Scrubs C or D?

(sorry I don't have an explanation, I just like it and wanted to give my support)

im in love with eliot

Dr Cox's wife is the hottest woman ever.

PS Classic. I love, Graham, Locklear, Smart, her off Roseanne and her off The Drew Carey Show.

i like certain moments a lot, but overall, nothing spectacular. she swears that in the past it's been a laugh a minute. Has this show been gowing downhill?

You know, TV in Aus is FUCKED - if they keep messing with shows people will just go "ehhh" and get the DVDs. Im happy with that personally.

Why did they axe that hott blonde chief of surgery from the fourth series? It co-incided with the appearance of Heather Graham, curiously.

and i only just realised that jd's ditzy blonde doctor friend/occasional shag was the second becky in roseanne! man, she looks better now.

I don’t want your number (no)
I don’t want to give you mine and (no)
I don’t want to meet you nowhere (no)
I don’t want none of your time and (no)

Chorus:
I don’t want no scrub
A scrub is a guy that can’t get no love from me
Hanging out the passenger side
Of his best friend’s ride
Trying to holler at me
I don’t want no scrub
A scrub is a guy that can’t get no love from me
Hanging out the passenger side
Of his best friend’s ride
Trying to holler at me

There’s a scrub checkin’ me
But his game is kinda weak
And I know that he cannot approach me
Cuz I’m lookin’ like class and he’s lookin’ like trash
Can’t get wit’ no deadbeat ass
So (no) (yea, yea)

I don’t want your number (no)
I don’t want to give you mine and (no)
I don’t want to meet you nowhere (no)
I don’t want none of your time (no)

Chorus

If you don’t have a car and you’re walking
Oh yes son I’m talking to you
If you live at home wit’ your momma
Oh yes son I’m talking to you (baby)
If you have a shorty that you don’t show love
Oh yes son I’m talking to you (yea yea yea yea...)
Wanna get with me with no money
Oh no I don’t want no (oh)

No scrub (no scrub, no love)
No scrub (no no) (no scrub, no love)
No scrub (no no no no no)
No scrub (no no)
No

Chorus

Chorus

Left eye:
See, if you can’t spatially expand my horizon
Then that leaves you in a class with scrubs never risin’
I don’t find it surprisin’
If you don’t have the g’s
To please me and bounce from here to the coast of overseas
So, let me give you somethin’ to think about
Inundate your mind with intentions to turn you out
Can’t forget the focus on the picture in front of me
You as clear as dvd on digital tv screen
Satisfy my appetite with something spectacular
Check your vernacular
And then I get back to ya
With diamond like precision
Insatiable is what I envision
Can’t detect acquisition
From your friend’s expedition
Mr. big willy if you really wanna know
Ask chilli, could I be a silly ho
Not really, t-boz and all my senoritas
Is steppin’ on your filas
But you don’t hear me though

Chorus

Chorus

That reminds me; I have a coworker that will ONLY watch the History Channel, Discovery or PBS because she can't get over herself enough to enjoy a "dumb" sitcom. Literally, ANY sitcom is "dumb." Unsurprisingly, she's totally out of the loop regarding popular culture and didn't even know what a blog was until 6 months ago or something.

I forgot one other thing: this coworker of mine does not blow me away with her wit or sense of humor, which I suspect could be sharpened by watching "dumb" sitcoms.

That said, MythBusters rocks.

I only watch this is syndiction and I have no idea how old the ones I watch are. But they all seem about 70% dud to 30% classic but the 30% more than redeems the rest.

syndication but and

This show is similar to Gilligan's Island, Beverly Hillbillies, or Three's Company or other "classic" sitcoms, in that it has no points of similarity to ordinary reality, but instead creates a "whacky" space in the viewer's imagination where the characters make a sort of weird sense.

This is probably the root cause of why one is supposed to either love or hate it. If you have succumbed to the stupid premise and learned the characters, then you will presumably love it. If your imagination rejects it as a foreign body, then you will presumably hate it.

Because I've only seen it in small scraps here and there while in a room where it is turned on, I am mostly indifferent to it.

I think the older seasons are consistently great. My roommate described it as "Family Guy in a hospital," which had me contemplating why I don't like Family Guy nearly as much. Also, like Futurama, I find it weirdly affecting emotionally.

so so dud

Different from Family Guy because Family Guy has great jokes and some of the best comic performances in TV history. Scrubs has WACKY~!

Scrubs is fucking shit man!

It's the most annoying programme on TV.

Scrubs = genius. Obv.

;_;

Actor Zack Braff is to hang up his scrubs and quit the TV medical comedy.

Show creator Bill Lawrence has confirmed the upcoming season of Scrubs will be Braff's last.

And Lawrence hints that Braff's final show could mark the end of the series: "The end of the show will be about J.D. (Braff's character) leaving the hospital."

But Lawrence also insists, "You can't kill this show."

Sorry, Bill Lawrence. This show already died about three seasons ago. Now it's just a full cast of zombies.

don't tell him that, he'll just go "lol great idea, let's do a ZOMBIE THEME EPISODE!"

"i can't think of another sitcom where the douchey lead dude gets crazy ass the way jd does."

Seinfeld.

...I think I hate everyone Scrubs.

BOOOOOOOOOOO!

i hope everyone else realizes Z S is the greatest poster of all time anywhere

I've loved this show since its first season, and I'm very glad that they got the chance to make a season 8. It seemed as though it was always in danger of not coming back, and NBC never really threw their muscle behind it. I missed the last 2 episodes from this past year, and only just now watched them. It was the most perfect ending to a sitcom that I've ever seen. It actually made me cry. I can't think of the last time that TV made me cry. It is absolutely criminal that they would push on with another year, without all of the original cast - especially in light of how they ended season 8.

From what I gather it's going to be an "After M*A*S*H" kind of thing, with Cox and Turk taking teaching roles in med school or something.

I give it 4 episodes.

I guess I should catch up with season 8, tho. I always forgot to watch it and only saw the first 2 or 3 eps.

This show is horrible and the fact that it even got to a "Season 8" is an abomination of television.

seriously

I have to admit, I'm still going to watch the new series anyway. I liked the series finale but yeah, the show was really going through the motions for the last two or three years. At least this year they were openly acknowledging it, I guess.

I can't fathom having enough spare time to work myself up into a frothing hatred over this show.

People really hate this show.

I know, and it's kind of like "in a world that gave us 'According To Jim' you picked THIS as the center of all televised evil?"

i'm not fingering anyone here or getting all hot and bothered, this show just pegs me the wrong way

i couldn't get past the fifth season

i would like this show quite a bit if all the earnest Braff musings were excised. It's not comedy gold but it raises a chuckle once in a while and would be fairly entertaining if the monologues about people dying and what it's like working in a hospital would get to fuck.

or more or less what blueski says more succinctly in the first reply to this thread.

The musical episode they did was kind of brain-melting.

Scrubs is shitty in a way that is totally distinct from how According to Jim is shitty.

I've somehow managed to allocate my resources efficiently enough to hate both of them.

haha, i kinda like scrubs

also, some dude on slate wrote a piece on how it's the most realistic hospital drama on TV, which sorta makes sense

did Turk really end up having a testicle removed after his baby daughter kicked him in the nads?

Apparently!

that's comedy huh

btw this is the Slate piece gbx mentioned: http://www.slate.com/id/2217711/

dr cox is a legend but i haven't seen this in a few.

i didn't write that, but i do agree with it

"I always thought Scrubs was right on."

there's still new episodes of this shit wtf nine seasons?!

my brother was describing this as a scrubs spinoff with the same name and writers

there's actually a lot more of the original cast than I thought there'd be, at least for the episodes so far, i thought it was gonna be a total Screech-and-Mr.-Belding-and-all-new-kids thing. still kind of enjoy this stupid show.

it's bad. the new main character that does the narration stuff is terrible.

yeah, she's pretty bad, but i'm glad they kept the other girl that was the one funny new character last season

i still watch this show all the damn time, ive learned to tune out the zach braffisms and bad music and just wait for jokes to come back

xp otm... too bad all the other new characters feel really generic. I remember someone trying to make the argument that Scrubs started out this way too w/JD, Turk, Elliot, etc. but I don't buy it.

I'm afraid to watch the new episodes largely because the original cast had transcendent chemistry that made even the weak episodes work. I thought they did an excellent job last season with casting the new round of interns in retaining that chemistry; am I interpreting this thread correctly in that they only kept one of them?????

(lol web research reassures me a little bit in that they did, in fact, keep the awesomest one of the interns)

so far JD, Turk, Todd, Cox and Kelso are still in the show, and Elliot and the Janitor made brief cameos. so i mean, unless you thought Carla was the best part of the original cast or something, not much difference.

There's actually a lot more JD than I thought there would be, considering how he was begging to leave pretty much every season. I'm surprised they couldn't even get Carla back for a cameo like they did with Elliot, but I guess I can also understand why she didn't want to bother after eight seasons.

It just seems too on the nose to have the new JD be an insecure blond girl...

why is this show even still on? i haven't kept up for the past couple seasons (regularly, anyway) but it seems like it's waaaay past it's sell-by date.

i still watch this show all the damn time, ive learned to tune out the zach braffisms and bad music and just wait for jokes to come back

i am rewatching this show for the first time in probably 10 years and it's not aged v well. still like the janitor, and the lawyer ted is sort of proto-depressed zoomer humor. i would pay $20 for a dvd set with all of zach braff's narration and the musical montages removed.
