Scrubs vs. Grey’s Anatomy
There have been many different medical TV shows in the years. I have watched many of them because there are enjoyable to me and many other people. The two that I watch the most are actually very different in style but still are very similar in format. Scrubs and Grey’s Anatomy are both about interns and their adventures becoming doctors, however they are different in many ways. For example, Scrubs is a comedy and Grey’s Anatomy is a drama. In this paper, I plan to show you in detail how they compare and contrast.
The most obvious reason that these shows are different is the genre of the TV show. Scrubs is a laugh out loud type of comedy, where things that will never in a million years actually happen, happen in this show. Scrubs target audience is going to be different because of this as well; the target is going to be for someone with light humor mainly in my mind for teenagers to thirty-year-old men and women. Many of their jokes are very elaborate and would take more time that an intern would actually have, but it is still funny. Grey’s Anatomy is a completely different genre. It is a drama that depicts much more closely, what actually happens in a hospital, going more into detail on what actually goes on with the patients. They show the more of the sad part of medicine because; it is not followed up with a joke. Because this is not a comedy like Scrubs it allows you to see how hard it is to become a doctor and the stressful lives that they have. This is one of the reasons that I enjoying watching this show, when I want see the hardships that many of Americans live with, I watch Grey’s Anatomy. When I want a good laugh, I tone into Scrubs. This makes the audience much different as well; I think the target audience is 14 and up females. Many men end up watching the show as well because their spouses watches it and they get hooked,
