Parents guide

Talk of sex, but never shown.

Some moderately strong sexual references, usually implied and not explicit.

One of the characters is a sex addict; he puts up many sexual jokes and double meanings, usually in every episode.

Some sexual situations, though nudity isn't shown.

Sometimes men are seen shirtless and women are shown in their underwear.

Medical gore, some bloody, but not graphic.

Occasional slapstick-style comedy.

J.D's fantasies can sometimes be a little gory or graphic (e.g. blood squirting out of a severed arm), although it is always for comedic effect. (These scenes are very rare)

Infrequent uses of "hell", "bitch", and "damn"

Numerous sexual references, dialogues, and jokes.

Usage of drugs, smoking, and excessive alcohol intake are presented alongside the potential consequences.

During almost each episode, the main characters meet at a bar and drink plenty.

One episode in season one called My Old Lady focuses on the plot of JD carring for an elderly woman who has a DNR ( do not recessitate request) it is a very emotionally intense episode and it may be difficult to watch if you have a loved one who is aging or has terminal illness.

Scrubs is not graphic in any way but some people who find surgery disturbing might be unsettled by some scenes.

As this series is set in a hospital, plenty of patients die, suffer, or have a terminal disease, and certain episodes are very sad and depressing.
