I can't believe you'd never seen Scrubs. It's one of my favorite shows, right up there with Monk.
The best gag in the episode they had on the plane was:

Main character is voice-over narrating the show's intro as the camera follows him down the hall. "...you start to think of Death as just another co-worker."

He stops short, confronted by the Grim Reaper himself, and a much smaller Grim Reaper standing next to him holding a clipboard and a pen.

Reaper: "My daughter is selling Girl Scout cookies, would you like to buy some?"

Main character (nervously): "Sure, put me down for three boxes of those mint thingies."

(etc...)
