Scrubs

Season 2

My Overkill

1. This is one of the few episodes to feature the "new opening" that was removed due to fan protest.
2. Colin Hays, the man singing "Overkill" in this episode, collaborated with the band Lazlo Bane on the Scrubs theme song "Superman"
3. Colin Hay, who sings the song Overkill at the start of the episode was also the lead singer of Men At Work, well known for their song Down Under.

My Nightingale

1. This is the first episode, after 11 appearances in season one, in which Sam Lloyd is credited as "Ted" and not "Lawyer."
2. The nurse who everybody says is just a little bit off, doesn't even have lenses in her glasses.

My Case Study

1. This episode features the return of the original, shorter title sequence, after fan backlash. This sequence remained the same, with the occasional, small variation until the final season's changes.
2. Before Dr. Mickhead was a regular on the show he was just an uncredited extra. In this episode you can clearly see Dr. Kelso shake the future Dr. Mickhead's hand and call him Dr. Carlson because he had not yet been named Dr. Mickhead or maybe before he was Dr. Mickhead he was known as Dr. Carlson.
3. Elliot, trying to convince Carla they have a lot in common says "we both have a hard time digesting dairy" and Carla sarcastically replies "you're right, do you wanna be my maid of honor?" Elliot later would actually be Carla's maid of honor.

My Big Mouth

1. The face-melting fantasy may be a reference to the finale of Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981).

My New Coat

1. J.D. wears a coat in this episode. Interestingly, he doesn't wear a white coat for the rest of the main series, even when he becomes an attending.

My Big Brother

1. While on rounds, Dr. Kelso asks, "can anyone tell me the dermatologic condition associated with rhinophyma?" and calls on Doug to answer. Rhinophyma is a condition where the nose gets large and "bulbous," and is caused by untreated rosacea, which makes the face red, or in other words, a large red nose. Coincidentally, Doug is wearing a fake red clown nose for Halloween.
2. When Dr. Turk is advising Dr. Wen to be 'Dr. Zen', he replies that he has done 10,000 surgeries in 15 years this means that Dr.Zen has performed 666.66 surgeries per year, fitting with the Halloween theme.
3. First appearance of Dan Dorian.
4. The answer Dr. Kelso is looking for when he asks about the dermatological condition associated with rhinophyma is untreated rosacea.

My First Step

1. The stunt doubles who performed the bungee jump scene met for the first time the day of the shoot. They eventually got married.

My Fruit Cups

1. When JD fantasies the OB/GYN girls as a sorority, their letters are Omega Beta Gamma (OBG).
2. The actress who plays Jordan (Christa Miller) is actually pregnant with her second child with Scrubs creator Bill Lawrence.
3. In online syndication, every one of the songs has been changed, likely due to royalty restrictions.
4. Even though they do a good job "blocking out" all the license plates in the series, if you look closely, they say "Drive Safely" where the name of the state usually is found, though it's in the style of the California state license plates. This is one of the ways they keep the anonymity of what state the show is suppose to be set in.
5. When Carla goes off on JD for interrupting her phone call and starts listing off issues she's dealing with, she mentions still having to go home to put out canned food for her cat. This is the first and last time the cat is mentioned.

My Lucky Day

1. The house in which JD's flashback is set, (with his dad played by John Ritter), is also the house used in Ritter's comedy 8 Simple Rules (2002).
2. This is the first episode in which the Janitor does not make an appearance.
3. The premise of this episode for JD is that he makes a rare diagnosis of necrotizing fasciitis, but just a couple episodes previously, Eliot was upset over a patient with that same diagnosis who died after she elected for surgery.
4. In this episode there is a flashback of JD and his dad where he gives JD a bicycle bell and then says he will give him different parts each year. The background set of this flashback is the 8 Simple Rules living room, which he was starring in at the time.

My Monster

My Sex Buddy

My New Old Friend

1. Title Explanation: "My New Old Friend" refers to J.D. and Elliot being friends again. Richard Kind is now the third former Spin City cast member to guest star.

My Philosophy

1. The song the cast perform at the end of the episode is Waiting for My Real Life to Begin by Colin Hay (formerly of Men at Work.) He appears a few times throughout the series as the character, Troubador.
2. Nicole Sullivan's recurring character Jill Tracy was named after actress Jill Tracy, who has also guest-starred on the show.
3. Kit Pongetti, who plays Dr. Mitchell in this episode, would later go on to play the Janitor's girlfriend Lady in seasons 7 & 8.

My Brother, My Keeper

1. In the DVD extras, the Dick Van Dyke character is fonted "Dr. Townsend". But in the episode in which Van Dyke appears, and is removed from medical rotation, the name "Dr. Townshend" is wiped from the assignment board.

His Story

1. First of several episodes told from the perspective of a character other than JD.
2. The title of the episode (His story) reflects that this episode is told from the perspective of Dr. Cox and not J.D. Most of the episodes start the title with "My" (ex. My Fruit Cups).
3. John C. McGinley and Eric Bogosian both starred in Talk Radio (1988) together.
4. First episode not to have "My" in the title.

My Karma

1. This marks the first episode in which the Janitor interacts with any main cast member other than J.D. (After harassing J.D. as usual, he tells off Turk for being with him.) The writers had originally toyed with the idea of revealing the Janitor to be a figment of J.D.'s imagination.
2. As Elliot unleashes into a fast-paced monologue explaining why she's insane to Paul, she brings up how she talks to her cat(s) - mentioning both singularly, and then plurally in the following sentence (saying they respond in her mother's voice). Elliot's cat(s) is/are never actually seen, nor mentioned before or after this episode.

My Own Private Practice Guy

My T.C.W.

1. At the end of the episode J.D. ( Zach Braff) breaks the "4th" wall by looking directly into the camera.
2. Amy Smart's character in Just Friends (2005) was also named Jamie

My Kingdom

1. In the episode, Ted's group sing a jingle to Elliot from Paul Flowers, it goes, "the best part of waking up is Elliot in your cup". Donald Faison's first TV appearance was on a Folgers Coffee advert which featured the same jingle but with the word 'Folgers' in place of 'Elliot'.
2. This is the first time we see J.D. drinking his signature drink: an appletini.
3. When Dr. Cox adds the plate to Dr. Kelso's portrait, his birth year reads 1947. In actuality, Ken Jenkins (who plays Dr. Kelso) was born in 1940.
4. A later episode features this fantasy but with the roles reversed where Turk is dressed and JD is shirtless.

My Interpretation

1. Sarah Chalke's German is actually much better than that of the two actors playing the Germans. The translations of the German sentences is pretty much accurate; Sarah Chalke's two untranslated lines are as follows: the milkmaid line is, "Good morning, would you like to milk the cows?" and the hausfrau line is, "Eat your schnitzel, or you won't get a dessert!" In the German dubbed version, the Muellers are called Olsen, they're from Denmark and speak Danish.

My Drama Queen

1. Sixth death in the series as well as the first death of a family member in this case Carla's mother.
2. When J.D. (Zach Braff) is talking to Elliot (Sarah Chalke) about not showing up at his apartment "drunk, naked and crying," the side of her drink reads "Naked."
3. This was Fred Berry's last TV credit. He passed away 6 months after this episode aired.

My Dream Job

1. Amy Smart had a guest spot the last few episodes and Ryan Reynolds stars in this episode. Soon after, in the real world, both Ryan Reynolds and Amy Smart would star in the film, "Just Friends".
2. J.D.'s social security number is 987-65-4320, and his PIN is 3674 (DORI).
