On Scrubs’ Gayness

Michael Ricci has an interesting piece up on AfterElton.com about the gay innuendo on Scrubs, and its extremely close relationship between its lead male characters, best friends J.D. (Zach Braff) and Turk (Donald Faison). It’s a pretty interesting read for socio-cultural shoegazers like myself, and included in the bit are plenty of quotes from interviews with show creator Bill Lawrence and Robert Maschio, who plays hornball surgeon “The Todd.” The gist of the piece is that Scrubs is one of the gayest shows on television, despite not having a regular or recurring gay homosexual character.
