One of the best moments on TV PERIOD.

0:50. The way he tries to put on that smile for JD.

The way McGinley's face changes after the line "Where do you think we are" is magnificent. It doesn't show surprise, exactly... it shows the shedding of denial, which is similar to surprise, but not the same. And the sad, heartbreaking half-smile he has for just a split second as he turns away from where Ben's ghost was is exquisite... a look that says, "Oh... right...", and expresses acceptance and despair in a single moment. Marvelous.

McGinley should have won at least one award during this show's run if for nothing else at least for this episode.

Sometimes I wish that I could see this scene again as I did the first time... It was so emotional en overwhelming.. after the last shot... I was just left me speechless and stared at a black screen for a few minutes. Deeply impressed. This is just one of the many scene's that made scrubs so special. The laughter, and the tears just a few min's apart from each other. Great show!

Zach & Donald's podcast made me go look this song up again. Fake Doctors, Real Friends. Such a poignant moment.

Simultaneously the saddest and most brilliant moment of the entire series. All the episodes with Brandon Fraser are classics.

The build-up to this scene covered three previous episodes, as Dr. Cox grew to see Ben (Brendan Fraser), his brother-in-law, as the closest to an equal that he’d ever had. When Ben's leukemia gets worse, Dr. Cox has a harder time dealing with it than expected. He goes into a form of denial, still seeing Ben at the cemetery, talking to him as if he were still alive. When he notices Ben’s not carrying the camera he swore he’d have ‘till the day he died, and J.D. arrives to interrupt his dialogue, the truth hits home that he’s actually at Ben’s funeral. An amazing scene, revealing both the depth of loss people feel in real life, as well as a fascinating look at the way people avoid dealing with that loss. Combining all that with such a powerful tune as Joshua Radin’s “Winter” was a stroke of genius. This episode was nominated for the Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Writing in a Comedy Series, and it should have won.

I remember when I first watched this episode, and I got to the end and went, wait, what the hell just happened?! And I rewatched from about the point where doctor cox realized where he was (about 00:50) and went, oh... It still didn't really hit me completely until I rewatched it later. Just perfectly shows the state of mind of someone in that situation. Major props to the shoe here

@@ryanc473 I wholeheartedly agree. The first time I saw that scene, it literally gave me chills. To realize Brendan Fraser's magnificently goofy character, the perfect balance for Cox' unrelenting bullying and cynicism, was gone, just gone! And we the audience, we feel that loss more than any single-episode character I can ever remember watching. That may have been the best character Fraser ever plays, and it really affected a lot of people, I believe, who'd never dealt honestly with the difficulties of losing someone close to them.

I remember being moved by this scene and really appreciating it when I first saw it years ago, but it didn't completely destroy me or anything. Watched it with my sister today as she's watching Scrubs for the first time, and I started tearing up as soon as the song started. Really powerful.

I watched this years ago, and rather recently added the song to my music-collection. Almost each time it comes on I tear up. Now I finally know why.

I love how JD can be so serious sometimes when he asks, 'Where do you think we are?'. Usually I laugh at everything he says. But I still love how he can get serious when he has to. This was an amazing episode, I loved it. Best show ever. :]

it has been more than a decade, but I still feel emotional each time I see this part.

Even though watched this scene a couple of times, it still makes me cry...

2019 still get chills from this scene.

Straight to the feels everytime, no matter how many years go by. Had to re-watch this scene after listening to Zach and Donald's new podcast, Fake doctors, Real friends, can't help the emotions bursting through. The show had a great impact on me growing up, feels good to listen to ZD again after all these years:)

After all these years I still instantly burst into tears. This was so heartbreaking.

One of the most obvious details is that Ben didn't have his camera with him and it totally flew over my head because It's just weird seeing Dr. Cox being chatty with someone.

Joshua Radin is a collage friend of Zach. Joshua wasen't famous or anything from the start. He singed some at home, and then once when Zach was invited to play JD in scrubs, he said to Joshua that he should record a song and then Zach could give the song to the producer of Scrubs, and few weeks after it was in Scrubs. And then he become famous. My english is really bad. But u could check the whole story out on google or youtube. Thanks.

Eine Serie/ Folge für die Ewigkeit. 20 Jahre später immer noch so emotional und wunderschön geschrieben. Danke an das gesamte Team.

One of the most subtle but powerful moments is at 0:37 when Ben smiles when Dr. Cox looks at him, and then drops it the second he looks away. He looks so sad there, like he realizes that’s whats about to happen next is going to destroy his friend.

Saddest moment in sitcom history… “where do you think we are?”, then “winter” kicks in… gut punch…

i just love the moments where J.D. and Dr. Cox are serious together. They are the best, make me cry almost every time. It really shows how strong actors they are that they can be complete goofs all the time and then get so serious.

best scene, best music, best everything

Truly the only GOOD show left on television. Expert writing, acting, use of camera work, and most importantly characters. This episode is the finest moment on Scrubs, because although they are an incredibly funny show, at this moment, they took a very serious moment to touch on something that we rarely get to see shows do. They teach us that life doesn't last forever, even on a medical show, and we should cherish every second with friends, because once they're gone...

Winter by Joshua Radin just became my song for everything. Happier than I could ever wish to see him finally this spring in Swiss. Just a 500km drive from Germany.

the best episode of the 7 seasons i saw, and my favorite tv show

Awesome show, once in a lifetime

i never ever cry at films or TV shows, but this moment sticks a lump down my throat so big i can't talk for half an hour without breaking my favourite moment of TV, scrubs is the best show i know

thank you, whoever posted this. i have not cried in 8 years. i was 13. I love this song, and this show. thank you, Zach.

god i havent watched this show in years but this one little clip still kill me.

saw this scene today for the first time, I didn't know what was going on so when jd said "Where do you think you are" this shiver ran down my spine

THE WAY JD PUTS HIS HAND ON HIS SHOULDER GETS ME EVERY TIME

one of the most emotional scenes in scrubs history....thats what makes this series so great!!!

John C Nails it, the guy conveys such a range of emotions so well, he sucks you into the moment, that coupled with superb writting really does make this a weepy 1... God i miss this show...

this is why i love scrubs. on the surface it is this goofy, satirical show about doctors in a hospital, but given the oportunity, the show does SO good with drama.

subtle music in the background (barely noticeable), sudden realisation that Ben's dead and the music comes through louder and more noticeable. So sad and so perfect. Love Scrubs so much

So sad ... I think it's the best saddest moment of the episodes ... Feelings of Josh Radin for this song are just amazing

I have chills lol scrubs is my life guidence... there is literally an episode for everything and every situation

So many feels

When I showed this episode to my mom a few years ago, she didn't understand why I told her it was the best episode ever. When the revelation that Ben is dead, she looks at me, tears down her face, literally hysterical because she didn't see it coming. Then she watched the episode, picked up on the clues, and proclaimed that I might be onto something with Scrubs. Just thought I should share that with the KZread community.

Beautiful.. Loved this episode...

I used to watch Scrubs every single day, but I kind of grew out of it. Well, there was a marathon the other day and I remembered how much I love it. This episode was on, and I remember how I couldn't understand exactly what had happened the first time I watched it. It's truly an amazing episode.

This is the best episode of Scrubs IMO.

This episode is one of the best scrubs episodes ever, also it was the first time i heard joshua radin. Great song

yea this was his first song on scrubs!!!! josh radin was a huge request by fans of scrubs after this debut in 2004 with this song truly one of the most touching moments in scrubs

beautiful piece of work

could not agree more.. this shows his acting at his best because every here or cried shows the impact of his class acting! SCRUBS

not a lot of songs can make a man tear up. but this one does it. i've been through loss and it's like this song palys in the background :(

2 of THE most emotional episodes! scrubs id amazin at changin from funny to sad... this song makes this moment!

I always cry when I see this episode. The acting in this scene is amazing.

And JD is so smart in his suit... When he just says "when do you think we are ?"... Such a class !

This is such a beautifully powerful scene, that really shows how much better Scrubs is to anything like it.

We all loved Ben. We loved him for being a goof, for being Perry's best friend, but still standing up for JD. When he dies, you truly feel like youve lost someone.

Scrubs...what a great show. I´ve cried both happy and sad tears. This episode is amazing...but if you do as I did and watch the other episode (which I think was on tv one season before this one) where Ben is diagnosed leukemia you will really feel this conexion with the character that makes you feel you are watching one of the best shows ever. Thank you Scrubs

bless this show... bless this song... bless you all my children

My brother died of a brain haemorrhage in 2004 and my younger brother advised I watched Scrubs to cheer me up. It did. And then I watched this episode. I fell to the floor and sobbed. As now.

it makes me cry - so sad, so touching and thoughtful!

100% agreed. This scene completely broke me. It still does, every single time I watch it.

this is by far the best final scene to be shot in any television show bar none.well done scrubs

thank you. great moment...awesome

Seriously, I cannot believe how well McGinley conveys so many emotions in just a few seconds. It's the best acting I've ever seen on television.

fantastic...i will never forget the first time i saw this episode...goose bumps!

The moment he understands...nearly broke my heart.

To this day, there hasn't been an epic reality hit on a beloved, respected character.... Somehow, because it was Dr. Cox, this hit SOOOOO much harder than it should have.

ive done a lot of work analyising episodes and stuff, and this is by far the best episode of any show.

Just hits me every single time i watch this scene...damn, i sure do miss this serie. In the end of the day.....
