The best show on NBC (sorry Earl and Office) returned tonight. It's a great show that has been, like most funny and original shows, overlooked by the masses. It was nominated for best comedy this past year. I highly recommend it.
As an added bonus, Sarah Chalke is looking real good lately too.
Scrubs return eases my pain over the likely demise of Arrested Developement. That said, I found last nights shows to be a little bit of a let down. I can't quite put my finger on the problem but the vibe was different. Although I do appreciate that fact that they let a chick fart on TV.
I was so happy to see Scrubs back last night, and I was not disappointed with either episode.
I am rarely disappointed with this show, and hope the ratings improve so we get a full season next year.
I like the show, but I agree that it was good but not the greatest last night.
I expect the next few episodes to be more up to par. I think the wait led to the mild letdown.

Elliot gets hotter every season...as does Jordan.
This is a good show, but I just can't find time to watch it.
My problem is that sports overtakes anything on TV. So for six months in the summer, I watch literally nothing else during primetime. So I don't build up a loyalty to certain shows.
Even during the MLB off-season, there's Sunday and Monday night football and other various sporting events that interrupt regular viewing too often.
Plus, most of the stuff is crap on TV anyway. If there was a set lineup that I enjoyed, I would probably get into a rythm. But since Scrubs and According to Jim (don't ask -- I don't even know why) are the only two shows I can even watch, I don't get into any sort of primetime sitcom viewing rhythm.
The only stuff I watch are the reruns, which I watch before primetime and sometimes after primetime, when I'm home. But even those post-prime shows I often miss becuase I'm out.
The only thing that I'm usually home for, awake for, and enjoy are the late, late shows like the rerun of Conan and Family Guy and Futurama. But even those I sometimes miss due to nights out on the town.
EDIT: Wow, talk about rambling. I hope you all enjoyed this in-depth analysis of my entire tv-viewing habits.
Can we just chalk this up to a 3:30 AM post and move on?
I tried to get into this show when it first started airing...but I can't. I don't know if it just isn't my type of humor, or if I just expect a show with doctors to be more dramatic. But it doesn't work for me. I like Zach Braff quite a bit, though.
The things you see, the way you see them, will never be seen again.
Let's go through life, livin' on luck, bettin' ten thousand to ten.
One of the few television programmes, sports excepted, that I make an effort to watch. Cracking stuff.
It is funny but was over the top in the goofy department with the whole backpack thing.
It's a really really funny show. I'd have to say that Scrubs is in the Top 6 funniest shows on TV (maybe even best shows).
My list would be (in no order):
Office
Earl
Scrubs
A.D.
Simpsons
Family Guy
24
Monk
I'm sure there are a couple more...
I love Scrubs, buy I always miss it.
I use to watch it religiously the first couple of seasons, but I've just lost my way the last couple of years. Hope to start watching the show again. Zach B. is great!!
Opening show gets a C-. I fell asleep during the second one.
Let the kids play.
New episode on right now. Good stuff already
I guess nobody watched. Well you all missed 2 good episodes. I love how they have 2 new ones a week to make up for the 3 months they missed. You also missed Elliot with her top open.
Right on RYF!! I like Scrubs ,The Office and then Earl.Funny thing was my family and I were talking about this last night and then I saw this and thought how Ironic.I also like Two and Half Men ,KOQ and Yes Dear.
I watched! I watched! Much better than last week. Funny stuff.Originally Posted by RhodyYanksFan
I saw it. Funny stuff. It would be really cool if they had Scrubs, Will and Grace, Earl and Office on the same night...
I watched last might and have seen all 6 episodes in the last 3 weeks. I have enjoyed all of them and hope they keep this show around for a long time.
Dr. Cox is in the top 5% of sitcom characters of all time.
Damn! I missed it. I haven't gotten my DVR and TiVo set up the way I want it yet. My TiVo taped American Idol instead of Scrubs so I guess I'll have to set Scrubs up on the DVR.

You have Tivo AND DVR?
Oh yeah. Just call me TV junkie! Sad, I know.

Dr Cox ,sorry forgot his real name was interviewed by ESPN radio last year and said he was a huge Yankee fan.I wish he would trade in the Red Wing Jersey for a Yankee one .
Tuesday, January 24 is the 100th episode. Zach Braff directs.http://www.tv.com/scrubs/my-way-home...3/summary.html
In a "Wizard of Oz" homage, J.D. is tries to go home, Turk searches for a heart donor and Carla worries that she doesn't have the courage to become a parent. Meanwhile, Eliot doesn't believe she has the brains to lead a question and answer session. The Janitor is is painting color-coded lines throughout the hospital for easier navigation.
The funniest episode ever!!!

That episode was brilliant. One of the best.
If I had 3 wishes... One of my wishes would be to make a select few of you Pirates Fans.
That's my new away message.
So good. I was laughing my ass off in the first 3 minutes.
I love Scrubs. BTW what is your sig about?
If I tell you I'll have to kill you
That's no fun.
I just watched the episode from this week that I had Tivo'd. So is this the end for Dr. Cox? He's easily the best character on that show (or one of the best characters of any show), and it would be really sad if he wasn't part of the show anymore. I thought I had read that the ratings were up for Scrubs this year, and that the actor who plays him (John McGinley) really loved playing Dr. Cox. I haven't done any research on this, but I would think I would have heard something about him leaving the show. Or maybe it's just part of a dramatic suspense-building story line for May sweeps? Eh, who knows...
Anyone have any ideas?

you said it...May sweeps. That's my opinion.
I hope they would do whatever it takes to keep Dr. Cox on the show. He's without a doubt one of the funniest characters on tv. I missed the show this week. What happened?
In a nutshell, JD loses a patient. Cox takes JD to lunch to comfort him, tells him he's seen doctors never come back after blaming themselves for a patient dying, that JD is too good of a doctor for that to happen to. JD buys it. A few twists and turns later, Cox loses a patient, looks distraught, and starts to walk out of the ER. JD says "just like you told me, if you leave you might never come back", and Cox says words to the effect of "yeah, I know...", and shuts the door behind him and walks away. Roll credits...

Little melodramatic for Scrubs if you ask me. Unless he's getting his own show, he better be back. Is it new tonight?
I definitely think it's a sweeps thing. There is no way that Cox leaves the show. No way.
2009 - World Champion New York Yankees!!
Yeah, apparently - and Dr. Cox is still on it.

OK so the psycho Secret Service agent from Prisonbreak is also a surgeon on Scrubs now?
Damn, the Janitor is mad funny but freaky!
I thought last nights episode was great! I am not sure new viewers would appreciate what went on between JD and Dr. Cox at the end, but I thought it was really a great moment in the show.
This show rarely disappoints...one of the few "must see" network shows left, although My Name is Earl has really grown on me.
Agreed.

Anyone know if this is the last season or not?

Lokks like Scrubs is on the bubble with NBC, but ABC is waiting to take if if NBS passes.
I just don't get it...I hope NBC passes and ABC takes it...and then it becomes a top 10 hit with a regular time slot.
Further proof of the dumbing down of America. Apparantly we really need to be told when to laugh (laugh track).
Arrested Development
Sports Night
Scrubs
Lucky
all cancelled because the rubes don't "get it" when they each had the best writing of any other show on at the same time. Just because there's no fake laughs doesn't mean it's not funny.
I love the new Thursday night lineup! This has "must see TV" potential. Thank goodness Scrubs is back
Who else has been watching?

I love Scrubs and I love Zach Braff...I don't care what anyone says about him!

Scrubs, Office and 30 Rock are funnier then anything on any other network right now. Glad NBC is bringing comedies back.
Shoulda thought of it last week, but Sarah Chalke could be in the HFC.
Christa Miller, (who plays Dr. Cox's wife), is pretty sexy too.
