At this point, the only weak link is Lucy. If there is a second season and they simply take the inner monologue gig from her, then i can probably deal. <br /><br />Hope they bring it back, but based on what you are saying Alan, I won't hold my breath.Benjamin Standighttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10494959895438125926noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17517257.post-37892451124971693902010-03-11T10:19:41.105-05:002010-03-11T10:19:41.105-05:00Can people stop hating on seasons 6 and 7.

Sure, there were some weak episodes and story lines (fake miscarriage, anyone?), but there were some that were better than a lot of comedies on TV at the time. I count the episodes with Laverne's death, Kelso's retirement and Sam's birth among my all time favourites and there was also My Musical (memorably pulled off with a lot of humour), My Cold Shower and My Waste of Time, two forgotten gems of Scrubs' original run.<br /><br />I also think this year has been pointless, and I don't fully understand Lawrence's reasoning for it, but I'm just glad Sacred Heart survives in some form. I feel safe in the knowledge that Cox and Kelso are there, although I have to agree with Shannon Shark... that Turk is obsolete these days, he's not even dancing. <br /><br />I assumed Turk woold take more of a leading role this year, but it seems the writers are content to keep him as one half of the world's greatest bromance.<br /><br />Cole's T-Pain infatuation was hilarious and although the similarities between him, Ed and Tom Haverford are extremely pronounced that doesn't prevent frat boy douchebags from being riotously funny.Georgenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17517257.post-82172347772672623682010-03-11T10:08:27.304-05:002010-03-11T10:08:27.304-05:00They should have brought Kelso and Cole together m...They should have brought Kelso and Cole together much earlier. Those two are great together, but the first two-thirds of the show really dragged. Finally in the third act when they shared the screen, it was golden. <br /><br />I hope that Dave Franco and the actors who play Drew and Denise find themselves on other comedies. All three of them are very funny. I think JD and Lucy killed Scrubs Med. And Ken Jenkins kills me every time.LAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04868479477550590056noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17517257.post-91270759864912930172010-03-11T10:04:26.987-05:002010-03-11T10:04:26.987-05:00Cox told Drew to DVR the Big Bang Theory

I thought this was one of the weaker episodes of the new Scrubs, and that says a lot since it's not a very strong series to begin with.<br /><br />The jokes are becoming lame and predictable. Not to mention, as much as people have problems with the smaltzy endings to Modern Family eps, Scrubs is just plain annoying with how they try to have a "message" in each and every episode. It seems forced and, again, as they've exhausted every creative idea already, as soon as something happens in the first five minutes you can kind of tell what the inspirational message is going to be by the end.<br /><br />I don't know why Bill Lawrence didn't try to mix things up and change the format so that it wasn't so rigid and predictable. The best humor comes from when you don't expect it, but at this point it seems like all the characters are just things to move the plot forward. One actor goes to his spot, says his lines, acts his part and then another actor comes in to play her role and say her lines. There's no life in this series.<br /><br />And does Bill Lawrence pay Nicki Whalen by the syllable? She really stands out in group scenes when everyone says something (in one scene Cole even refers to her) but she just has to stand there.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17517257.post-5618377767061637672010-03-11T09:43:07.960-05:002010-03-11T09:43:07.960-05:00I really liked last night's episode and you...I really liked last night's episode and you're dead on. Cole went from being a one-note to half-way interesting. The new characters are getting fleshed out (although Aussie Doc is invisible). Turk seems useless now.
