If you haven’t seen Scrubs, you’re definitely missing out. Thankfully, there is no better time that right now, the 15th anniversary of the show, to start binge-watching it. Even better, every single episode is at your disposal on Netflix. It being the 15th anniversary of the show though shouldn’t be your only prerogative to watch it though. The one reason you really need—it’s spectacular!
If that’s not convincing enough, here are the reasons Scrubs is the absolute best:
1. The always amusing, continually awkward sexual tension between Elliot and JD.
Starting in the first episode, there is this constant struggle between friends, being friend-zoned, and trying to be more.
2.The janitor’s constant plots against JD. To think it all started with a penny stuck in a door.
Obviously, I can't give away this entire facet of the plot, but let's just say they have a very interesting relationship
3. The moment you realize that Dr. Cox is actually the good guy.
Though he comes off as an asshole, at the end of the day, Dr. Cox is actually an angel in disguise.
4. JD and Turk piggyback rides i.e. EAGLEESSS!
JD and Turk have an amazing friendship to say the least, and they aren't afraid to show it. Here's that proof.
5. Possibly the world’s most awkward person, Ted Buckland.
He is the hospital's lawyer and constantly worried about patients suing. It takes quite the toll on him.
6. Rowdy!
Rowdy is JD and Turk's pet dog, but he's a little different. He's taxidermied.
7. Turk and Carla’s fairytale relationship.
If there have ever been two characters more meant for each other, it has got to be Carla and Turk.
8. Todd, surgeon and resident ‘jarhead.’
Every show has to have one.
9. Dr. Cox’s stream of ever-changing nicknames for JD.
Every day Dr. Cox has some new, typically girl, name to call JD.
10. JD and Turk’s friendship.
Actually, what makes the entire show.
11. Actually, even better than their relationship on the show is the fact that they are best friends in real life.
Best friend phone cases.

Sometimes the best part of a show is knowing that the main characters are friends in real life. That's the case in real life for JD and Turk, also known as, Zach Braff and Donald Faison.
