Scrubs is a very funny show on USA about a group of young doctors living, loving, and learning lessons from each other. The cast is a diverse group. The main characters are a man called J.D., his African American best friend Turk, his other best friend and sometimes girlfriend Elliot, and Turk's Dominican wife Carla. In this particular episode, "My Identity Crisis", Carla for the first time dreams in English, and begins to worry that she is losing her identity and is especially worried about this because she has a new baby daughter and she wants to pass her Dominican heritage on. But throughout the show, her friends help her to see that she is still "A proud Latin woman with an upside-down exclamation point". One of the main issues of the show is the constant clashing of her culture with her husband's, and their constant bantering is very funny because it's a reflection of a touchy subject like war, and touchy subject are often funny because they shock us.
Lawrence, Bill. "My Identity Crisis." Scrubs. USA. 15 Nov. 2007.
