I've been searching for Scrubs for a while now. I don't know if it's due to the country I live or what, but I can't find the whole show to watch.

I saw they have it on Hulu, but the app itself seems like a nightmare.

As I'm writing this post, if I try to log in Hulu I get a message "Something went wrong. Please try again later."

I guess my parents pay for a delivery service here that gives us access to Disney and Star+, but I don't know for sure if Hulu is included in the package. There are so many streaming services now a days that I can't keep track of the ones I have access to anymore.

I've been thinking about going back to torrents sites and trying to get it unofficially;



You might need to go to DVD for something that old.

There are advantages to getting owned DVDs, like the fact that they can't mess with the content later. Music licensing problems are fairly common. For Scrubs Season 1 in particular, they had to change all the music around for Netflix's streamed version. The DVD version, as far as I know, has the original music.


Northern Exposure. The only why to get the untouched version and with no music cuts it's to pirate it thanks to the lobbies.

Dark Skies. It was x-files if set in the 1960s. But as it used music from the time, the classic music licenses have since expired and nobody is willing to pay enough to renew them.


Also, why in the world isn't The Twilight Zone (the one from the 50's) in the public domain? It already set up the genre, it has been exploited in TV with ads for sure for decades. Also, I think Rod Sterling is not alive since a good chunk of time, ditto with the producers. There no loss on torrenting that series. If any, it would help on sales on current sci-fi series.

You can select your country and see if it's legally available anywhere.


Scrubs is one of those shows that used licensed music heavily, so the versions available on streaming are edits that remove or replace the soundtrack.

A lot of shows have been hit by this, with even DVD releases poisoned by changes. In this case the only way to access the original works is through piracy.
