Just because Joss Whedon says by slder78	Jan 17th, 2006 01:47:42 AM
something should be made doesn't mean it should be made. I mean, what if he said that Angel season six should be made so that we find out what happened in the ally bringing closure to many a fan. Does that mean it shou....uh....ok maybe there are some exceptions.

Scrubs is good by ChorleyFM	Jan 17th, 2006 04:11:16 AM
Fairly standard subject title but I couldn't think fo anything else. Even if his script is balls the showrunners would have polished it up before it hit the screen. Also I hate Cheryl Hines, it is probably that she is the worst thing on Curb and I haven't seen her in anything else, but I hate her.
After Angel season 5 by Discosis	Jan 17th, 2006 04:53:58 AM
IDW is running a series of Angel comics now that promise to let fans in on the fate of their favourite non-offed) characters. ---------- And in an attempt to stay on topic, I discovered Scrubs last year, and it's certainly one of my favourite shows on the box. :)

I heard WB picked that up and then dropped it straight away. It had been pretty much in TV development Hell from the get go as I understood it.

i understand that Herc is a writer for that award-winning comedy series, 'desperate housewives'. way to throw us off the scent, huh?

Pilot was made (leaked online a while ago) quite good not outstanding, was not picked up for a series. Was shopped around no other network took a chance, now it is pretty done and dusted.
This gives me a warm feeling by John-Locke	Jan 17th, 2006 06:48:18 AM
Well done Kevin, stuff like this gives geeks hope to continue following their dreams.
What kind of crackwhore doesn't love Cheryl Hines? by MrBoinfoint	Jan 17th, 2006 07:47:02 AM
I'm glad Scrubs is back. It should move over to Thursday now that Will & Grace is finally going away.
Scrubs gets the shaft! Like most good sitcoms... by The Colonel	Jan 17th, 2006 08:19:58 AM
All the crap gets ratings and stuff like Scrubs and Arrested can hardly find a set time slot! ------------------------------ ---------Here's a theory on why: http://www.intrepidmedia.com/c olumn.asp?id=2431

It's funny because it's true. And if it's been on for a couple of years, the network pimps it to all the awards shows. It gets nominated or even wins, and the general viewing public thinks if it won an award it must be good. They start watching in herds, and the show continues ad nauseum until the actor's contracts come up for renewal for the second time and their demands outweigh their talent. So the show is cancelled, only to start up again the next season with a new cast and slightly altered premise.

Scrubs just fucking rules! by DerLanghaarige	Jan 17th, 2006 09:23:51 AM

Just hope it's better than the two from last week... by howstone	Jan 17th, 2006 10:19:06 AM
'cause those were the worst two since the show's been on. This show was too great in seasons 1-4 for it to get f---ed up now.

You knows it
yeah stop posting that article, it's not good by MiltonWaddams	Jan 17th, 2006 10:56:17 AM
the man says nothing that we haven't thought. it's like reading an article out of TV guide.
is it me... or has harry always had "like four or five different by ultragoregrind	Jan 17th, 2006 12:16:55 PM
when can we expect to see some results eh?
I hope ABC picks up Scrubs.... by Spice-Orange	Jan 17th, 2006 12:17:31 PM
because NBC is gonna kill it dead. Maybe ABC can cancel Jim or Hope and Faith?

A TV pilot for the Global Frequency was made by WB and then leaked on the Net; I'd heartily recommend you find it, get it, and see it. People's reactions have varied from moderate amusement to sharp, painful, yet futile longing for more - it's definitely worth a look, see what you make of it...
That's cool. Congrats Robie. by snowpuff	Jan 17th, 2006 06:34:16 PM

Don't mean to sound like an ass, but who the hell is John Ro by J-Dizzle	Jan 17th, 2006 07:53:16 PM
Honestly, what has he written for this aite?
Just finished watching Scrubs #98 & #99 and the verdict is: by Regenhund	Jan 17th, 2006 09:20:13 PM
#98 was way funnier than Robie's #99, but it had it's moments too. Why was #98 so good? Any time Perry's wife Jordan is there it rocks, and I liked the whole sister thing, plus it was funny about religion without being insulting, but mostly it was the Angry Sex. Oh, and the return of Bajingo. #99 was average Scrubs funny, which is still a hell of a lot funnier than most network crap, but the whole silly/introspective balance was too heavy on the Lesson Of The Week. "Watch out for colon darts" was pretty good, though. And the fruit basket.
I loved #99. Good Work! #98 gave the most shallow view of Christ by Mahaloth	Jan 17th, 2006 10:42:24 PM

Excellent work. by Archduke_Chocula	Jan 17th, 2006 11:06:24 PM
BUSEY!
99 Was Weakest Scrubs This Season by Sean38	Jan 18th, 2006 07:43:12 AM
But even a weak Scrubs is better than 99% of the other comedies on TV. So not too shabby.
They were both awesome. by Shigeru	Jan 18th, 2006 09:36:25 AM
I was pleasantly surprised at the handling of the Christian aspect of 98, and 99 was worth it just for the Indiana Jones and Turk chugging the slushie!
Scrubs ? Best comedy on TV ... by Itchy	Jan 18th, 2006 09:38:53 AM
and I love The Office and Earl, but this show is the most miserably mistreated show on network TV since Freaks & Geeks and Undeclared. It is absolutely unique, and just a marvelous example of how to mix a tight comedic plot with absurd abstractia. And to be honest, I love the back-to-back episode technqiue ... I Tivo them and watch them right before Lost on Wednesdays. Perfect counterpoint.
Best comedy onTV by AlwaysThere	Jan 18th, 2006 04:00:20 PM
Just caught up with the last 4 episodes and I seriously love this show.
Glad to see Scrubs back, it's as funny as ever. by minderbinder	Jan 19th, 2006 07:41:50 AM
Wonder when they'll put Scrubs on iTunes along with the office...
