* PlotTumor: JD at the beginning of season 9, while him beeing there is justified with him PassingTheTorch, he is way to prominent and takes importend screen time away from the new characters in need of CharacterDevelopment, only to rehash old plotlines with Turk and doctor Cox which we have seen better already and in turn also keeps these two characters from forming relationships with the new castmembers.

* TearJerker: Many episodes, ''especially'' the very last.
** The "JD's Future" montage set to Peter Gabriel's cover of The Magnetic Fields' "Book of Love".
** The scene with Carla [[spoiler: saying her parting words to Laverne]] in ''My Long Goodbye'' set to ''A Bad Dream'' by Keane.
** All of them however fall short when compared to "My Lunch" probably one of saddest episodes in Live-action series period.
--> [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RzDoqGGs1IM "Remember what you told me? The second you start blaming yourself for people's deaths... there's no coming back." "Yeah. You're right" ]]
** "My Lunch" falls short when compared to "My Screw-Up", especially once it's revealed that [[spoiler: Ben Sullivan was the patient that died earlier]].
--> [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pv894Meb9ZY "... Where do you think we are?"]]
** My Old Lady will never fails to make viewers bawl like babies.
*** My Old Lady is the only piece of film media that has ever made this troper cry.
** My Fifteen Seconds: After spending as little time as they can with Jill Tracy, J.D. and Cox realize that [[spoiler: she tried to poison herself]]. The rush to the hospital and ask her how things have [[spoiler: actually]] been going lately. The way she answers is particularly saddening.
-->[[spoiler: '''Jill Tracy:''' Actually it has, uh, (''choking up'') been a couple of rough months.]]
** In My Fallen Idol when Carla tells Dr. Cox that JD isn't coming. His reaction is slightly surprising; He's going to take a drink of his scotch but once Carla tells him the news about JD, he stops and seems sad. Considering how Cox treats JD most of the time, this is very moving and it shows you how much he cares about JD.

* ContinuityPorn: The GrandFinale. Nearly every minor character who lasted for more then one episode (and even some of the one-episode ones as well) showed up. A few of them had even died during the course of the series.



* EnsembleDarkhorse: Hooch, Laverne, Ted, Doug etc.



* FanPreferredCouple: JD/Cox is the most popular ship in the fandom, despite the fact that JD [[spoiler:and Elliot end up together]] and Dr. Cox has been in a stable relationship with his ex-wife since season 2. It's also kind of ironic because canon-wise, JD and Turk are the ones who have a lot of Ho Yay.



* FunnyAneurysmMoment: John Ritter's line in his guest-star appearance: "I'd love to go to your lecture on heart murmurs! I'm a big fan of those things!"
