Q: What has two thumbs and doesn't give a crap?

A: Bob Kelso.



I think Scrubs is hilarious. But I never really considered how the show originated, so I did a little research.


Scrubs writers worked with several medical advisors, including doctors Jonathan Doris, Jon Turk, and Dolly Klock. Their names launched the idea for the names of the main characters: John Dorian, Chris Turk and Molly Clock.

Scrubs is produced by ABC, even though it was aired by rival broadcaster NBC.
Bill Lawrence is the show's creator, executive producer, and head writer.

Neil Goldman and Garrett Donovan have produced and written a number of episodes together. They started as writers/co-producers on the show, and have worked their way up to executive producers.

Bill Callahan is an executive producer and writer. He started on the show in season 4as co-executive producer and has since written six episodes.

Angela Nissel is supervising producer. She has written 7 episodes. She started on the show in season 2 as a staff writer.

Mike Schwartz is co-executive producer who started as a story editor. He has written 11 episodes and also has a reoccurring role in the show as Lloyd the Delivery Guy.



The television show became so popular that DVDs of each season are sold. And now there are even Scrubs podcasts, webisodes, board games, chat rooms, and soundtracks.
