SCRUBS Season 6

[The Foreigner]

Okay, season premiere tonight. Minor spoilers ahead.

Pretty good episode. It actually took me a minute to figure out each of the patients were the other actors in makeup-- And I was a little disapointed when they had the special effects fade reveal that gave it away. I would have preferred to see them leave it a little more vague.

Also, I thought a lot of the jokes fell flat (The opening sequence with JD in Vegas seemed oddly out of place for being "real" and not a fantasy-- It also wasn't that funny), but other sections made me laugh out loud. Particuarly each time Kelso showed up (His exchange with the janitor about being a man in a jump suit was classic).

Still, a fairly strong season opener. I'm curious to see what's gonna happen with JD's as of yet unborn child-- He's still quite an imature jerk after 5 years, so I'm wondering where he'll end up by the end of the series.

[DrewTheXenocide]

Huh. I only noticed the same-actor thing for the Janitor. I didn't see it in Dr.Cox's patient, and I just thought JD's was just a really ugly chick.

[wingsofdamnation]

crap i must of missed it. i set a timer for it but it never recorded. do you know if theres going to be any reruns?

[CaptainAwesome]

I was very happy with it. Now thursday is the best night for TV. NBC has the greatest block if comedy ever created.

The episode itself was good, but not one of the best. If this is the last season its seems to be going out with a BANG!

[The Foreigner]

Good hell, is nobody watching this show? Thursday's episode was GREAT. It had me laughing out loud (Kelso calling Jack's shirt gay was hysterical), and integrated the dramatic moments beautifully (The scene where Turk presents his baby to everyone in the lobby was lovely).

I'm really curious where the JD/Kim story is going to go.

[Loren]

I was a little let down by the season premiere, and was worried that the show might have somehow lost its spark over the break.

But the second episode cured me of any such concerns. Hilarious all the way through.

Agreed. This second episode would have made a better premiere, to be honest.

[Loren]

It's the season's hottest YouTube video:

"My Charlie Brown Christmas," performed by the cast of Scrubs (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=20Of_mna-Rs)

This isn't a homemade video, either, cobbled together with audio clips. Rather, it was apparently created for the Scrubs Christmas party a couple of years back.

And for more Scrubs goodness, from the upcoming musical episode: Scrubs: "Guy Love" (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GF6rSGfUdyg).

[moon knight]

Last week's episode was really funny. I liked that there was a small marching band throughout the episode.

[stealthwise]

Great season so far. I too found the second episode to be better than the premiere, but this show's basically hit its stride and likely won't get much better or worse. That's fine though, as it's still at "A" level quality, but I did think that the first season was the best.

[Mac Danny]

Awesome episode. Talking Jesus was funny!

"You know what.. 22 Fries.. you didn't think I'd do it did you Miguel"

[LordEd1976]

I liked the last episode. My favorite scene was the banana nut muffin puppet.

and now my interesting thing to think about moment for the day

so the mommy of JD's kid has been offered a job in Tacoma, Washington. Anyone smell an exit strategy for Zach Braff?

It was nice to see Doug again. That shirt actually works for him.

Good point. He has said this will be his last season on the show.

[Loren]

One reason I wasn't crazy about the season premiere was that a lot of stuff seemed to come out of nowhere. J.D. suddenly had a pregnant girlfriend that I'd never seen before, and Jordan was inexplicably pregnant too. It felt like I'd missed something.

The other day, I discovered that I *had* missed something. Namely, the last two episodes of last season, which aired back-to-back. I wish I could remember how I missed that night, but fortunately, I found 'em online. And now all is right with the world again.

[Deathstroke]

Last night's episode drew 7.82 million viewers, that's up 500,000 from last week.

Next Thursday, the 18th, is the Scrubs musical episode (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GF6rSGfUdyg).

I can't wait. After previewing "Guy Love" a couple weeks back, I think it's going to be really sweet! Can't wait to see what they have John McGinley do.

[The Foreigner]

I thought this episode was the best so far this season.

Cox and Janitors "hideout" storyline, although admittedly over the top, was hilarious. I loved the development of the JD/Cox/Elliot/Private Practice storyline, and Turk and Carla's baby story is just lovely. Jordan's brief scenes were very funny (I loved her stomping down the hall). And the final moment with JD telling Kim he misses her? So great. The guy is finally starting to mature.

Musical next week. Good mother I'm excited.

Speaking of John MG has he won an Emmy yet?

If not it is a damn shame as his Dr.Cox is an amazing piece of work and his rants alone warrent at least a nod. I have no idea how he does it.

[Ilash]

I don't even think he had been nominated. Absurd, I know and if anything shows how idiotic the Emmy's are it's this.

Great season so far but hey, it's Scrubs and the show hasn't let me down yet so I don't see why it should start now. One thing though Dr Cox and the Janitor? Comedy gold!

[The Foreigner]

Agreed on McGinley deserving an Emmy for his Cox role. It's remarkable to see a character so well defined, down to the subtlest gesture.

This is one of my favorite shows but I'm a bit disappointed in the performance of Zach Braff this season. I just feel like he's making too many "Cosby faces" after the punchlines and it really annoys me.

Totally Agree!

Each season he has gotten stranger and more like a cartoon. He really needs to stop it as he is not really funny but comes across as someone that is trying way to hard to be funny.

[Lord of Denial]

Man that ep ruled!

The poo song is the funniest thing I have seen on TV in years.

And informative.

[Davideaux]

I think what keeps McGinley from getting an Emmy is that he's kinda only known for one thing: the rants.

I've seen him deliver more heartfelt and less bitter speeches on the show. But the rant to no-rant ratio with him is really high and may cause people to think he's a one-note character sadly.

[West Mantooth]

Loved the "Guy Love" song.

Also, after seeing Elizabeth Banks again, I think she would have made the perfect Sue Storm in FF movie.

[The Foreigner]

My Musical was friggin' brilliant.

The Poo song had me tearing up with laughter. The big "Sacred Heart" opener was awesome as well. Loved the Cox/Janitor song about JD. Loved the subtle musical parodies (A "Grease" song, a "Les Miserables" song, a "Rent" song...). The whole thing was just a joy to behold.

This season, which started out fairly weak, is definately shaping up into something great.

I don't usually watch this show, but I watched the musical episode and really enjoyed it. My favorite songs were "Guy Love," "Friends Forever," and "Everthing's Okay." Does anyone know how much of the cast sang their own parts? If they all did, they're really good, but there were a few I wasn't sure about... Like the janitor and the bald guy. The blond girl's voice wasn't that great, but luckily she didn't have too many singing parts. I really enjoyed Carla's jazzy voice and many of the other character really shone in their voices as well.

Everybody sang their own material. I think the Janitor's voice might have been tweaked a bit at the end of his solo (to make it more full-sounding), but Donald Faison is simply a good singer and dancer. (Some Faison trivia: his younger brother plays 'Miles' on Sesame Street.)

Elliot (the blond doctor) is more or less tone deaf, and she admits in the online commentary that her few lines are the result of some good voice coaching and a voice machine.

[the goddamn batman]

The first 3 seasons of Scrubs were the best. Period. After that it got a little more ridiculous.

Scrubs was certainly nominated (if it didn't win, which I think it did) for the episode with Brendan Frasier in season 3. The best episode that show has ever done. A prime example of John's acting ability and the shows ability to turn on a dime from comedy to drama.

Season 4 had some great moments and was far better than season 5. Season 6 has been ok so far. And while the musical episode ( I hate musicals) wasn't all bad, it's my least favorite.

I dunno about Zach leaving the show, but everyone else has said they'd glady be back if asked.

I think JD has changed over the last few seasons. Season 5's (?) opener being a great example. He's mre of an arrogant jerk in the last few seasons, and less of a caring girly guy. Well, they play the girly guy thing up more and more... which just get's more ridiculous with each season.

I do think the show has lost a lot of what made it great. IT still manages to ahve those moments. Most of which are on par with the fisrt few seasons, it's just that those moments seem to be less and less, while things like JD in Vegas with the gay guys seem to show up more and more.

Sure, it's a funny show, but it was that ability to turn on a dime from comedy to drama that really made it stand out. I know that's what John always liked about it, and he's mentioned that it's most likely a large part of peoples attraction to the show in the first place. I know that's what I liked about it.

My biggest gripe with season 6 is the episode where JD admits he's jealous of Elliotts new private practice job. Dr. Cox raants about why her new job makes her a lesser doctor, and it's in line with he and JD's characters, but then at the end, JD and Dr. Cox (with that subtle shrug and groan) admits it too. Which I thought completely sells out the moral fiber of the character. Being doctors who care about their patients and recognise the importaance of what they do, I thought the "Gee, I wish I got paid more for less" really sucked.

Anyway, rant, rant, rant... it's only tv, I don't care that much. But, I do like this show a lot. But I've enjoyed it less and less with each season.

sorry for spelling errors, but I've only got moment.:)

I actually really enjoyed season four, partially because they finally moved past the JD/Elliot relationship for good (Although I wasn't a big fan of Kylie, JD's black girlfriend for about 4 episodes). Season four was the first season I got on DVD, so I may be a tad biased towards it, having watched those episodes more than any other.

Regardless, I'd agree that season 5 is the weakest.

The thing with the marching band was a little weird as well. Those types of things would normally be fantasies in the first few seasons, which is odd; but I'm willing to go along with it.

Yeah, I thought that was weird too. I loved Cox's "selling out" speech, but at the end of the episode, I was confused as I wasn't sure who I was supposed to be rooting for.

I was talking about the bald white guy who wore a suit and started the "We're gonna miss you, Carla" song.

The bald guy (Ted, the hospital's legal council) has been singing on the show since, what, season 1? The guys he was singing with are his staff acapella group. I think they started off just with cartoon theme songs, and they'll have a new theme for a while. I think they're great.

[the goddamn batman]

Season four was the first season I got on DVD, so I may be a tad biased towards it, having watched those episodes more than any other.

Don't get me wrong, I love season 4. The first eps I saw was the start of season 2, the one where Colin Hay (from Met at Work) follows JD around playing guitar the whole episode... and a few after that.

But, Seasons 1 & 4 were the first full seasons I saw. It's ability to move beyond the Elliott/JD thing is one of the reasons I really like it as well.

Kylie was cute, but her character never really went anywhere beyond her first episode. So, yeah, not my favorite. Mandy get's that spot (though, that's nothing to do with her character or her episodes:) ). I hate Tera Reed, even though, she is/was tolerable. She fits her character so, it's alright.

Regardless, I'd agree that season 5 is the weakest.

It started out really poorly in my mind. But, it picks up, or maybe that's just me enjoying Mandy Moore. I just didn't like JD during most of that season. Though, I got the feeling I wasn't supposed to. The last episode of season 4 is called 'My Changing Ways' so... maybe it was intended. I can't recall specifics of the episode at the moment.

JD has certainly changed a lot. With the developments of season 6, though, I'm hoping he'll finally start to mature a bit...

I guess it's just that the show seems to, in some ways, be turning into self parody.

The thing with the marching band was a little weird as well. Those types of things would normally be fantasies in the first few seasons, which is odd; but I'm willing to go along with it.

Yeah, I'll still watch it, and get it on DVD. But, agian, self parody. I think the My Way Home (Wizard of Oz [which I think was season 5]) was a great use of the extra goofy vibe they've been going with, but sometimes it needs to be a bit more grounded in reality. Though, it had those moments too. Just less of them.

Yeah, I thought that was weird too. I loved Cox's "selling out" speech, but at the end of the episode, I was confused as I wasn't sure who I was supposed to be rooting for.

Right, beacuse it was true. That's how his character has always been. Sure, he's a dick, but he's the good dick (that sounds bad, I know :o). He's the moral high ground when it comes to being a doctor and caring about the people he treats.

So, sure, everyone would love more for less, but Dr. Cox seems to have chossen to not go for that. He could certainly be a private practice doctor if he wanted... but he doesn't want to. So, for them to do that, I was kind of bummed. But, that's tv and it's ever changing staff of writers. whatcha gonna do?

I'm just waitng for them to match the 'My Screwup' episode. And for Dr. Cox's 'His Story' episode. C'mon, and entire episode inside his head? Awesome!

god I'm a dork for this show.:D

Really? That's awesome! I had no idea from only watching this episode. No wonder they meshed so well together.

[the goddamn batman]

Really? That's awesome! I had no idea from only watching this episode. No wonder they meshed so well together.


Yeah, they've done the Charles in Charge theme, Speed Racer, that song from Flashdance and a bunch of others.

Sam Lloyd, the actor who plays Ted, is actually in a Beatles cover band. So, he certainly sang his own parts.

And I do believe everyone sang their own parts. Though, with vocal correction technology being what it is, overdubbing in a studio can make it pitch perfect... even if you can't sing at all. It's all pre programmed, you just say the words and do the best you can. It'll take care of the rest.

[stealthwise]

The first 3 seasons of Scrubs were the best. Period. After that it got a little more ridiculous.

Sadly, I agree. I still love the show, but to me, the most perfect season of any series is the first season of Scrubs, as it seems flawless.

Scrubs was certainly nominated (if it didn't win, which I think it did) for the episode with Brendan Frasier in season 3. The best episode that show has ever done. A prime example of John's acting ability and the shows ability to turn on a dime from comedy to drama.

That episode was definitely excellent, and I really enjoyed Michael J Fox's guest spots.


My biggest gripe with season 6 is the episode where JD admits he's jealous of Elliotts new private practice job. Dr. Cox raants about why her new job makes her a lesser doctor, and it's in line with he and JD's characters, but then at the end, JD and Dr. Cox (with that subtle shrug and groan) admits it too. Which I thought completely sells out the moral fiber of the character. Being doctors who care about their patients and recognise the importaance of what they do, I thought the "Gee, I wish I got paid more for less" really sucked.

It wasn't so much a "I wish I got paid more for less" rather than a "I'm jealous that she gets to leave at a decent hour." I didn't see it as a selling out, just an acknowledgement that she made a good personal choice, something that Elliot had never really done in the first several seasons. It was a nice touch to move her character forward and have the other characters take notice of it.

[the goddamn batman]

Hmmm... that's a good point.


And yeah, I watched the Micheal J. Fox episodes today with my cousin whom I just got hooked on Scrubs the other week.:D It was pretty powerful stuff when he freaked out in the scrub room with JD.:(

[The Foreigner]

Scrubs seriously has some of the best guest stars ever. Michael J. Fox, of course, is amazing. Brendan Fraser played very well off of Cox (And "My Screwup," is of course, brilliant).

Jay Mohr, Dave Foley, Heather Graham, Dick Van Dyke, Rohn Ritter, Sean Hayes, Ryan Reynolds, Collin Farell...

Consistently awesome. I can't believe I'm saying this, but I even enjoyed Tara Reid's character quite a bit (Her appearance in "My Quarantine" in season four is hilarious).

This was actually my favorite episode so far, this season.

I always love when they take some time to develop Kelso as a character ("My Haircut" is one of my favorite episodes of the series), I thought all of the Ted moments were hilarious, and Kelso's affinity for Korean Call Girls is one of my favorite running gags of the show. A really solid episode for me.

[stealthwise]

I loved this Kelso-centric episode, as it toned down on the "zany" and really got back to the roots of the show, which was focusing on what makes the characters work and why they're the best group on tv.

[Lord of Denial]

Very funny ep.

Kelso " If he where gay I'd introduce him to my son, he's been looking for a good power bottom"

[the goddamn batman]

I thought it was ok. I liked it, I was just surprised that they havn't done a 'his story' episode for Dr. Cox yet. More surprised that they opted for Kelso first.

But, better than the musical episode. I don't like musicals.

Umm yea. This was His Story IV. I believe the first 3 were Cox, The Janitor and Turk. Can't remember the order though.

[Yellowjacket]

Season 2: His Story I - Dr. Cox

Season 5: Her Story II - Carla
Season 5: His Story III - Janitor
Season 6: HIs Story IV - Dr. Kelso

anyone have any idea on why kim lied to jd about the miscarriage? what kind of person would she be if she broke up with him just because of the job offer when they are having a child together.

[Donald M.]

anyone have any idea on why kim lied to jd about the miscarriage? what kind of person would she be if she broke up with him just because of the job offer when they are having a child together.

I think a lot of things contributed to her decision to do this: the job offer, JD's immaturity, the feeling that a long-term long-distance relationship between them probably wouldn't work and that the baby was the whole basis for a realtionship that might not have happened in the first place and isn't destined to last.

None of that, true as some of it might be, excuses what a crappy thing it was to do. I don't think this is the last we'll see of this storyline, at least I hope not. If anything though it proves that Kim is as childish and immature in her way as JD, with the exception that I don't think JD is capable of intentionally doing something so callous and hurtful.

I think from Kim's perspective, if her and JD were only staying together because of the pregnancy, then lying to him was a way to make him feel off the hook about staying in their relationship. He doesn't feel obligated to stay with her, if he doesn't really love her. And let's face it, he thinks he's in love with every woman he meets yet it never truly is.

The problem being, Kim lies to him in a big way. And JD definitely doesn't deserve that. This will probably come and bite her in the backside. Then again, the whole thing may be a way to write JD off the show if Braff doesn't resign for another season.

I think it was Chris Rock who said the difference between men and women lying is that men lie more, women tell bigger lies.

Which is what Kim has certainly done.

Everwood, The O.C. and now Scrubs have all had variations upon this storyline.

Zach has allready stated that this is his final season on scrubs. anyone else think it would be a good way to end the season with JD dying? seriously JD isnt going to be there if they do season 7 so why not give him a grand goodbye by killing him on the season finale and then continue the show without him.

[The Foreigner]

Recent interviews with Braff and Bill Lawrence have stated otherwise.

If JD ever really loved a woman, it's Kim. She's like a female version of him. His complete and total fascination with her just really cements his narcissism.

Judging by this interview - http://ny.metro.us/metro/entertainment/article/Discharging_Scrubs/6862.html

JD wont be killed off and he may be back for a seventh season yippeee.

EDIT:
There isn't going to be a season 7 if Zach doesn't sign on. Simple.

And, yeah, the recent interview sure sounds like he'll be back. There is no Scrubs without JD. At least not for me. I can't imagine it without JD. WHo would Turk hang out and be best friends with? Who would Dr. Cox rant at(mostly)? Who would narrate the show? Who would have all the crazy fantasies?


And, the big death that's happening this season, is a GIRL. Now, JD might get called a girls name all the time, but he isn't a girl, and he isn't going to die.

I'm pretty sure I know who is going to die though.

hmm. this is news to me. last time i checked i read braff saying that he wasnt coming back. o well if that means hes back for season 7 then im all for it

[The Foreigner]

I'm guessing Nurse Roberts.

[the goddamn batman]

No way. There is no reason for such a (I Like her but...) pointless character to die.

They said 'majinor' (or something similar) character. She's certainly not a major character... she's a long time character but that doesn't mean major.

I'm thinking a bit more important than that, though, not really a main character. It's hard to say without ruining it. We'll have to wait and see.

[Deathstroke]

Last night's episode drew 5.7 million viewers down about 500,000.

[Doom Hammer]

I'm thinking a bit more important than that, though, not really a main character. It's hard to say without ruining it. We'll have to wait and see.

The loss of any of the major female characters - Elliot, Carla, or Jordan - would be devastating. It can't be any of those three.

Can it?

Although on the topic of Nurse Roberts, I saw a bogus wikipedia episode description that began a plot line where she was in a coma and stuff. It was wierd.

[mgs]

Last night's episode drew 5.7 million viewers down about 500,000.

don't know about anyone else but a coworker and i wait for the dvd's!!! :)

[Ilash]

After this week's episode, it seems like Nurse Roberts is most likely to be the one who dies.

[Deathstroke]

Last night's clip show drew 6.8 million viewers, up 1.1 million.

[DrewTheXenocide]

Too bad it was a pretty lame episode.

[Adem]

Too bad it was a pretty lame episode.

Once I noticed it was a clip show I didn't even bother watching it. Did anything important happen?

[1WEBHEAD]

Once I noticed it was a clip show I didn't even bother watching it. Did anything important happen?

Not much.
Dr. Cox has a shaved head for some reason and picks on interns as usual. There was a patient who tried to kill himself by jumping off a building but surivived and he now has severe memory loss. J.D. is his doctor and he doesn't want to inform him that he's in a hospital because he attempted to commit suicide. Elliot gives J.D.'s patient the bad news for him and after being insulted by Dr. Cox and denied a hug from Turk, JD says, "I hate this place." But that didn't stop me from enjoying the flashbacks.

[Adem]

Wow what a waste of an episode. Thanks for the summary Webhead.

[1WEBHEAD]

Wow what a waste of an episode. Thanks for the summary Webhead.

No problem.:)
3/4 of the episode can be found on youtube by fanmade clips and montages.:rolleyes:

[the goddamn batman]

Worst. Episode. Ever.

Not even good by clip show standards.

I dunno, I've really not been enjoying the majority of season 6. At this rate, I'm starting to hope there isn't a season 7.:(

Dr, Cox's shaved head was weird, but it's better than the perm with frosted tips.:rolleyes:

[DrewTheXenocide]

With the exception of the musical, there hasn't been an epsiode that I completely loved, except for maybe the House parody.

[1WEBHEAD]

I find myself rewatching Scrubs reruns on Comedy Central than tuning in for NBC's new episodes. As much as I love the show, they should quit while they're ahead and end it here. "My Musical" was the last new episode that I really enjoyed. Still one hell of a show but it's lost its touch.

:(

[Adem]

I started losing interest near the end of season 5. I agree that there should not be a season 7. I don't want this to go the way of The Simpsons.

[Gary Joyce]

I just hope the clip show doesnt mean the writers are running out of ideas.Still i thought it was a fairly good episode.As for this season while its been good it has slipped a little in quality but its stillone of the best things on at the moment.

[Adem]

With today’s TV selection that’s not really saying much.

[Gary Joyce]

With today’s TV selection that’s not really saying much.


True i'm just saying that despite a little dip in quality and to be honest it was a very high quality show this season should'nt be written off.

[the goddamn batman]

You know, I hate that 'it's still better than other things' crap. So what. The point it that it's not as good as it used to be. Period.

Measure it against itself, not other crappy tv shows.;)

[HEadacHE]

That show is hot and always will be hot. As long as there is a Jd/Turk combo, I don't care who they kill off. I need my Brown Bear and Gizmoe.
The last two months in Okinawa for me have been introducing my roomate to Scrubs(so I don't have to watch Friends), and watching all the eps from Season 1 to the current while getting wasted. As soon as I can convince my roomate that Scrubs is better than Friends(which I think it is. I hate the laughtrack on Friends) then I will stop watching. The show is still awesome. It started out above awesome and it might have dropped a bit, but it is still awesome.

[stealthwise]

I like Scrubs, but the clip show reminded me of how much I used to LOVE it.

Season one was dead-on perfect, and the second through fourth seasons were great as well, but it's begun to slip, and it kind of taints the show.

The biggest thing is that they don't seem to have any direction left for the characters. I don't think that they can get it back at this point, there's nothing left at stake for JD and the gang. I'm hoping that they can give the show a good sendoff.

[MikeVic]

I agree that I don't like it as much as I used to. If the quality continues to drop off, I'd prefer them going out after this season. But you never know with the remaining episodes.

[the goddamn batman]

It's true, and I really hope something good happens towards the end.

But, when characters start having kids, and there are clip shows that waste what could have been a great episode... as well as the main actor mentioning his lack of interest it doesn't look good.

IF Braff leaves and they try to continue without him, they'll be continuing without me as well.

Problem is that the JD and Elliott have become parodies of their characters... well, JD has. Elliott has just become a different character. WHich wouldn't bother me, if her new character wasn't annoying and lame.

Season 1 was THE season.

[DrewTheXenocide]

But she's hotter than she was in Season One so it kinda evens out.

[stealthwise]

But she's hotter than she was in Season One so it kinda evens out.

I thought that she was hotter back then, actually. I don't like her character much now either, which is a huge part of the attraction.

On the one hand, I LIKE that a female main character can advance in position and develop from a neurotic newbie into an established, respected doctor who has a few personal quirks (relatively few anyways, compared to the rest in the Scrubs-verse).

[the goddamn batman]

You don't mess with the natural order of things! Don't get en wrong, outside of work, with her hair down, Elliott is a slamin' hottie! But at work, she's an asexual mess!

I really liked Elliott when the point of her character wasn't about being hot, well dressed, and having money.

[Deathstroke]

Zach Braff has signed a 1 year deal for a potential 7th season. If NBC picks up the show, a probable thing, he will be paid $350,000 an episode.

LOL Spoken like a man who didn't see last Sunday's brilliant episode...

[Kiriyama]

Ergh, what a horrible episode.

[the goddamn batman]

Agreed.

This was a prime example of how the show has lost sight of the characters that made it great.

JD finds out his old girlfriend is dead, and asks her mother about her screwing Turk? He didn't even bat a fucking eyelash at the fact that she was dead. That's not the JD from seasons 1-4 ...or even 5.

And the ending with Elliott... WTF?

I just don't like this show anymore. And it used to be my favorite show. I don't even know if I'll bother watching the new episodes.:(

[1WEBHEAD]

JD finds out his old girlfriend is dead, and asks her mother about her screwing Turk? He didn't even bat a fucking eyelash at the fact that she was dead. That's not the JD from seasons 1-4 ...or even 5.


Yeah. What's up with that? What happened to the caring young intern who looked out for everyone? If the REAL JD heard his ex girlfriend died drowning, he'd go visit the family and give his respects and stuff like that.
"Oh hi! Is Susan (I can't remember her real name) there?"
"Oh she died..."
"Well did she metion ever sleeping with a guy named Turk?"

WTH!?:mad:

Unlike Early Scrubs, Season 6 lacks heart and effort. Sorry but somebody had to say it.:(

[the goddamn batman]

Yeah. I hate to say it, but it's true.

Also, the constant Turk needs to fart would have been funny, if I was still 12.

[DrewTheXenocide]

Yeah. That was pretty bad.

And what's with Cox's hair? Was that a wig or something?

[the goddamn batman]

I imagine the episodes were filmed in a differen order then aired. My Night to Remember could go anywhere. It had no continuity... except the hair. I'm sure we'll see McGinleey bald agian later in the season... if I watch.

[DanElHombre]

My Fishbowl was episode 11

My Night to Remember was actually episode 12

the commentary for My Night to Remember only mentions that he shaved his head for an upcoming episode, but even if so, he is still shaved out of sequence.

I agree with the sentiment that the writing/acting is sub-par this season compared to the previous seasons.

[Deathstroke]

Last night's episode drew 5.9 million viewers, down 900,000.

[stealthwise]

Sigh, perhaps it's for the better, given how poor this latest episode was.

[the goddamn batman]

I'm glad that we all think the last few eps have been shit. I was worried I would be alone in that.

Solidarity, brothers!

[Deathstroke]

Last night's episode drew 6.37 million viewers, up 470,000.

[DanElHombre]

Last nights episode was the best one so far this season, IMO.

a first time writer too, perhaps that's what this show needs.

that massage scene was disturbingly hilarious.

I couldnt figure out how everyone was stealing scrubs since you had to put something into the machine to get something out... but then it's a comedy so I realized I shouldnt care.

and I dont wanna know why JD can tell Rowdy and Steven apart. :D

Heh, yeah, it was pretty funny.

I just got season 4 on dvd, and the show was still great then. I remember enjoying the hell out of season 5 last year, especially when they were showing two episodes in a row.

This year, I'm not enjoying that much, but this week's episode was pretty funny, I like how they're providing more screen time for Dr. Kelso, which allowed this one to have some actual heart.

[the goddamn batman]

I didn't even watch this week. I havn't really enjoyed season 6 much, but the last few episodes really really really sucked. I think I might just be done with Scrubs.:(

I'll probably download some in a few weeks and see how I feel about it then.

Don't feel bad I didn't watch it either. I was half way through Casino Royale and didn't feel like stopping it to watch Scrubs. I think I'll just stop watching it now.

[wingsofdamnation]

whats with doc cox's hair? an episode or two back he was shaved and now hes got a full head of hair. did i miss something?

[DanElHombre]

all they've said is that it is shaved for an upcoming episode.

nothing on the show yet about it... it seems to really bother a lot of people.

[DanElHombre]

I could not stop laughing at Turk seeing Elliot as unattractive.

The serious issues are not very well done this season, but I did not see that ending coming. John C is just phenomenal.

for a second there, I thought they killed off Laverne... I said "no effin way".

In the commentary they mention that this is a 3 episode story-arc.

[MikeVic]

I liked the last couple of episodes. Hopefully the season continues stongly the rest of the season to make up for some of the bad episodes that took place this season.

[1WEBHEAD]

Only saw the second half but from what I saw was a major improvement. Loved how the writers fleshed Laverne (sp?) out more from the big gossiping, sassy nurse to character I care about. Gosh I hope she makes it through...:(

[Deathstroke]

Last night's episode drew 6.53 million viewers, down about 160,000.

[the goddamn batman]

I downloaded the last two eps I didn't watch... and I have to say that I rather liked them. I guess I'll get back on. But man, this season hasn't been great. They'd better pull it together here.

[Hi-Fi]

Wow, last episode was really amazing. This has been a weak season, but last episode was definitely a comeback to the roots. Elliot thanking Kelso was a good scene, the Nanny subplot was kinda funny, we finally had some more Jordan (she's been missing all season! What's up with that?) and the end with Dr. Cox and Laverne was terrific. It reminded me of the Brandon Fraser's episode.

I'm totally back on board now.

I agree, I'll give the show another shot for sure, but I missed tonight's episode!

[GremlinClr]

I agree, I'll give the show another shot for sure, but I missed tonight's episode!

I don't think you did. I switched over there and another episode of The Office came on instead of Scrubs. It might not have aired last night.

[LtMarvel]

NBC line up for Thursday, March 29 was The Office, The Office, The Office, Andy Baker PI, The Office, and The Office.

[Cyke]

So yeah...

I shed a tear. Easily Carla's strongest episode. I will miss Laverne. A vast, VAST improvement over the clip show.

[stealthwise]

The show is back! Really strong story, and I'm glad that Scrubs is still keeping on.

[DrewTheXenocide]

I dunno. I laughed, but I didn't feel like I should have been. From what I recall, there were always boundaries set between the dramatic parts and the comedic parts of Scrubs. For instance, the most powerful moment, in "My Lunch". There's the whole shtick in the beginning with JD trying to hide from Nicole Sullivan's character, but then it hit the turning point and it was all drama from there.

This epsiode, I felt that the humor was too sparsed out onto the drama of Laverne and her situation.

Either way, "Jennifer-Dyllan?" Hilarious.

[Hi-Fi]

Yeah, I cried like a baby. But smiled at the end with Jordan and JD.

[Hi-Fi]

The Robot part was PRICELESS!!!

[DanElHombre]

JD giving the flowers an "In your face!" was hilarious.

I was lmao at Lloyd driving Jack home.

[the goddamn batman]

Wow... I thought that sucked. I guess I am alone in that one. But, yeah I don't like Scrubs anymore.

The high point for me was the flash back to JD's first deat, and saying 'hey look, it's JD!' and my cousin saying 'yeah, whatever happened to him?' and I replied, 'they wrote him off a few seasons ago.'

Lame.

[mattx110]

i'm almost positive a future episode is gonna have JD talking to the staff writers "when am i getting some character development? all i do anymore is have deranged fantasies. it's wearing thing people!"

[1WEBHEAD]

:DSHADOW PUPPET THEATER!!!!!!!:D

Lame.

The feeling of the show has changed, but it's still quite good at this point, but enjoy the dvds of seasons one though five (or four?). Sincerely, because I really enjoyed much of this season, minus the clip show and the musical episode.

[the goddamn batman]

I've enjoyed a hand full of episodes from this season.

But, JD is a dipshit now. I understand that characters change over time... but this juust doesn't even resemble the character that the show started with. Same with Elliott.

All of the fantasies go on for too long. All of the character development is forgotten within the next few episodes.

I mean, didn't Carla have postpartum depression? Didn't JD have a medical condition? Isn't Elliott in private practice?

I dunno, every opportunity for some real emotion, is passed up for over the top corny, or a lame joke throw in. ANd not like they used to.

And, does JD ever do any work anymore? All he does is wander around daydreaming.

[Fats Tuesday]

I've enjoyed a hand full of episodes from this season.

I mean, didn't Carla have postpartum depression? Didn't JD have a medical condition? Isn't Elliott in private practice?

They showed Carla realising that she needed help for that at the end of that particular episode, and in fact in a later one mentioned she was on anti-deperessants for it.

J.D.'s condition was said to be temporary, and again mentioned for a couple of episodes.

Elliot being a private practice doctor is referred to all the time, they had a mini character arc where Kelso would ignore her, until she thanked him for the training she got at Sacred Heart. Cox harasses her all the time about her "leaving at 5pm".


And, does JD ever do any work anymore? All he does is wander around daydreaming.

As he mentioned in one episode to Turk, he treats his patients between these crazy thoughts and stuff.

And it was more interesting when they were doctors, and actually delt with their patients.

Again, watch Season 1. Then watch season 6. You'll see what I'm talking about. It's not only different now, it's just shit.

That episode where JD found out his college girlfriend died, and instead of caring, or even really noticing, he coninued to ask her mom if she fucked Turk!

That wasn't funny. Nor was it at all in line with the 5 prior seasons of JD's character. That's called bad writing.

[mgs]

Yeah. That was pretty bad.

And what's with Cox's hair? Was that a wig or something?

I imagine that's got to be something with his upcoming movie with Ice Cube.

[Fats Tuesday]

Like I said: All of the character development is forgotten within the next few episodes.

Apart from the fact that the stuff that isnt temporary is still remembered and reffered to continuously yeah you're right...

You gave three examples, two of which were temporary conditions for the character to begin with and were both referred to in episodes after they initially appeared.

The third has been mentioned in nearly every episode since it was introduced.

That's all your opinion of course, personally I like it just as much now as I did in season 1, in fact aspects of it I like more now than then.

[DanElHombre]

I imagine that's got to be something with his upcoming movie with Ice Cube.

In the commentary they mention that he told producers that he was cutting his hair short like it was in Season 1, then he showed up on set with it shaved so they wrote it in.

Cox: So everyone can just suck it.

[the goddamn batman]

The third has been mentioned in nearly every episode since it was introduced.

YOu don't need to be snarky about it, ok. You want to talk about it, great. You want to shit on my opinion, not cool.

How has Elliotts private practice job been aknowledged? I mean, nobody does any work anymore, so I guess that's not specific to her, but all I've seen is "Elliott leaves at 5". Whoa, that's really some deep character development there. I guess my beef there is that it was another pointless character move, that resulted in a few cheap laughs and nothing more.

Postpartum depression isn't something you just get over. Meds or not. And I think they used it, and dropped it. That's too bad. They could have gone deeper with Carla and Turk. But, again, cheap laughs and we're done.

JD's condition might be temporary, but again, used it and dropped it. They've made no mention of him getting over it, and for how big a deal they made out of it and how many cheap laughs they tried to get out of it, I think they should have mentioned that he's over it. I'm sure most people would be excited to not pass out when they poop anymore. maybe that's just me.

What about his DUI? What about his tent? It's all just been dropped. We'll see in upcoming episodes, but I'm not holding my breath.


That's all your opinion of course, personally I like it just as much now as I did in season 1, in fact aspects of it I like more now than then.

JD being a completely different character, with no regard to who the core of who the character used to be, is not my opinion. It's a simple fact. JD has changed. That's all there is to it.

IF season 1 JD found out his college girlfried died, not only would he have cared, and obsessed about it the entire episode, but he certainly wouldn't have asked her mother if she fucked Turk. This is all simple math really.

[the goddamn batman]

I guess he just wanted to shit on my opinons.:rolleyes:




Another example of cheap laughs over proper characterisation that came to mind was when JD asked everyone what Dr. Cox's pager number was, and he sand the 'Dr. Cox at me door pager 234' song.

JD wouldn't need a song to remember, nor would he forget Dr. Cox's pager number. Period.

[stealthwise]

I think that the biggest problem that you're referring to, regarding change, is that the season seems to be written on the fly, and that the network appears to be showing episodes out of order, hence the lack of lasting change, and confusing crap like Dr. Cox's hair.

Don't get me wrong, I love season one. To me, that's the season of tv that all other sitcoms/dramedys/hell ALL shows should be looking towards, because that's the best season of tv of all-time, imo. Better than anything from Six Feet Under, Deadwood, Simpsons, etc., because it's funny, it's smart, and it's got genuine emotion in there. When someone here once tried to claim that those hacks on Grey's Anatomy were better actors, I basically laughed so hard at my computer that I nearly choked... and choked bitterly at the success that that crapass show enjoys after ripping off elements of my beloved Scrubs.

That rant being said and done... while I realize that the early years were best, I still see glimmers of the old Scrubs in this new season, and I take what I can get. Season six isn't that terrible, although I can see why it would strike false for you in parts.

[the goddamn batman]

Yeah, but I'm still watching. I love scrubs. I can't NOT watch, you know? For those moments that are far and few between, I have to watch.

The two episodes before this last one were good. I had hope. But this last one didn't, and damn it, it should have, do it for me.:(

Though, Carla's moment was good. But JD's was not.

[LtMarvel]

I guess he just wanted to shit on my opinons.:rolleyes:




Another example of cheap laughs over proper characterisation that came to mind was when JD asked everyone what Dr. Cox's pager number was, and he sand the 'Dr. Cox at me door pager 234' song.

JD wouldn't need a song to remember, nor would he forget Dr. Cox's pager number. Period.
Ummm......

Thank you for pointing out something I wouldn't think of the first 100 times viewing the episode..

[Hi-Fi]

Jordan needs to be in every episode. I love her.

[borateen]

Jordan needs to be in every episode. I love her.

Did she get a botched facelift or something? She looks kinda...weird...now.

[Deathstroke]

By the way, there'll be a new episode of the show on this Thursday, a week earlier than planned.

[the goddamn batman]

Ummm......

Thank you for pointing out something I wouldn't think of the first 100 times viewing the episode..

I don't know if this is sacracsm or not... and I don't like to assume.

But, the pointy was to list yet another example of the show's writers ignoring the characters for cheap laughs. Which is my biggest gripe with the show lately.

So, you're welcome?

[DanElHombre]

I've never paid any attention to who wrote episodes in the past, but I am this season since they are often doing the commentary's... this past episode was written by a first time Scrubs writer, who was a former writer for South Park.

He is the one who killed off Chef, knowing that makes Turk's goodbye more amusing.

The writers this season seem to be trying to write in more drama for the staff than in the previous seasons. All of the seriousness of this season is a huge miss for me. It seems like the writers think "it's only funny if JD..." gets a dui while walking/gets a girl preggers without intercourse/a homeless doctor/etc. But when they put JD in those situations they have no way of amusingly getting him out of the situation so the next writer ignores it completely.

I keep telling myself that the even number seasons are all lackluster compared to the odd number seasons; hopefully we'll get another season so that we can forget about this one.

Also, I noticed that during the first hiatus, all the Thursday comedies were rerunning episodes from this season except for Scrubs, which was rerunning episodes from previous seasons.

[Deathstroke]

Keri Russell will do a 2 episode arc on the show beginning April 26th. She'll play an old friend of Elliott's.

[stealthwise]

This latest episode had JD still as a jerk, but it was good, really, really good.

Not sure how the docs had either the moral or legal right to perform cocular implants on that kid, regardless of mother's consent, but overall, I really enjoyed the show this week. Neil Flynn constantly delivers as the janitor, and it was cool to see Elliott and Keith's relationship evolve.

[Deathstroke]

Last night's episode drew 5 million viewers, down 900,000.

[mgs]

I can't believe they killed off Laverne. :(

[Hi-Fi]

Great episode, especially because they finally advanced Elliot's subplot with Keith. Carla, Kelso and Cox were also great. And I'm so glad Jordan is back more regularly now. And was that Lonnie?? It's been a while since we last saw him, isn't it?

But JD is acting like a complete jerk!! I was as mad as Carla with all his disrespectful behavior during Laverne's funeral. Does he even miss her at all?? I kinda hate him right now.

[the goddamn batman]

Yeah, 'JD' (quotes because that's NOT JD) is kind of a fuck-tard these days.

I mean really, can we have a funeral without all the fucking jokes? Or can JD have a fantasy without making that stupid face? Seriously. I hate JD.

Everyone else was pretty good, and the ep in general wasn't too bad. But I hate 'JD'. It's just shit. I hope there isn't a seventh season.:(

[DanElHombre]

I hope there isn't a seventh season.:(

what else is there to watch? This episode was written by an Eric Weinberg, a veteran Scrubs writer and this episode felt like a classic Scrubs episode imo.

Kelso is absolutely hysterical this season. His sign language was funny and sitting in the cafeteria with Elliot and Keith... "bitches" :D

I also loved the scene where Nervous Guy was dead serious for a moment, asking Elliot if she was going to rip Keith a new one, I dont recall Nervous Guy ever being dead-pan serious. I also liked Dr. Beardface, Snoop Dog Resident, and Mickhead all in the same scene.

and George Wallace was an awesome cameo.

[the goddamn batman]

I liked the episode, I just don't like JD much anymore.

And, if they do a seventh season, I'll have to watch, and I'd rather not sit through more terrible episodes than I already have.

As for what else is there to watch? It's called: Turn the tv off!!! Crazy, I know.

[SPAfreak]

Did you watch the second season at all? JD was a dick throughout the entire season. Hell, he screwed the widow at a funeral that year. The same pretty much went for everyone else that season. If I'd been watching the show that year and hadn't only caught it on DVD I probably would have stopped watching.

And the face? He always makes that face. Every. Single. Time. They even made a joke about it this season.

No, the writing isn't anywhere near as strong this season. I agree with you. It's just that some of the arguments that you keep repeating are ridiculous and more than a little annoying.

I guess, to me, it's a different kind of dick. And season 2 isn't my favorite. I lie 1-3 and 4 the best. But, it just seems to me that JD would have cared about a funeral in earlier seasons... rather than focus on his own fake funeral. Maybe I'm wrong.

And the face? He always makes that face. Every. Single. Time. They even made a joke about it this season.

uh... ok... have you seen season 1?

No, the writing isn't anywhere near as strong this season. I agree with you. It's just that some of the arguments that you keep repeating are ridiculous and more than a little annoying.

I'm entitled to my opinion. This is my favorite show. I've watched this show more than any sane person should ever watch any show (maybe I'm insane) and it's not the same in my mind.

You don't have to like, or agree with my criticisms... but I can voice that opinion. Even if I'm wrong.

[DWEarhart]

I became hooked on this show when Comedy Central started airing it. I have Season One and can watch it to no end. JD is the one I like the least. I can relate or just enjoy anyone else, it's just JD, while still funny at times; he's the one that's not clicking with me.

[DanElHombre]

[stealthwise]

Anyone watch tonight? I was really impressed with how they handled the "second bananas" and provided a different viewpoint for the show, although the self-parody seemed to push a bit much at times and kind of distract from the main plot.

The fact that JD received only two minutes of screen time was a bit strange though.

[DanElHombre]

They do His Storys every season.

There was an episode where the Janitor locked JD in a water tower for an entire episode, so the lack of JD wasn't really a surprise to me.

Being in Ted's head is by far the highlight of this season so far. That super-market scene was hysterical.

[Hi-Fi]

I really liked last episode. It was good to see some character development for Jordan and Ted, but I wish the same would have happened to Todd. He was there just for laughs, as usual.

I think the flashback episode is supposed to happen between the "Laverne Trilogy" and this episode. Right?

[DrewTheXenocide]

Is it just me or has Jordan somehow moved from being a hardass to being a complete 'tard?

[the goddamn batman]

I dunno, I love Jordan.

I thought this ep was alright, mainly because I love Jordan.

[Hi-Fi]

Yeah, I thought Jordan was hilarious. I love her so much. But I agree she's more of a parody of her old self lately. I still love her, though.

[DanElHombre]

Jordan's VO looking at the two bearded doctors was hilarious. Definitely one of the highlights of the episode.

[the goddamn batman]

But I agree she's more of a parody of her old self lately. I still love her, though.

That's kinda how I feel about the show in general. But, I still love Jordan.:D

[LtMarvel]

When was Jordan not a parody?

[the goddamn batman]

She wasn't SELF parody.;)

[LtMarvel]

Can't say I see the difference between Jordan in this season and the reruns..

[wingsofdamnation]

Is it just me or has Jordan somehow moved from being a hardass to being a complete 'tard?
yeah i feel the same. i loved her in the past seasons because she was that hard as nails, mean, disgruntled wife. now shes all pippy and all smiles.

[Deathstroke]

Last night's episode had a great line from Keri Russell about J.D.'s appletini's "Does that come in hetero?"

The show drew 4.68 million viewers, down 880,000.

[DrewTheXenocide]

Tonight's episode was surprisingly good. I found myself laughing out loud, something I haven't been doing a lot with Scrubs lately. Besides the obvious excellence of Elliot and Carla kissing, there were lots of high points, but the end was probably the best.

The scene when JD finally realises why his true feelings about Elliot's engagement was really well done. On the other hand, that last shot, with him in the shower again, but crying or something I could'be done without.

[wingsofdamnation]

damn no talk on the season finale? i missed it. my DVR was busted and i was forced to chose between watching the season finale of scrubs or supernatural. i chose supernatural

[DanElHombre]

Kelso was hilarious again.

In typical Scrubs writing, all they can think of is putting JD and Elliot together. My last thought of the ending was... Really? Again? Meh.

Kelso: MEEEEOOWW

[stealthwise]

Kelso was hilarious again.

I'm hoping that the tease with JD and Elliott won't actually end up going that way, and that they finally move forward with their lives.

This show needs to end pretty soon here, because although some of the characters are still enjoyable, there's no real impetus to keep watching, as they've exhausted just about every creative possibility with their main characters.

[the goddamn batman]

damn no talk on the season finale? i missed it. my DVR was busted and i was forced to chose between watching the season finale of scrubs or supernatural. i chose supernatural

I'm just about to sit down and watch tonights episode, but I believe there is one more after this, right?

[DanElHombre]

No, last night was the finale. Next week is the musical again.

[DrewTheXenocide]

I'm hoping that the tease with JD and Elliott won't actually end up going that way, and that they finally move forward with their lives.


I agree, but if it means another Sarah Chalke sex scene, I'm all for it.


...God, I'm lonely.

[stealthwise]

I agree, but if it means another Sarah Chalke sex scene, I'm all for it.


...God, I'm lonely.

Haha, you know that season one is on dvd, right?

Nothing on tv gives me the same chill as when she first said "I was jealous"

[the goddamn batman]

No, last night was the finale. Next week is the musical again.

Yeah, I was looking at the episode list, without reading anything except the title for fear of spoilers... and it listed two eps after My Conventional Wisdom... If I'd read anything I'd have noticed the air dates.

Duh...:o

[wingsofdamnation]

finally watched it off of itunes. i think they are being a bit too hard on Kim for what she did. i know it was terrible but they make it seem like she killed the kid. JD is a total jerk in the episode too. even with elliot ketting married he still has to ruin her relationship. seriously the guy needs to move on. hes ruined every relationship that shes been in.

[acagle7]

Uh, not really. Really the only one he ruined was her one with Sean.

[Chase]

Should The Janitor's name be revealed? In "My Friend the Doctor" (http://www.tv-links.co.uk/link.do/1/270/4912/30888/47024) (3x08), The Janitor is shown to be the transit cop from The Fugitive, a role Neil Flynn actually played. However, in an interview, Flynn has said The Janitor's name is not Neil Flynn. With all this said, what do you think The Janitor's name is? :D

[DrewTheXenocide]

"Jan Itor."

[1WEBHEAD]

Rotinaj? I remember that being his screen name or something. . .

[DonC]

The janitor's name was Stace at first, then it got changed to Angus.

[1WEBHEAD]

The janitor's name was Stace at first, then it got changed to Angus.

Where are you basing this off of?

[SPAfreak]

Rotinaj? I remember that being his screen name or something. . .

No. JD just accused the Janitor of being Rotinaj. There's an actual Dr. Rotinaj at the hospital.

[DonC]

Where are you basing this off of?



Stace, later Angus. (http://www.macgyveronline.org/control/macgyver.jpg)
