It's my personal choice because of how, at the end, it's revealed to the audience but not J.D. or the others that Carla had switched shifts to be by their sides. Which was both a pleasant reminder of her sympathetic nature and a nice little dig at the egotism and narcissism of the frazzled young docs--something the show used to do quite well fairly often its first few years, though recent displays have been rather broader and less humane.<BR/><BR/>I'm probably biased in that Carla's my favorite character, however.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17517257.post-43780557133893293992007-10-24T02:33:00.000-04:002007-10-24T02:33:00.000-04:00All great choices.

McGinley smash Colin's guitar.<BR/><BR/>"My Brother, Where Art Thou?" - Dan sacking up to Cox at the end of this episode, reminding him that he is JD's mentor and role model no matter what gets me<BR/><BR/>"My Cake" - again, duh<BR/><BR/>"My Common Enemy" - a fun episode for Heather Graham especially as she gets in the cab with her big hat at the end<BR/><BR/>"My Best Moment" - tugs at my heart pretty well<BR/><BR/>"My Life in Four Cameras" - that gutshot when they cut back to one camera out of JD's fantasy is awesome<BR/><BR/>"My Way Home" - anytime Sam Lloyd sings is a good time, but this episode would rock even without<BR/><BR/>"My Lunch/My Fallen Idol" - you'd think they'd kill off a few more of their recurring patients to get highs like this. Richard Kind is going down this season, I'm sure of it.<BR/><BR/>"My Own Private Practice Guy" - some great bits with Jay Mohr, and the reveal on Cox's marital problems is well played.<BR/><BR/>"My No Good Reason/My Long Goodbye" - duh.<BR/><BR/>"My Friend the Doctor" - I always like when Janitor gets humanizedR.A.

Those were, in my opinion, always the best. <BR/><BR/>Off the top of my head, here are some of my favorites:<BR/><BR/>"My Old Lady:" Self explanatory<BR/><BR/>"My Bed Banter and Beyond": The evolution and devolution of JD and Elliot in a single, super sized episode.<BR/><BR/>"My Monster": JD gets his mojo back to the tune of Coral's "Dreaming of You"<BR/><BR/>"My Jiggly Ball": The best Kelso episode ever where we see that at the end of the day, Kelso's hardass act, is just that, an act for the other doctors<BR/><BR/>"My Occurrence": The first Brendan Fraser episode.<BR/><BR/>"My Nickname": The episode where Carla and JD have a fight over his nickname of Bambi, and we hear Sebadoh's "On Fire" as Carla demands JD tell her that he thinks he's better than her or they can never be friends. A crying shame though that this song was replaced on the DVD set. Scrubs, along with My Name Is Earl, are two comedies that often have great music, that never makes it to the DVD. Hence, why you might want to hold on to your downloaded, TIVO's, DV-R'ed episodes.<BR/><BR/>"My Lunch": Further proof that "Gray's Anatomy" is nothing more than a rip off of the show, using "How To Save a Life" in the exact same manner that "Scrubs" does weeks later.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17517257.post-61589573196020562632007-10-23T23:53:00.000-04:002007-10-23T23:53:00.000-04:00The one where they show The Janitor in The Fugitiv...The one where they show The Janitor in The Fugitive is "My Friend The Doctor." <BR/><BR/>Another good one from season 3 is "My Dirty Secret."

"My Way Home" cannot be left off the list. And I agree that the original Ben episode(s) may deserve a place as well. After all, "My Screwup" was only a pretty good episode until the ending. But I can't believe nobody's mentioned either "My Catalyst" or (especially) "My Porcelain God," both with Michael J. Fox. (Come on, an epiphany toilet?
