There are two prominent hospital television shows that are on primetime television. These, of course, would be Scrubs and Grey's Anatomy. I refuse to count that awful show on ABC and ER has just gotten very weird in the last couple of years. Scrubs and Grey's have many differences. The main difference is that Scrubs is a great television show while Grey's Anatomy is one of the worst shows I have ever seen. There are several reasons why Scrubs is better than Grey's Anatomy. Here are just a few of those reasons.

First Reason Why Scrubs Is Better Than Grey's Anatomy: Scrubs is funny on purpose.
Whether it is Dr. Cox degrading J.D. or just J.D.'s imagination running wild again, Scrubs has laugh-out-loud humor. That is the intention of the show. When I laugh at Grey's Anatomy it is because either the storyline or acting is so poor that one cannot help but snicker. I'll take the one that makes me laugh for entertainment's sake.

Second Reason Why Scrubs Is Better Than Grey's Anatomy: Scrubs is an original television show.
A show based in a hospital that has the main character narrating? I can't imagine where Grey's got the idea for that. If blatantly ripping off Scrubs wasn't bad enough Grey's has even gone into the vault and stolen from old-school episodes of ER. A bomb strapped to a patient? I remember that ER episode. Dr. Benton had to rush out of the trauma room. It was great television. One of the main characters almost dies? I remember Dr. Carter's brush with mortality. I think he became a drug addict because of it. At least Grey's steals good ideas. The show just implements these ideas very poorly.

Golden Globes? You do realise that scrubs has won Emmys? Plus, Grey's Anatomy has stolen many songs from scrubs: eg; Closer - Josh Radin How to Save a life - The Fray More not listed. Its stupid to even compare the two. I continuously watch the two shows, but have a love for scrubs (much unlike grey's anatomy). Sometimes i find myself watching grey's and wonder why i am wasting my time with such filth. NEVER compare the two. There IS NO COMPARISON. Scrubs is originally funny, grey's anatomy is a copy of it in the dramatised version. Although - if people enjoy watching grey's - let them watch and enjoy watching what you like (scrubs).

Superdork, I think he is referring to General Hospital? I'm not sure if that's on ABC so I could be wrong.

I totally agree. Scrubs is fantastic and Grey's is just very, very bad in every way. Unoriginal and predictable, cliché drama. Cannot believe how many stupid people there have to be in this world, because everyone who is watching that just gotta be idiots.

And I meant to ask what the awful show on ABC you refuse to count is? Sometimes I'm slow.

Gay's Anatomy--now that's funny. Scrubs is one of my favorite shows, never miss an episode. I love all the people on it--gotta love the Todd too. I hate that it's had to compete with Grey's, because I knew that would affect its ratings. Grey's has gotten widely popular, though I don't know why, as I've never had the desire to watch it.

Gray's Anatomy.. More like Gay's Anatomy. That show is so bad I only watch it when hot chicks are around because they watch it. It's like laguna beach in a hospital. All they need is a Hillary Duff theme song.

I am not a viewer of Scrubs, but I am a weekly viewer of Grey's Anatomy. I watch it probably because I am too young to remember any of the older ER shows and never watch ER now. Though the show caters to women viewers, my husband really likes to watch it too. We do get a little irritated now and then but to each his own! I'll check out Scrubs one day. Great article though!

YES. I love Scrubs and I hate shows that force drama.

Scrubs is better than just about any television show, period. I freaking love the janitor.
