Like many sitcoms, Scrubs allowed its characters to grow and change as the show progressed, but one episode in particular marked a massive turning point in how the audience would perceive a long-standing character going forward. As well as all the doctors in Scrubs, the sitcom also had characters who weren’t responsible for healing people. This gave the show an extra dimension that would have been lost if it had only ever revolved around doctors, surgeons, and nurses. This decision also allowed characters from various backgrounds to shine.
