"Scrubs" (https://www.looper.com/1016065/the-untold-truth-of-scrubs/) is a sitcom unlike any other. It's got some elements of a workplace comedy like "The Office," the strange, screwball fantasy skits of "Ally McBeal," and something entirely different that makes it stand above other dramedies (https://www.looper.com/901121/why-scrubs-fans-think-the-show-stands-above-other-dramedies/), courtesy of the talent behind the camera — creator Bill Lawrence and his team of writers — and a stellar cast in front of it, including Zach Braff, John C. McGinley, Donald Faison, and Sarah Chalke. One thing the show almost always nailed was its weaving in of interesting characters and guest stars from all levels of fame.
It's difficult to narrow down the best of the best guest stars on "Scrubs," though we should give honorable mentions to surly patient Mr. Bragin (Alan Ruck), talkative-yet-tragic EMT Denise Lemmon (Molly Shannon), thrifty hypochondriac Harvey Corman (Richard Kind), and outrageously rude pediatrician Dr. David Norris (Christopher Meloni). But there are some performances that were not only comedically on point, but which also provided the series' main cast with ample opportunities for character growth and a good stretch of their dramatic acting chops.
