#4 The Two-Way Mirror of SCRUBS and SEINFELD

Following SEINFELD there were lots of shows modeling the same structure of the popular sitcom. However, one that sticks out is SCRUBS; the goofy spoof on the hospital television shows. JD is the main character and has a hilarious personality to keep the audience interested. Along side JD is his trusty sidekick Turk. Although Turk is not anywhere near the same as George on SEINFELD, he still is a perfect counterpart to his best friend. Besides the funny sidekick, there is the ex love interest, Elliot. She is a resident doctor as well, and everyone always wonders if JD and Elliot will end up together in the end. Her role as the laid back ex who always seems to be embarrassing herself can be arguably compared with Elaine. Finally, there is Carla. The wife of Turk and the best friend of Elliot, she completes the group and seems to be the most sensible one. Her fiery personality makes everyone know not to mess with her, yet she's sweet enough you can go up to her for any advice. Together, these four make a funny and diverse group for the show. It is clearly seen that SCRUBS and SEINFELD have many parallels in the basic set up of each show.
