This show gleefully departs from the usual medical dramas, instead mining the laughs that come with interning at a busy and bizarre hospital. From the first day onward, J.D. Dorian (Zach Braff) and his classmates, the surgery-obsessed Chris Turk (Donald Faison) and smart-and-sassy Elliot Reid (Sarah Chalke), discover that becoming a doctor requires tons of patience, clarity and a sense of humor in this first season of the hit series.
