"My Making Of II: 'My Princess'" – is a nice little documentary, about 17 minutes long, that chronicles the making of the season finale. It’s a fairly comprehensive making of, seeing that it’s almost as long as a stand alone episode. It goes from a table read through of the script all the way through post-production.
Deleted Scenes and Alternate Lines are available to watch. The alternate lines are the most enjoyable to watch. You can see the stuff that didn’t make it on television, and the quite funny improve that some of the actors do.
There also a gag reel that is actually funny. Some gag reels I’ve watched recently on different DVDs give no context to what is happening. Only the filmmakers would know what that certain thing was funny. But, Scrubs goes with the tried and true form of outtakes that will have you laughing if you’re a fan of that stuff. But, alas the gag reel is just over two minutes long. Far too short for many of the hilarious mistakes that surely happened on set.
Ending Thoughts
In its seventh season Scrubs still has the ability to make us laugh and tug at our heart-strings all at the same time. While this season was shortened it still packs a lot of laughs and some thoughtful storylines for all your favorite characters.
With the move over to ABC hopefully they’ll keep the same formula that made Scrubs great, but upgrade the visual quality to the next level. I also hope that ABC doesn’t try to suck more than is needed out of this show. It’s been around a long time and while it still provides the laughs, it could end up getting old pretty fast. I hope ABC realizes that and Scrubs quits on top.
Even though this is a shortened season, and you’ll find yourself paying more than half price of a regular season, the extras really cover the rest. If you’re a fan of commentaries this set has some of the best the show has to offer.
