Scrubs - Season 5

[amazingfantasy15]

I thought I'd start a new Scrubs thread since Season 5 begins next Tuesday, January 3rd. I just got the first two seasons on DVD and am very happy to see that the new season is finally coming on air.

BTW, did a search and the last Scrubs thread was started by a real jack@$$ so I figured I'd start something new.

[Brian2887]

Scrubs is the best show on tv, up there with Arrested Development and The Office. I've been watching religiously since the get-go, and I own the first two seasons on dvd. Brilliant stuff. Everyone in the world should be forced to watch it.

[WallCrawl]

I can't wait for Scrubs to come back. As much as I think the Office is great and My Name is Earl enjoyable, I think it was a mistake to cut down such an awesome show to a 6 episode season.

[ultimatefan]

Scrubs and now Everybody Hates Chris are the only sitcoms I watch religiously. I can´t watch My Name is Earl cuz in my country it plays only on FX and my cable package doesn´t get it... ****.

I rarely get to see any tellevision shows when they actually air, I pretty much have to download everything I want to watch. You should give Earl a download, it's not bad.

Not for me it doesn't. :mad::(

I love Scrubs though, hence my old avvy.

[amazingfantasy15]

First two episodes of this season weren't quite up to par in my opinion, however it could be because I've been watching the first two seasons on DVD this past weekend. Loved the janitor trick in the first episode with the cutouts of JD and the "Man" cards.

[JLBats]

Scrubs
My Name Is Earl
Arrested Development

I absolutely agree, though the "Man" cards were good, there wasn't any bust a gut laugh moments in the first two episodes, though I did think the second one was better than the first.

Of course, I can't wait for Season 3 to come out on DVD either....

I was pretty disappointed with the first episode as well. Not only was it not funny, both the humor and general look/tone of the episode felt different as well. The second episode was better, and the humor felt more familiar (i.e. conjoined twin doctor man thingy)

[amazingfantasy15]

Scrubs
My Name Is Earl
Arrested Development
Everybody Hates Chris
The Office

Too bad one's being cancelled (most likely), one seems to have no support from their network (it seems like NBC just wants to run as many eps as fast as possible for Scrubs by airing two/week) and one's on a network no one really watches. These shows should be leading the way, but they aren't.

I agree with you WallCrawl in the different feel of the episodes, but I couldn't stop laughing about the cutout JD's and Man cards. Although Dr. Cox and the Janitor giving JD crap are always some of my favorite moments on the show.

[Dr Doom]

LOVE THIS SHOW1

[WallCrawl]

I agree with you WallCrawl in the different feel of the episodes, but I couldn't stop laughing about the cutout JD's and Man cards. Although Dr. Cox and the Janitor giving JD crap are always some of my favorite moments on the show.

The cardboard cutout gags were definitely the funniest part of the episode, and of course anytime Dr. Cox does or says anything it's bound to end up a Scrubs classic moment. :D

:up: :up: :up:

Preach!!!!

[Super_Ludacris]

Loved the first episode and watching the second one right now

[Super_Ludacris]

The bit with Elliot with the coffee machine is funny cause they are some just like that lol!
and the cut out JD is funny as hell

[guitarsingerguy]

I thought the Bankfart thing was kinda funny too. :D

[Super_Ludacris]

Whens she snapped into german that was hilarous

[James"007"Bond]

I just want to see more Bob Kelso.

[WildChild]

When is scrubs moving to thursday?

[guitarsingerguy]

I wasn't aware that it was.

[Dr Doom]

IT ISNT, NBC MOVED MY NAME IS EARL AND THE OFFICE TO THURSDAY

[lars573]

Scrubs
My Name Is Earl
Arrested Development
Everybody Hates Chris
The Office

Don't dare compare Scrubs to that collection. Sure Earl is funny myabe now that it's on Thurdays I can actually watch it. I've said what I think about AD (I'm still glad it's going :up: ). Everybody hates Chris is sooo bland and not funny it's painful. The previews for it has all the good jokes. The episodes blow, it proves that if you take away the swearing Chris Rock ain't got nothin. And The Office, the British version sucked and the american one makes me want to put my boot through the TV.

[amazingfantasy15]

Now that's the Scrubs I know and love! Two great episodes tonight, Dr. Kelso pretended to be part of the wall, the Janitor toturing JD, Turk's Kung Fu fighting fantasy, Dr. Cox warning Jordan about talking to Elliot, just a lot of great moments tonight.

[Dr Doom]

I HAVEN'T WATCHED IT YET!!!!

SO SAYS DOOM!!!

-DOOM :doom:

[guitarsingerguy]

The Kung Fu shuffle was freakin' hilarious. Kelso pretending to be part of the wall was funny as all hell too. "Oh come on now Bob. You're three demensional." :D

[Dr Doom]

"I'M PHYSICALLY TOUCHING OYU NOW"

:D

SO SAYS DOOM!!!

-DOOM :doom:

[TheBat812]

Scrubs and Arrested Development are easily the best comedy shows out there.

[Gamma Ray]

The Kung Fu shuffle was freakin' hilarious.


It was funny, but their bodies were jiggling the whole time. They need to firm up. :o

[Super_Ludacris]

Scrubs and Arrested Development are easily the best comedy shows out there.

Yessir

Along with Everybody Hates Chris andThe Office

[Dr Doom]

I AGREE WITH THE OFFICE PART OF YOUR STATEMENT.

SO SAYS DOOM!!!

-DOOM :doom:

[Super_Ludacris]

Love that Everybody Hates Chris show too

oh and Boondocks and Family Guy

Boondocks is sheer genius

[Gamma Ray]

The Office, Arrested Developement, Scrubs and maybe My Name is Earl are the funniest shows on TV. Coincidentally, or pehaps not, none of them are filmed before a studio audience.

The Daily Show is always funny as well.

[guitarsingerguy]

It was funny, but their bodies were jiggling the whole time. They need to firm up. :o

Uhm....that's part of what made it so damn funny. :confused:

[amazingfantasy15]

Thinking about it more I think Scrubs is a little better than the Office and Arrested Development because while being extrememly funny, it can also turn on a dime into a very dramatic show. Everyone always talks about the funny in Scrubs and forget that there are more than a few dramatic parts. Some of the best are with Brendan Fraser's character

[Cap1970]

I loved Dr. Kelso getting busted by Elliot at the free clinic. Granted, they needed to get her back to Sacred Heart, but that was pretty funny.

[amazingfantasy15]

Don't you mean Sacred Fart?

[Super_Ludacris]

Yeah episode 4 was really good

[Cap1970]

Don't you mean Sacred Fart?

That was great!

[Donnie Darko]

"Jerk-off of the Year. No... BASTARD of the Year. No, no, I've got it... Guy I Hate So Much I Would Pay to Have Him Killed and Stuffed and Put Next to My Bed so I Could Punch Him in the Nose Every Morning... of the Year."

ok, I know I didn't get that word for word, but it was great

[Dodger]

Aside from the kung fu fight that when ona tad bit too long, it was great show

[amazingfantasy15]

A stolen buda
4 story wedgie
A completely random Gary Busse cameo
Wow, this show just keeps getting better.

[Gamma Ray]

That was hilarious when the Asian couple came home to the Buddha with the note saying "I missed you". :D:up:

[Matt]

Tonight, the first episode was hillarious, the second episode was pretty good. I wish they would find something to do with Kelso.

My favorite line tonight:

"When the water is poured on that little bastard's head, I swear to you, I will be there."

I'm not wild about J.D. calling Dr.Cox, Perry....I also don't care for Cox's beard.

Ya know, I want Ted's band to come back, I miss them.

[Unleashed]

GARY BUSSE :up:

[amazingfantasy15]

Has John McGinley ever been nominated or won an Emmy or Golden Globe for Scrubs because if he hasn't that's a real crime. His first bit in the first episode and last line in the second were great, completely different, but both delivered perfectly.

[Matt]

Ted's band is back! And they're doing movie songs! :D :D :D

Great episodes though. I love how J.D. is calling himself Turk's Vanilla Bear now.

[Brian2887]

Great episodes. The Wizard of Oz tribute was cute, and handled in a way that wasn't too heavy-handed. As soon as you realized what they were doing, everything fell into place without being too clunky. One of my favorite episodes in a while.

And no, McGinley hasn't really won anything for Scrubs. I'm waiting on him to get a best supporting actor nod somewhere. He's perfect in his role.

[Unleashed]

DAMN PRESIDENT!!!!!:mad:

[amazingfantasy15]

Olympics is gonna interfere with Scrubs even more. We're only gonna get one new episode over the next 3-4 weeks because of the Olympics and an hour and a half version of Fear Factor next week.

[Brian2887]

Don't read if you don't wanna know what's going to happen..


Tonight, on Scrubs:

Mandy Moore plays someone who has the potential to be J.D.'s perfect love match; Elliot offers J.D. relationship advice and tries to help break his bad habit of ruining romantic moments by uttering really inappropriate things. Elsewhere, Turk lip-synchs in an “air band” made up of Sacred Heart regulars; and Carla encourages Dr. Cox to treat a Jehovah's Witness patient. Jordan: Christa Miller. Ted: Sam Lloyd. Lonnie: Michael Hobert.

and then..

J.D.'s friends and colleagues meet Julie (Mandy Moore) and absolutely adore her. Therefore, they worry that “commit-a-phobe” J.D. is going to ruin the relationship, especially after he begins saying his thoughts out loud. Meanwhile, Carla is fuming inside over not being pregnant after two months of trying with Turk. Billy Dee Williams. Jordan: Christa Miller. Mrs. Wilk: Michael Learned. Dr. Matthews: Jay Kenneth Johnson.

[amazingfantasy15]

Great episodes tonight, Billy Dee Williams was awesome in that cameo, the air band stuff was great, relationship intervention, the one doctor getting busted and a bunch more stuff I'm probably forgetting. Only bad thing was the girl on girl kiss was ruined by Elliot in the JD wig.

[Gamma Ray]

GEEKGASM!!! LANDO!!!! :up:

[WildChild]

Both tonights episode's were awsome.LANDO!

[The Apatow Crew]

i liked the two episodes tonight. the sex gong and the saltine game where the best.

and liked whewn mandy's character was introduced and she smacked her head off the table or when there pretending t ohae sex and she calls him her **tch. or how she was so kutzy over everything and everyone.

the look on there faces when they heard the sex gong was priceless though.

[guitarsingerguy]

Man, I love Scrubs so much. The air band stuff was hilarious. Turk made a great frontman. :D

[Gamma Ray]

Air banding = teh awesome

[Cap1970]

Ted's band should have been the back-up singers for the air band, though!

[WildChild]

Yeah the Sex Gong was awsome,But how could anyone break up with Mandy Moore?

[Gamma Ray]

Yeah the Sex Gong was awsome,But how could anyone break up with Mandy Moore?


Three words: "That's so funny!"

It was starting to annoy me! :mad: :up:

[amazingfantasy15]

One of my favorite bits of last night was Jordan's hangover, had me laughing so hard.

[WildChild]

Three words: "That's so funny!"

It was starting to annoy me! :mad: :up:
But she's just so sexy,I would try to teach her how to laugh.

[Venom71]

Air banding = teh awesome
They have a full video up of the "Air Band" :up:
http://www.nbc.com/Scrubs/

[The Apatow Crew]

Three words: "That's so funny!"

It was starting to annoy me! :mad: :up:i would just tune that out andimagine she was saying saomethibg i wated her to say. like "i'm so horny" or something like that.

[Gamma Ray]

i would just tune that out andimagine she was saying saomethibg i wated her to say. like "i'm so horny" or something like that.


LOL! "That's so... MONEY!" :) :up:

[The Apatow Crew]

LOL! "That's so... MONEY!" :) :up:or better yet a excact quote from the show its self.

[Brian2887]

Great two episodes. Loved the air band and the sex gong... not to mention Lando.

I wonder when / if JD's going to get a long-lasting relationship.. I thought Mandy Moore was going to stick around the show longer, like Entourage.

[Donnie Darko]

I gotta admit, I got a little down during the scene when JD tells her that he thinks they could really stick it out, but then she says she's not looking for that. Damn this show for being so freakin funny, then doing that to me.

"I swear on the life of my unborn fish-boy, she will pay."

[The Apatow Crew]

Great two episodes. Loved the air band and the sex gong... not to mention Lando.

I wonder when / if JD's going to get a long-lasting relationship.. I thought Mandy Moore was going to stick around the show longer, like Entourage.who knows mandy could come later in the season like other characters have. i hope she does her and jd where a good couple.

[Happenstance]

I wasnt expecting much from Mandy Moore but I really did like her character, I do hope she returns but I doubt if she does it'll be more than another episode or 2.

[WallCrawl]

I just love the fact that she made the same noise that JD does whenever she fell. :D

[Happenstance]

Yeah I thought that was a nice touch. I noticed Elliot make that noise in one of the episodes recently aswell.

[Happenstance]

This just occured to me. I know JD took Rowdy with him when he moved out of Turk and Carlas. Has anyone noticed him in the background at Elliots apartment yet? I hate to think that he's been written out, if he has do we know if it was the writers choice or the actor wanted to leave?

[Super_Ludacris]

Mandy Moore looked kinda Nice, anyone know if she's back during the season?

[WallCrawl]

This just occured to me. I know JD took Rowdy with him when he moved out of Turk and Carlas. Has anyone noticed him in the background at Elliots apartment yet? I hate to think that he's been written out, if he has do we know if it was the writers choice or the actor wanted to leave?

I doubt he's been written out. He's a recurring gag the writers seem to love, and I'm willing to bet he'l appear again soon. Keep in mind that he Rowdy is only just a little more than a recurring gag/prop, so he can't be written out or off, perse. It's more like they pull him out for bits when they need him.

[Happenstance]

Lol, dont worry I was only joking.

[WallCrawl]

Someone was worrying? :D

[Unleashed]

Now that the ****ing Olympics are over, new episodes tonight!!!

[Super_Ludacris]

Hoo-Hah

[Happenstance]

Yeah definately great news, ive been watching old scrubs eps lately and i mis my new eps!

[Donnie Darko]

oh man, next week is gonna make me sad

[guitarsingerguy]

Son of a.....I forgot they started back tonight. :mad:

[Unleashed]

they were funny

[WildChild]

f*n Cabbage!

[Brian2887]

I was yellin at Cabbage at the end. They handle the drama and sad moments so well, but I hated that.. I mean, I liked it.. but it was so sad. I can't believe they did that to the awesome old lady.

I LOVED the Grey's Anatomy joke. Take that, ABC.

[fallenAngel]

I LOVED the Grey's Anatomy joke. Take that, ABC.

Yeah me too, that was the first thing I thought when I saw a commercial for Greys Anatomy.

[Super_Ludacris]

That was a pretty ****ed up ending even for Scrubs...

[Gamma Ray]

Dr. Mickhead is back!?! Lucky bastard!

That woman is obviously going to die. Damn Cabbage!

[amazingfantasy15]

That ending just shows how great the writers on Scrubs are though, able to turn from comedy to intense drama on a dime. Very reminsicent of Brendan Fraser episodes.

[TheWaterologist]

I missed the seocnd episode, wha happen?

[Archangel]

Janitor got a bird.

[TheWaterologist]

aww, how adorable.

[WallCrawl]

That ending just shows how great the writers on Scrubs are though, able to turn from comedy to intense drama on a dime. Very reminsicent of Brendan Fraser episodes.

Which I was very glad for, since this season JD seems to becoming a parody of himself. His lines and remarks this season were getting sillier and sillier without the introspective monologues to balance his character out. Looks like things are back on track.

[Super_Ludacris]

aww, how adorable.


Sanchez!

[The Apatow Crew]

Son of a.....I forgot they started back tonight. :mad:i know me too. S**T!

[The Apatow Crew]

Sanchez!he named his bird that? typical janitor. i'm surprised he didn't teach it to attack JD.

[Super_Ludacris]

he named his bird that? typical janitor. i'm surprised he didn't teach it to attack JD.

Clearly you did miss this great episode:)

Sanchez! Drop one on Alba muhahhahahahahahaha!!!!

[The Apatow Crew]

Clearly you did miss this great episode:)

Sanchez! Drop one on Alba muhahhahahahahahaha!!!!so he taught his bird to crap on JD? i gotta download this episode then.

you know yoiu like alba why else would you mention her.

[tupelohoney]

[quote=J Alba's Lover]so he taught his bird to crap on JD? i gotta download this episode then.quote]

what do you use to rip episodes?? i keep waiting for scrubs to join the itunes video family.

[Spidey-Bat]

you can see if any torrent sites have them.

[Super_Ludacris]

Yeah videoseed it up

[MarvelMovies]

Tonight was the first episode of Season 5 that I've seen and the season 4 episode that followed was much better, I thought.

Maybe it was just the storyline of the episode... and maybe I just caught a bad episode, but it wasn't really that funny or interesting.

[Spidey-Bat]

I didn't find it very funny either. It was mainly just to wrap up the Mrs. Wilk subplot. It was one of those few emotional episodes that occur once every season or so.

[WallCrawl]

I didn't find it very funny either. It was mainly just to wrap up the Mrs. Wilk subplot. It was one of those few emotional episodes that occur once every season or so.

Emotionally, it wasn't very strong either. Dave Foley was wasted. :(

[Happenstance]

Yeah it wasnt one of their funniest or emotional episodes, I was quite disapointed because last weeks episode set it up so well.

[Gamma Ray]

I can't believe that's Zach's favorite episode. There have been better. I like the one where JD finds out that Janitor had a role in The Fugitive.

"KIMBLE!!!"

[Super_Ludacris]

Emotionally, it wasn't very strong either. Dave Foley was wasted. :(

Personally I thought Jason Bateman was the bigger waste from earlier this season

[MarvelMovies]

I didn't find it very funny either. It was mainly just to wrap up the Mrs. Wilk subplot. It was one of those few emotional episodes that occur once every season or so.

I'd say my favorite "emotional" episode was when Brendan Fraser played Dr. Cox's brother for the last time and was taking photographs throughout, but by the end.... Dr. Cox discovered that he was dead along as they walked to his funeral.

One of my favorite episodes, I'd say.

[MarvelMovies]

I can't believe that's Zach's favorite episode. There have been better. I like the one where JD finds out that Janitor had a role in The Fugitive.

"KIMBLE!!!"

Zach Braff did get to make out with Heather Graham though... twice!

That'd be my favorite moment too

Hahah

[Gamma Ray]

Janitor is awesome.

"KIMBLE!!!!!!"

[Spidey-Bat]

I'd say my favorite "emotional" episode was when Brendan Fraser played Dr. Cox's brother for the last time and was taking photographs throughout, but by the end.... Dr. Cox discovered that he was dead along as they walked to his funeral.

One of my favorite episodes, I'd say.

That was a good episode.

[Archangel]

Anyone ever be hanging around with friends wanting something to watch, and a show you watch but they don't comes on; and you suggest watching it, and it always ends up being that one kinda lackluster episode of the season?

I hate it when that happens.

[MarvelMovies]

Yup, I know what you mean Archangel.

Several of my friends don't watch the same shows as I do (Smallville, The OC, Nip/Tuck) and when I finally get them to sit down and watch an episode... it's like, doh... not this episode

:(

[Super_Ludacris]

I hate it when that happens.


Oh yeah, that's happened to me. Same with movies on tv or variety shows you generally watch.

I remember a few years back Jay and Silent Bob Strike back was rented from blockbuster and I wasnt sure cause although I liked it I wasnt sure the others might, but my friend who hadnt seen it but liked Kevin Smith movies was like yeah let's check that out. Well a couple of the others liked a Kevin Smith movie (they didnt see all of them) so it kinda made sense. Anyway me thinking that everyone in college knew of Jay and Silent Bob was like yeah this is funny **** and they just sat there for the first 30 minutes not getting the jokes or the cross references, expressionless and almost embaressed to be watching.
I was into it but I noticed they werent feeling and I kept turning to my buddy and giving him a look like yo I thought you said they would like this and he gave them a look like "Man dont blame me he picked it" I was like "Muther****er you told me to get the damn movie!!!!":mad: anyways they stopped watching after half an hour and then let the girls watch gay ass Footloose instead which oh they liked, Damn homos:mad:

[Unleashed]

Yup, I know what you mean Archangel.

Several of my friends don't watch the same shows as I do (Smallville, The OC, Nip/Tuck) and when I finally get them to sit down and watch an episode... it's like, doh... not this episode

:(

HAHA, you watch O.C.!!!!:down

[Super_Ludacris]

Lotta people do, there was even a thread here in the forum here but hasnt been upped in a while I think

[Unleashed]

You watch O.C.?!?!?

[Super_Ludacris]

Yeah with my girl every now and then. When I'm over at her place she watches so we just crash on the couch and watch. I never liked, still dont but its the most unintentionally funny **** ever.

[MarvelMovies]

HAHA, you watch O.C.!!!!:down

Heck yes!

You DON'T watch OC, HAHAHA!

:p

[Unleashed]

It's a horrible show

[Donnie Darko]

So you've at least watched it enough to know that it's horrible? It really did start off bad this year, and right when I was about to drop the show, the last few episodes were the strongest of the season.

[MarvelMovies]

It's a horrible show

Then don't watch it and don't bring it up just cause other people watch it.

Obviously, you must've watched it at one point to know that it's a "horrible show" so don't be a hypiocrite and be shocked when others do.

Or, if you've never seen the show and are just judging a conclusion based on what others have said, then that's even worse.

Whatever, as of now... end of discussion and back to Scrubs.

[Spidey-Bat]

I wish I could find my set of scrubs I got from a hospital.

[Spidey-Bat]

I saw a preview for tomorrow's episode(s?). It looks like Carla will get some pregnancy news. I'm guessing she is and has the baby by the end of this season.

[guitarsingerguy]

I saw a preview for tomorrow's episode(s?). It looks like Carla will get some pregnancy news. I'm guessing she is and has the baby by the end of this season.

I saw the preview as well. Could go either way. She may be infertile too.

[Spidey-Bat]

I kind of doubt it since they already did an episode about her fertility. They'll want to get the pregnancy question out if NBC doesn't renew it next season (knock on wood).

[Super_Ludacris]

I'm sure Scrubs will get a season 6

[Spidey-Bat]

The story wasn't as I had predicted. The episode didn't have that many funny moments, but was still pretty good. It's nice to see JD finally got the Janitor.

[guitarsingerguy]

I'm sure Scrubs will get a season 6

I checked Zach Braff's blog at the Garden State site, and he said a 6th season is up in the air. *knocks on wood* I hope this works.

[Spidey-Bat]

As long as the show does well for NBC, I can't see them cancelling it. I really hope it doesn't get cancelled considering I just got into it a little more than a month ago (and managed to see every single episode:))

[amazingfantasy15]

There wasn't as many big laughs in this episode, but it still had some great moments. I really like what NBC is doint with the repeats, having commentary on the website, that's pretty damn cool.

[Spidey-Bat]

It is a pretty good idea. You don't have to wait for the DVD this way.

[Brian2887]

Not a bad episode tonight. I enjoyed back bacon and the watchie-talkies. Actually, I laughed out loud quite a few times, but I'm having trouble recalling at what...

[Super_Ludacris]

Does anyone with knowledge on TV ratings know the status of the Office and Scrubs for next season?

[Dodger]

Funny Episode. I like the jnitor scene in the beginning. Popsicle You, was funny.

I'm also enjoying the cast favorites episodes.Also, Im not looking forward to "teachers", it looks so forced and badly acted.

[krpton2]

Scurbs season 5 should have high ratings. I can't wait to get every season on dvd.

[WallCrawl]

Season 5 is a little lackluster for me. But to be fair, Season four is a hard season to beat.

[The Apatow Crew]

does anyone else find it hilarious when jd calls turk brown bear.

that was great when they where talking on the watches.

[Brian2887]

Season 5 is a little lackluster for me. But to be fair, Season four is a hard season to beat.


Really? Most fans talk about how 4 was the weakest season so far. Personally, though, I've loved every season. There's no show on tv that comes close to Scrubs, as far as I'm concerned.

[Spidey-Bat]

Really? Most fans talk about how 4 was the weakest season so far. Personally, though, I've loved every season. There's no show on tv that comes close to Scrubs, as far as I'm concerned.

I felt 4 was the worst of all of them (still enjoyed it). I think 2 and 3 are the best.

[MarvelMovies]

Great episode and I especially liked the sitcom one that aired after the new one

:D

Makes me want to rewatch the rest of the seasons

[WallCrawl]

Really? Most fans talk about how 4 was the weakest season so far. Personally, though, I've loved every season. There's no show on tv that comes close to Scrubs, as far as I'm concerned.

Really? I didn't know that. While I suppose I can see what they mean, it still had hilarious moments that made me laugh out loud, just as season 3 did.

[Brian2887]

Tonight, on Scrubs:

When Dr. Cox scoffs at reading lines with a patient preparing for a play, J.D. urges Cox and his fellow doctors to do special, unconventional things for their patients, but when J.D. scores a date with a hot babe who loves his hair, he's not sure he can shave his head for a woman undergoing chemo. Turk and Carla attempt to eliminate all the stress in their lives to better their chances of conceiving, but Turk has to compete for a surgical resident spot and Carla loses Dr. Kelso's VIP patient. Meanwhile, Elliot showers new boyfriend Keith (Travis Schuldt) with stupid gifts. Neil Flynn also stars.

[Spidey-Bat]

Neil Flynn still isn't a regular:confused:

[Brian2887]

Yeah, he is. I think that was just added at the end because he's not mentioned in any of the major plot points happening in the episode. He'll probably have a smaller role tonight.

[Brian2887]

Not a bad episode tonight.. Mr. Prick.

[Unleashed]

i laughed alot more than usual

[Spidey-Bat]

This had some really good Kelso moments.

The preview for next week had Carla finding out she's pregnant. So I'm guessing she'll have the baby by the season finale.

[Matis17]

Is JD gonna be bald for the rest of the season?

[Spidey-Bat]

I doubt it.

[Unleashed]

I'd like it for at least a couple more episodes.

[Gamma Ray]

Is JD gonna be bald for the rest of the season?


They're not too bad with continuity with this show, but Zach's hair really defines him/his character. Who knows?

[WallCrawl]

i laughed alot more than usual

I was laughing out loud pretty much a minute into the show.

Carla: He is not allowed to dream about me. It gets to freaky in there.

Turk: Cirque-du-Soleil freaky. One time, she was skinless.

I also liked the side switch alot. :up:

[Brian2887]

Tonight on Scrubs! (spoilers do follow)








Turk accidentally learns that Carla is pregnant before she does, so J.D. convinces Turk to tell the entire hospital staff so they can all surprise Carla with the joyous news. But when Carla confides to Turk that she can't wait for the day when she can personally share her baby news with the world, Turk and J.D. have to quickly figure out how to contain hospital gossip until Carla can make the discovery on her own. Meanwhile, J.D. tricks the Janitor into swallowing a tiny GPS tracking device. Later, when Elliott puts Dr. Cox into an embarrassing situation, he decides to get even with Elliott through Keith and Carla.

[Spidey-Bat]

It'll be interesting to see how they can contain the gossip, especially with Laverne.

[WallCrawl]

It'll be interesting to see how they can contain the gossip, especially with Laverne.

Physical restraints and a closet will probably have to come into play.

[Matt]

"When Turk first told me you were pregnant"...

haha, I lost it.

[Spidey-Bat]

Anyone catch the Office Space reference?

[Cap1970]

Anyone catch the Office Space reference?

The stapler?

[Gamma Ray]

Best line: "ABORT THE PLAN! ABORT THE BABIES!"

[The Apatow Crew]

Best line: "ABORT THE PLAN! ABORT THE BABIES!"i know i laughed my ass at that. i choked on my drink when i heard him say that and pop the baby balloon.

[Spidey-Bat]

The stapler?

Yep.

"Abort the baby!" was a good line.

[Brian2887]

Great episode. Only thing is, I'm starting to get a little peeved that Kelso isn't doing as much as he used to. I wish this show was an hour, just so we could see all the great characters. Really, there's just no character I don't like.

[Happenstance]

Yeah its a shame there doesnt seem to be enough time for all the great characters. The Todd hasnt done too much this season really either, or Ted.

[Brian2887]

Ted had the good air band episode. Todd has sorta faded more into the background, though...

Good news, though. Season 5 is being offered on iTunes now. Whoo!

[Dodger]

The tood has never had an episode that was around him has he?

[amazingfantasy15]

I don't think the FCC would let a Todd-centric episode to be put on air.

[WildChild]

Last night's episode was great.Abort the babies!

[Spidey-Bat]

Yeah its a shame there doesnt seem to be enough time for all the great characters. The Todd hasnt done too much this season really either, or Ted.

The only big thing that's happened with Todd was his 4-story wedgie from the Janitor.

[The Hero]

Nice to see another reference of the Janitor's alleged brother-dad.:up:

[Spidey-Bat]

A rather boring episode tonight. The only funny part was when Todd walked in on Elliot and Jordan's talk about Cox.

[Unleashed]

I liked Cox's white noise face, then the thunder when Elliot and Jordan made the double date.

[WildChild]

Todd's evil eye was great.

[Gamma Ray]

"You don't like Cox?"
"I love Cox!"

[amazingfantasy15]

Dr. Cox's happy place face was great, then the thunder comes in, "Something very bad has happened."

[Brian2887]

I laughed several times again.. I enjoyed the episode, especially when JD walked in to see Keith and Dr. Cox dressed alike. Man, I love this show.


Oh, and we got some Todd moments, which was awesome. That's been missing lately.

[Super_Ludacris]

Damn this has mysteriously not been on torrent.

Was it good? I missed it playing basketball last night

[Brian2887]

I enjoyed it, but there are very few episodes of Scrubs I haven't enjoyed.

iTunes should have it up for $1.99.

[Spidey-Bat]

I enjoyed the episode, especially when JD walked in to see Keith and Dr. Cox dressed alike. Man, I love this show.

That was pretty funny, but they need to tone down JD's gayness a bit. He's been more gay this season than any other after he dumped Julie.

[The Apatow Crew]

That was pretty funny, but they need to tone down JD's gayness a bit. He's been more gay this season than any other after he dumped Julie.turk is his brown bear what do you expect?

i just laugh all the time when he calls him that.

[Brian2887]

Tonight, on Scrubs:


When J.D.'s underachieving brother Dan (Thomas Cavanagh) returns for a surprise visit, Elliott learns that J.D. has been telling Dan that she's still into him, but when the truth comes out, Dan turns to the Janitor to get back at J.D. As everyone reacts to the pregnancy in different ways, Carla and Turk begin to discuss baby names, and despite his promise to Carla, Turk is unable to keep quiet about their initial choices. After assigning someone else to assist "sweaty Teddy" (Sam Lloyd) with incoming malpractice claim paperwork, Dr. Cox is caught off guard when Dr. Kelso steps in to stick him with the job. Meanwhile, a patient with weight-related problems needs an MRI, but the staff has to come up with a solution when they find he's too big for the machine.

[Spidey-Bat]

Tonight's episode seems promising.

[Brian2887]

I wasn't that impressed . . . It was ok.

[Spidey-Bat]

It was pretty disappointing. Other than the janitor's rant about his 46-year-old adopted brother, there wasn't anything really funny.

[The Hero]

It was redeemed by the House line.

[Matis17]

I much more enjoyed the season 5 repeat before it. I'm a "late in the game" fan of this show so I don't know: Has J.D.'s brother been on the show before? All I can say is that I didn't find him very funny in this episode, which is the first I've seen him in. I found the character kind of lame actually. The stuff involving Ted was the best thing about this episode IMO.

[The Apatow Crew]

sweaty teddy.

lol!

[Brian2887]

I'll admit, the Ted staring contests were funny, especially when Dr. Cox wasn't even looking at him.

[WallCrawl]

It was pretty disappointing. Other than the janitor's rant about his 46-year-old adopted brother, there wasn't anything really funny.

It was such a throwaway episode. The conflicts were way too typical, superficial and wrapped up in such a clichéd, sitcomish manner. :(

He appeared in Season 2 and Season 4. I thought this was his best appearence mainly b/c of his "I almost had a three-some with that guy." line.

[The Apatow Crew]

that "I almost had a three-some with that guy." line was great though.

[Brian2887]

HOLY CRAP! BIG SPOILER FROM SPOILERFIX.COM! READ AT YOUR OWN RISK. I'M A LITTLE PISSED I READ IT, SO BE WARNED. IT'S A DOOZY!





Carla isn't the only one expecting.

[Spidey-Bat]

Who could it be? There's really only 1 other option, and it seems unlikely, unless Elliot and JD sleep together again and he knocks her up. I actually thought of that happening, but it just seemed so cheesy.

[Brian2887]

Well, Jordan could be having another.. Maybe one of JD's exes will come back pregnant or come back and get pregnant, like Dr. Molly Clock (Heather Graham) or Julie Quinn (Mandy Moore). It might not be Elliot. Maybe JD having a baby somewhere will help him settle down and grow up.

[WallCrawl]

Why can't it be Elliot and Kieth? There was all that joking about them and pregnancy in the last episode, maybe they have a pregnancy scare.

[Spidey-Bat]

But didn't Jordan say she didn't want anymore kids (which made Cox reverse the reverse vasectomy).

Why can't it be Elliot and Kieth? There was all that joking about them and pregnancy in the last episode, maybe they have a pregnancy scare.

He put on 3 condoms this week, I don't think his boys are breaking out of that.

We'll know in a couple of weeks.

[Matis17]

We'll know in a couple of weeks.There's always that .0000000000000000000000001% chance.

[WallCrawl]

He put on 3 condoms this week, I don't think his boys are breaking out of that.

I think they've had, or will have sex more than once. A pregnancy scare episode doesn't have to be directly tied to a sex gag from the previous episode.

[Super_Ludacris]

lol @ the episode

"He's like the daughter you never had. Only gayer and unsuccessful"

Dr. Cox>>>>>>> Dr. House

He truley is House without the limp

[Spidey-Bat]

Tonight is a new episode.

His Story III
Turk and Carla turn J.D.'s old bedroom into a nursery for the baby. The Janitor seizes an opportunity to shove J.D. out of the picture for a day. Elliot uses her mother to learn information about Keith's peers. Turk accuses Dr. Cox of not being hip.

I wonder whose POV it will be told in. I'm guessing Turk.

[Donnie Darko]

that was a really good episode, really shows that the Janitor isn't a COMPLETE dick

[Spidey-Bat]

It was more touching than funny. The only funny part was when Janitor imagined what it'd be like if he wasn't here and his vision was the pregnant nurse not being pregnant.

[Donnie Darko]

haha, yeah, that was great... but like you said, it was more touching than funny, I love this show

[Brian2887]

I think the nursery scenes in the beginning about made up for the more touching Janitor stuff. I mean, Turk's line: "You're just jealous because your mom is dead."

Brilliant.

[Matis17]

I loved this one. And man, can I call em or what?

[Happenstance]

I really enjoyed this episode aswell, especially the Janitors mop head joke :p

[amazingfantasy15]

Dr. Cox's face when he saw Turk in the minivan was great, also his rant about Turk not being black was perfect. Loved the mural in the nursary.

[Spidey-Bat]

I wonder how much of this was improvised since Neil Flynn usually improvises his lines.

[Unleashed]

Loved the mural

[Gamma Ray]

Pretty intense episode.

[Spidey-Bat]

I think he's bi. He had some great moments tonight. Tonights episode was really good.

[Unleashed]

AHHH, SPOILERS!!!!

I Tivoed it

[Brian2887]

That episode was amazing. The Todd stuff was hilarious, but then it turned on a dime and became so heartfelt. By the end, I was tearing up.

[Venom71]

That was a great episode...I will admit..I teared up.

[Unleashed]

i shall watch it after House

[Spidey-Bat]

AHHH, SPOILERS!!!!

I Tivoed it

Then don't come here, fool.

[Unleashed]

I love Todd's moment

[Unleashed]

wow, this episode far surpassed the rest.

[Donnie Darko]

yeah, it really was a great episode... great reference to motorboating

[Brian2887]

I think he's bi. He had some great moments tonight. Tonights episode was really good.

I don't think he's bi.. He'll just do anything that moves. He's The Todd.

[Matt]

Is Dr.Cox gone? What the hell? He'll be back, right? I can't believe you guys are talking about the Todd's sexuality over the Cox storyline.

[Anubis]

Man, tonight was a really good episode. Johnny C deserves a freakin Emmy right now.

[amazingfantasy15]

I watched the first two seasons of ER and the first season and quite a few episodes of the second season of Gray's Anatomy and neither show ever comes close to when Scrubs hits drama mode. Maybe it's the comedy before and in between, but the show just works so well as a drama and comedy it's totally amazing. I'm with you Matt, the Todd's sexuality was funny, but Dr. Cox owned the episode. Can't wait till next episode cause it's supposed to deal with Cox's failure even more.

[Brian2887]

Cox will bounce back. It may take a while, but he can't have left the show. He's the best thing on it.

But dammit, that storyline is way too touching. I was seriously almost crying by the end.

[Happenstance]

Twas definately a great episode, shame that we'll never get to see Miss Tracy again now either, I quite liked her character popping up every now and again.

Oh man, thats gonna be rough on Cox. :(

Anyone else hope Elliot is somewhat effected by Jill's death? I mean, they bonded quite a bit during her stays...it seems stupid to have Elliot just shrug it off.

[Happenstance]

I think its a bit late now, it would have made sense for her to be depressed aswell. They had become friends and even if they'd grown apart she'd still be upset when she heard Jill died.

I've caught some episodes of ER, never seen Grey's Anatomy. One of the reasons Scrubs could have more impactive drama moments is because the characters are more real than the other shows.

[Gamma Ray]

I watched the first two seasons of ER


Try season 8. There isn't one episode in that season where you don't feel like sad at the end. Especially Beyond Repair, The Beach and The Letter.

[cerealkiller182]

I agree 100%


John C. McGinley(Dr. Cox) is one of the most under-rated actors of all time. I want to see him in more things, at least not playing some a-hole (see: Se7en, Point Break). The only time I have seen him out of character in Identity, which he came off as more annoying then a talented actor.

[Spidey-Bat]

McGinley probably isn't in much b/c he enjoys doing Scrubs now. Once that is over, he'll probably go back to movies or continue in TV. He is a great actor.

BTW, he was also in Office Space.

[lateforwork]

He was great in Office Space!! I always forget.

[Spidey-Bat]

Just saw next week's summary on TV.com

Dr. Cox starts drinking after his decisions result in the death of three of his patients. The staff tries to cover for him at the hospital while everyone tries to convince him how inspiring he is for them. Turk starts his new rotation with orthopedic surgery, but isn't so fond of his attending doctor's touchy-feely methods. Thus, J.D. and the Janitor attempt to help Turk find ways to bond with his new supervisor.

[The Hero]

He played a very un-McGinley character in Platoon.

[Unleashed]

He was in Office Space?

He was one of the Bobs.

(the message is not meant for anyone)

[Unleashed]

Oh yeah, not a very bitg part

[Brian2887]

Ya know, I downloaded this ep as soon as it became available on iTunes, and I can't stop watching it. The damn thing is brilliant.

[Matt]

Is anyone else sick of th entire Dr.Cox issue of the week this season? First it was Dr. Cox's father beat him and his sister. Now it is going to be Dr. Cox the alcoholic. I don't mind dramatic episodes (this episode was great)...but don't turn him into the poster boy for "very special episodes"

[Super_Ludacris]

Dr. Cox>>> you

and that was a sad episode but Dr. Cox is the best character on the show so it's all good whether it's comedy or drama it's still compelling

[Happenstance]

I want Heather Graham to come back to Scrubs. I really did like Dr Molly Clock on the show.

[Spidey-Bat]

Not really. He's only mentioned his problems, but they did touch on them when his sister came to visit and now this week. I hope Jordan is the one who brings him out his slump rather than JD.

[Donnie Darko]

Man, tonight was a really good episode. Johnny C deserves a freakin Emmy right now.

I agree 100%. I was actually thinking that at the end.

[TheBat812]

this show kicks so much ass. I can't wait to see how Cox handles this.

My favorite episode would have to be the one where Ben dies, because it's just so damn well-written, and so damn sad when you finally realize that he's gone. As somebody else said, Scrubs is able to hit that drama, and I think the reason is that we really feel involved with the characters, and know them so well. The writers are also just damn talented.

[Dodger]

does anyone the name of the song that was playing at the end of the show during Cox's meltdown?

[Brian2887]

The Fray - How to Save a Life

[amazingfantasy15]

I think the drama in the show works so well because it always catches you offguard. The comedy disarms you, the show gets you into this nice easygoing state of mind that you're not expecting a dramatic moment. However, the dramatic moment is also handled without any heavyhandedness, it doesn't seem out of place because it was always lurking just beneath the comedy and works perfectly with the story.

[Gamma Ray]

JD's "The More You Know" commercial fantasy was hilarious!

[Spidey-Bat]

I thought that was funny too. I wish the Donkey Boy was gonna be a subplot like the Pig Man in Seinfeld.
