"Why does the Janitor hate him, they've had no interactions" Also "Did you put a penny in there? If I find a penny in there I'm coming for you"

The Janitor is probably one of my favorite characters! Range of emotions in the series is everything....sad, happy, mad, everything

"Poor JD." Yeah, you'll be saying that a lot. Also "JD, what the *censored* is wrong with you!"

Keep up the reactions, Dr. Crystal, it's really entertaining! You can remember Episode 1, when the janitor checks that something stuck on the hospital door, JD guesses that it's a penny and he was right, so the Janitor assumed that JD did that, because his answer was roo specific. Anyway, expect more hilarious scenes between the two!

Important to note that with the "sweetheart" thing, he was also being very condescending to the men, calling them "sport". I think it's more that those types of older men talk to young adults like children. But with young women, it's easily perceived as creepy

Why the Janitor dislikes JD was answered in the first episode of season 1. The janitor tried to fix a broken door and JD made the remark "maybe someone put a penny in there" to make a conversation. The Janitor took it the wrong way and replied "if i find a penny in there...you better be watching out" And at the end of the episode, he did find a penny in there and waved it towards JD with the line "im watching you"

Scrubs is SOO good, so many great characters and fantastic writing. So many episodes bounce effortlessly between funny and sad and back again. As the episodes progress, you see more and more of the depth of the characters, especially Dr. Cox, who starts off not particularly easy to read, his character arc is really, really good.

The Janitor was originally only going to be in the first episode as a one-off character. but everyone loved him so much they made him a full time member of the cast. The actor who played him, Neil Flynn, is such an amazing improv actor that MOST of the time, the writers would just write *[Whatever Neil Says]* in the script and let him make it up on the fly.

The Janitor doesn't like JD because he suspects him of putting a penny in the door he was fixing in EP 1.

Ted is one of the mvps of the show. Hes the laywer. Also RIP Sam Lloyd.

well, I'm done and i enjoyed your reaction video. You were paying attention and providing interesting sidebars plus communicating your theories and hopes about how the episode would go so we could ride along and experience the show again like the first time. For me, it's much better than simply watching an episode again. I guess you'll be covering about two seasons a year. I suggest a collab with dr hope when you get big enough. You both have similar sincerity and friendliness. Plus you might be able to justify going to europe with your s.o. as a business trip. best of luck.

You know you like Scrubs when you almost always sing along the "I'm no Superman" line hahaha

Scrubs has 169 Episodes in 8 Seasons. So feel free to binge as you please - just upload the reactions afterwards as well. You could do an episode daily and they would still last for around a half year. With your current speed it takes lots of years to get through the series 😅 PS: Whoever might claims there would be 9 seasons of scrubs is clearly no fan of the show.

Yaaaaas! Just in time for "Just one video then bed" :D Haven't watched yet, but excited to see you react to this!

If I remember correctly the Janitor thinks JD put a penny in a door and thats why he hates him

Yay! I was so excited to see a notification for this! I was worried you stopped! I am definitely here for this. Great job as usual!

I love that you’re getting into the storytelling style of the show and J.D.’s diversions in his head. This is going to be so much fun!

"I hope they are getting together" Oh boy how little she knows :D

For the first season and a half they were careful to make sure that the Janitor didn't interact with anyone else but JD. Initially he was supposed to be a figment of JDs imagination. If the show had been cancelled after the first season, this was going to be revealed in the finale. Love your work Dr Crystal. You bring such joy and enthusiasm, and your reactions are so great to watch. Can't wait to see the next one

LMAO - the O.R. music scene. I'm loving these reactions! So good!

I consider myself a real tv show junkie, so I have seen A LOT of different shows. And still, after all these years, Scrubs is still my #1 favorite. I never thought that drama and comedy could ever go hand in hand like that (there's even a term for that - "Dramedy"), until Scrubs came along and proved me otherwise. I have never seen any other show/movie that put me on an emotional rollercoaster like Scrubs did. It literally makes me laugh and cry, sometimes at the same time even. I'm looking forward to your upcoming reactions!

In all my years of having surgeries, I can undoubtedly say that surgeons do listen to music. I was given the chance on my recent surgery to pick the music, and I told him 'Brittney Spears' thinking they'll laugh, and they turned it to 11 before putting me under. Music helps concentration, and they probably changes it while I was under, but that's alright. Seeing a surgeon sing 'Oops I did it again' before going under was the funniest thing I've ever seen.

So glad you're doing this! I've probably watched the series a dozen times, but it's really fun getting to watch along with you, both becauseof your insight and because it kind of brings back the feeling of getting to watch for the first time myself. Can't wait to watch more!

i love scrubs, my doctor friends have said that it is the most accurate show about the lives of hospital workers, and i really enjoy watching a doctor break it down

I am sooo here for this

Thanks for another awesome reaction!!! For the question in the description... the more of the show the better, I have seen others with the highly edited versions, and some post up the full unedited version. I like the level you have now, more would be better for me because ya know... more Scrubs, but I know the full episode isn't for everyone. Also The Janitor was only written to be an figment of JDs imagination if it hadn't been renewed for a 2nd season, but they were renewed and Neil Flynn was SO funny, so they kept him and made it so he was real. But that's why The Janitor only really interacts with JD in this season with very few exceptions.

The Janitor originally was supposed to be a figment of JD's imagination and insecurity, that's why he didn't have a name and didn't have any interactions with other characters. But the creator loved Neil Flynn's interactions with other characters and his comedic timing works off on everybody.

Something to note is that Janitor was originally planned to be a character that only JD can see. If you watch carefully, he only interacts with JD for all of Season 1. Once they knew the show wasn't going to be cancelled, Janitor became a character that others could see.

In the first episode JD and the Janitor have an interaction where the Janitor finds a Penny that jammed the automatic door and blames JD for it. ALSO the Janitor was supposed to be a 1 off character that existed only in JDs mind but Neal Flynn was so funny and popular they kept him on as a regular and scrapped the figment of JDs imagination plan. If you pay attention, in season 1, the only person who actually talks to or interacts with the Janitor is JD.

Stoked you’re doing this. I haven’t watched scrubs in years, but it’s one of my all time favourite shows. It’s so much more than a “doctor show”. Watching it with you is like seeing it for the first time all over again. Janitor and Dr Cox are two of my favourite characters from any TV show.

You should watch it on Amazon video for a smoother viewing, and also It’d be cool if you paused it after the chief asks the residents questions to see if you can get the answers. These videos are great cause it’s a great show that the people that love it, also love to rewatch it thru new eyes and the fact that you are in the career means you’ll have a deeper instant appreciation for the little things. Super cool your doing this and the longer the videos the better.

Hell yeah! Always loving Scrub content. Will suscribe for futher episodes. Watched the series when it first aired with my best buddy and will never not sit down and rewatch if I stumble on it somewhere. Timeless TV classic!

Love this series! I especially can't wait until you react to the Brendan Frasier and Michael J Fox episodes. This show seriously utilizes guest stars amazingly.

Man it's been so long since I watched Scrubs I forgot how hilarious it was. Such a good show. Great reaction

Honestly, I like both ... you're commentary and the show. I'd say do what you think is best. It's entertaining and educational for us non-medical types. Keep up the good work!

Enjoyed this one again! Like I am watching it with you! Looking forward to the next one. And all your other videos, as always! 😘

This will go down as my favorite reaction series ever because it’s one of my favorite shows of all time, but also because I truly love your feedback and excitement for this show. PLEASE keep this going!!!

Zach Braff and Donald Faison (The actors who play JD and Turk) have a podcast called "Fake Doctors, Real Friends".

The main thing I like about Dr. Crystal is she gives her opinion succinctly and moves on. So many commentators on here drag out these videos with endless commentary. I prefer video snacks over 5 course dinners.

This was a good amount of the show to include. I know the risk is copyright strikes though but it's nice to catch and there's so much good stuff in Scrubs. Kelso definitely has his flaws (all of the characters do) but there are episodes in later seasons that delve a bit deeper into Kelso, what he's like behind the facade and why does what he does. Similarly, JD is a really kind guy but he also has some major personality flaws which will come back to bite him in the butt again and again.

It's probably been mentioned before, but initially the Janitor was intended to be a figment of JD's imagination, which is why during the first season JD is the only one who interacts with him. However because of how funny Neil Flynn is, they kept him around and made him a real person. ...As real as an insane janitor can be.

The reason the Janitor hates JD is (sorta) setup in episode 1, which I know was a while ago for Dr. Crystal. But the short story is: The automatic front door was jammed by a penny and JD made a comment correctly guessing this problem. The Janitor therefor think's that J.D. knew about it because he was the perpetrator. At least that is explanation we have been given up to this point.

There’s seriously not enough scrubs reactions on youtube! Keep it up!

The reason the janitor dislikes JD is actually explained right at the beginning during their first meeting. JD made an innocent comment that, through sheer cosmic coincidence, convinced the janitor that he played a prank on him.

I don't know if it's just me, but sweetheart has always been a very endearing term in my family. My grandfather was from Oklahoma. Very old fashioned and gentlemanly. He called everyone he had a deep fondness for "sweetheart". He also used it with strangers, to some extent, but only when he was being very polite. He is basically saying "you have a sweet heart" or "kind heart". Now I am worried that my grandfather was offending a bunch of people and didn't realize it. I really really hope not!

When I was recently in the hospital, the nurses would use my room for breaks. My roommate was catatonic and they didn't give a toot about me being there. There would literally be 3 or 4 nurses sitting in the corner of my room complaining about things and smoking out the window. This is how I know they make 9 dollars an hour, as they were in my room complaining about it to each other A LOT.

in the pilot, the janitor was supposed to be a figment of JD's imagination, but by the end of season 1 everyone liked him so much they kept him lol

Really enjoying the series! Hope you keep it up! Scrubs is a great show and most doctors/nurses seem to agree that despite some innaccuracies for drama purposes, they really capture the spirit of working at a hospital well. Long as you stay motivated.

JD put a penny in the door so the Janitor had to fix it. That was the start of it all.

Kelso said: "atta boy, sport" to a grown men, no big deal "that is right, sweetheart" to a grown woman, sexist... how? he used condesending terms used for little kids to both of them, but it's a problem only in case of Eliot?

I watched various doctors' reactions to the pilot episode, and yours was one of the two that I had the most fun watching! Thanks for your insightful commentary :D

Janitor hates JD because he thinks JD jammed the door with a penny in the first episode. He was also supposed to be a figment of JD's imagination, but became so popular they turned him into a real character.

I'm so stoked to see you watch this series

omg i had no idea :D this is so hilarious and awesome...if i ever ever need surgery i hope the surgeon listens to "smooth operator" XD

Great video! Episode 4 is a very memorable one and gets a lot of praise from fans so already looking forward to your next react.

Janitor hates JD because of their interaction in the first episode. JD's waiting for someone while Janitor's trying to fix a door that's stuck open. JD suggest maybe there's a penny in there. Janitor questions why a penny, and asks if JD put a penny in there. "If I find a penny in there, I'm taking you down." At the end of the episode, JD walks by Janitor, who's holding a penny.

Oh, this show is awesome. People call it a comedy, which it is, but it explores a lot of situatons and emotions. It deals with grief, self-doubt, relationships, death, pettiness, honor, friendships, and so much more. You're in for an awesome ride! EDIT: My wife and I have watched it through at least a dozen times. There are a few standout episodes that are really meaningful.

Me when Doctor Crystal doesn't upload a reaction of Scrubs for a few days : "I miss it so much it hurts sometimes"

This is the exact thing I've been waiting for since the series started, a professional review! Thank you for getting into my decade long wish. As a note, with the angeoadema, I would've though dyes first since it looks like it's only on the lips. I'm an electrician though

You'll be happy to know that eventually Elliot flips the power dynamic into her favor and no one on this show has any power over her.

In the first episode a door was jammed and the janitor was fixing it, and JD guessed that it might have been a penny jammed in the door. The janitor said that if it turned out it was a penny, he'd be blaming JD and they would be enemies. It was a penny.

I can‘t wait for this series to continue

The janitor hates JD because something happened in the first episode. First the janitor tried to fix a door. JD was joking that maybe something put a penny in the door (i don't know how to say it in english) and the janitor accused him of manipulating it, threatening if he would find a penny that he would make JD's life miserable. At the end of that episode JD passed the janitor who looked pretty grim and held a penny.

The Janitor hates JD because he knows JD lied about putting a penny in the door. JD accidently drops a penny in the door in episode 1, explains that maybe someone put a penny in the door, then the Janitor asks if he did it, and JD says no. That's when the "hate" begins, the Janitor doesn't really hate him, he doesn't choose his victims, his victims choose him.

Super excited to find this! I love scrubs and always wanted to know if the med stuff was accurate at all

Gained a new subscriber. I watch this series at least once a year. I’ve seen other doctor reacts but the fact you are going through the series makes me happy. Will be anxiously awaiting the next one!

I really enjoyed the way Dr. Wen's eyes sparkled with amusement after seeing Turk's reaction to the music. He just had to rub it in :D

JD sabotaged the side door to the Hospital by putting a penny into the door track. The Janitor had to spend several hours trying to fix it and JD came by and taunted him.

I really look forward to watching the rest of the series with you. Scrubs is the best! Let's up the upload rate!

YESSS YOU'RE WATCHING IT ALLL?! Subscribed!

Apparently the Janitor was going to be a figment of JD's imagination. If you pay attention during the first season, JD is the only person to interact with the Janitor.

Love your reaction! If you get around to season 4, that's my favorite.

Just leaving a comment for the algorithm. Loving your commentary, your sincerity and your enjoyment of the series.

Please make more of this!! I love this how and I love your medical and nonmedical comments 💖

hoo ray! Got the notice since im subscribed. clicked in a heart beat! And apparently I am still not tired of seeing Turk and the doctor argue over Erasure. I laughed out loud and have a big grin on my face. I was watching see when it clicked for you since the drama was so high.

"dr.Cox - pretty chill guy".

There is an episode where a new character is introduced, and in that intro she appears and turn the xray around and tells that its always bothered her that it is in the wrong way :D

Turk waiting for the Todd to leave because he was embarrassed to say he closed is an example of the little doctor easter eggs I came for. I’ve seen the series countless times but never understood that. Even tho it’s goofy scrubs was advised by a real doctor named Jonathan Doris aka JD, a college friend of the writer and creator Bill Lawrence

“They’re still besties” 👀👀👀

To answer the question about why the janitor hates JD, to this I say, 🎶 "It all started with a penny in a door.." 🎶

I miss it so much it hurts sometimes! Uhumm... i meen... wished you uploaded more.

4:50 It was said at the start jd with the janitor about the penny rolling into the door. He said if he finds a penny he hunting him down

You doctors are so critical, my gosh it's a comedy.

We had the opposite issue wrt modesty in the hospital. My wife is an extremely modest person (rarely even wears shorts and won't wear a bathing suit without a pair of shorts and a rash-guard type t-shirt over it). When our daughter was born, she got very annoyed that every time she tried to nurse her, someone would come in (this was a c-section, so we were there 3 days). The lactation consultants really annoyed her with this. I've worked in the aerospace industry for 26 years. I've attended many Foreign Object Elimination conferences (having foreign objects in aircraft have brought them down, even something as small as a pebble so we take it very seriously). One of the conferences I went to, one of the keynote speakers was saying that he had tried to work with surgeons to implement some of our practices in OR's with little success. I've heard that some hospitals have started adopting them, but I never understood why having a shadowboxed tool set, a chit system, consumable accountability, etc. was so onerous to surgeons. It seemed that if leaving something in someone's body is a big deal, they would jump at the chance to reduce the chances of having something like that happening (I don't know the numbers, but I heard that a significant percentage of medical mistakes are items being left in bodies during surgery).

do the entire series...well stop after season 8 hahah. thanks for your videos!

The reason the janitor does not like JD was because he was originally supposed to be a figment of JDs imagination. They talk about it in the podcast with the creator of the show Bill Lawrence. It is a bit loose as it does not seem to be well represented, but if it was the idea it was scrapped fairly quick. But yea, he was supposed to be the internalized fear and anxiety of JD

the janitor thing is cause the janitor thinks he placed a penny in the door his first day it's in the first episode bit pretty subtle

14:00 - You just described every guy who has ever walked into a men's locker room at a gym and get blindsided by old dudes butt naked and socializing.

Janitor hates JD because he broke the door the first day and he spent all the day to fix it

To the sweetheart thing - yeh i understand how it can make someone uncomfortable. Issue on my station is that, like Carla in this show, theres also a lot of female coworkers who appreciate that and like things that can get you in trouble with others. So if you are new to a station, id recommend observing how things are there before you say something, cause if you do you might ruin it for everyone else and than everyone hates you. Read the room. sometimes a "sweetheart" is meant as honest appreciation and aknowledgement and not as sexist demeaning term. Im btw a male nurse in a country where "nurse" is always female (grammaticly) and i regularely see patients brains melt when they see a male hospital worker and it aint a doctor. I guess my favorite patient was an elderly guy who just started calling me "Master" XD

Thank you for reacting to one of my favorite series. Maybe you can hire an editor so you can upload more often if you want. And yes, your reactions are reaching europe 🙂. Greetings from Germany 👍🙏❤️

You can totally record two of these back to back and just release the vids on diff days. We need more!

I'd be psyched if I were having surgery and they started playing Erasure before I went under.

Something to keep in mind regarding the sweetheart stuff this was set around 20 years ago. A much different time.

the words "Love, Darling and Sweetheart" get thrown around alot in the UK. Never seen it as a bad thing before. I always say thanks or cheers love to women at shops when they serve me and thanks or cheers mate/dude to guys.

The Janitor doesn't like JD because his first day there he broke a door that the Janitor had to fix and JD lied about it. And it wouldn't have lasted long but JD has this habit of constantly screwing things up that negatively effect the janitor.

As a doctor you have to know how immensely destructive sleep deprivation is. Not only to yourself overall but also for your performance and ability to retain and learn. If pretty much anyone in the field knows this so well, why does a work environment persist that facilitates errors, a bad lifestyle and health disadvantages?

Interesting fact if it was only going to be one season the janitor was going to be in his imagination. He also went for the roll of doctor cox can u imagine anyone else as doctor cox 🤷😂

The janitor thinks jd put a penny in a sliding door that the janitor had to fix. This was at the very beginning of episode 1

I know how you watch the episodes now lol, I did the same. The split into 5 parts with the commercials is dreadful. Why doesn’t you watch 4 episodes at a time? You can then split them to show every Monday. It’s let’s you binge watch and already have content
