  1. Pilot (Original US Airdate: Oct 2 2001 )
    This half-hour comedy from the co-creator/executive producer of "Spin City" focuses on the bizarre experiences of fresh-faced medical intern John "J.D." Dorian (Zach Braff, "The Broken Hearts Club") as he embarks on his career in a surreal hospital crammed full of unpredictable staffers and patients - where humor and tragedy can merge paths at any turn. Joining the rumpled J.D. on his first day are his college buddy, Chris Turk (Donald Faison, "Remember the Titans"), an intern with a more elite surgical group, and J.D.'s fellow medical intern, the beautiful and driven Elliott Reid (Sarah Chalke, "Roseanne"). Meanwhile, the sobering reality of patients' needs has J.D.'s head spinning and his confidence is challenged by the fatherly chief of medicine, Dr. Bob Kelso (Ken Jenkins, "Courage Under Fire"). However, with the help of the abrasive, worldly Dr. Phil Cox (John C.

Elsewhere, Elliot's (Sarah Chalke) unsociable bedside manner and attitude makes her public enemy number-one among the nurses -- especially Carla (Judy Reyes).

In addition, J.D. is even more distracted by his tempting flirtations with Elliot (Sarah Chalke) but he feels that unless he makes a more serious romantic maneuver within 48 hours, their budding relationship will be forever doomed and downgraded to merely "friends" status.
