Have you seen the TV show "Scrubs"? It has won both an Emmy Award and Peabody Award. The show has been airing on network TV, since the fall of 2001. It continues a history of quality TV shows based on employment in the medical field. Interestingly, the comedy-drama is not named after a particular physician in the show, as other shows about the medical field, are. Instead, the title "Scrubs" refers to the common attire of medical personnel. Still, "Scrubs" is not the only TV show in which you can spot people wearing scrubs, such as cheap landau scrubs:

1. MASH (1972-1983)

The TV series MASH includes scrub-clad surgeons in the Korean War. MASH is a comedy-drama about surgeons who are stationed in South Korea. The show was extremely popular during its original run, with its final episode earning more than 105 million viewers-a TV history record!
