chalk that up to new show jitters. But by season 6, lower ratings had made them afraid they were going to be canceled as well. And then, in season 8, they were so sure they'd be done that they filmed the series finale and everything. And then the show still came back for one more season, albeit a weird one. 

If you were a hardcore fan of the show because you loved the acerbic wit of Dr. Cox or the absolutely off-the-wall way Janitor interacted with other characters, if you were down with the bromance between Turk and J.D, or if you just loved the musical stylings of Ted and his fellow singers, this is the quiz to show off your stuff.
