Scrubs (season 4) ongoing thread (1 Viewer)

Another great episode. Saw on Yahoo this morning that Matthew Perry will be doing a guest shot in November and Julianna Margulies will be on during sweeps. I loved Chuck Woolery's cameo last night.

Perry will be DIRECTING and guest starring. I'm actually NOT a Friends fan (and I never liked Chandler Bing, on the show or in any of his movies), but it makes sense. Maybe some of the Friends viewers will check it out. I'm more excited for Julianna Margulies.



In truth, the show has a great record for guest appearances, so I'm not too worried. I don't want it to become "Will and Grace and Special Guest Star", but little chance of that.



Good episode last night with Ed (whatever his real name is

) showing up.



Take care,

Chuck

Ed = Tom Kavanaugh, but he'll forever be "Ed" when I see him in other roles as well, even when I see his "pre-Ed" roles.

 

[Thomas H G]

Glad to see Ed and it made me realize that I miss his show.



I was wondering if they were ever gonna do a JD's dad is dead ever since John Ritter passed. I'm happy it came out soo well. Lots of funny moments in this episode. When Cox saw the Janitor and Ted swinging outside the window and he says "oh, that's what the crane was for" was great to me.

 

[Travis Hedger]

Loved last nights episode. The Sanford and Son theme in the background during the "kiss" scene was over the top.

 

[ZacharyTait]

Damn you NBC for canceling Ed! I hope they bring it to DVD quickly.



Seeing Tom on the show made me wish NBC would put him on his own show again.



"I have an ear infection."



"Ok. Go in and drop your pants."



LOL.

Wow. This is about my 3rd episode but I love love love this show. I love the shows that are so unbound by cookie cutter genre cliches. The humor is surrealistically hilarious (Sanford and Son theme.

) that you can only think this could fit in some hairbrained wacky wacky comedy and then BAM, it alternates to rather touching drama (The janitor's faint nod to J.D.) . The best shows are the ones that bend the genre and can switch gears without blinking. (All Whedon shows, Sports Night, The West Wing) I can't wait for this one to come out on DVD which should proably happen next year due to syndication issues.

 

[Chris White]

This continues to be absolutely the funniest show on television. I love this show and last night's episode was superb. Hilarious and poignant - how many shows can do that?

 

[Tom McA]

Interesting the things they tweak after shooting. I guess "One" hug per year is infinitely funnier than "two". Anyone else notice Cox's blatant lip-sync mismatch during that line?

 

[ZacharyTait]

I noticed that too Tom. Hopefully it won't happen again. It reminded me of Japanese kung-fu films dubbed in English for some reason.



Hopefully with the exit of Frasier, Friends, and Sex and the City, it opens the door for Scrubs to be nominated for Best Comedy at next year's Emmy's. I know Everyone Loves Raymond will be nominated since this is it's last year.



Off topic; anyone know if Fox plans on airing reruns of Arrested Development before the new season starts or will the DVD come out before then? I'm too lazy to look it up.

 

[Kevin Porter]

AD comes out on DVD next Tuesday and I encourage everyone with a funny bone to buy it.

 

[Patrick Sun]

Also, FX will have an AD marathon starting noon on Saturday (but consult your local listings).



Okay, back to Scrubs!

 

[Peter Kim]

Turning out to be my favorite show. Joey hasn't hit its stride/misses the mark, and Will & Grace is becoming noise.



I quite enjoy the side notes of the janitor, the chief of staff, and the angry doctor (sorry for the lack of names - just starting to watch this regularly after missing the first few? seasons...thank god for BitTorrent & Suprnova).

 

[MattGentry]

Janitor - Neil Flynn

Chief of staff - Bob Kelso

Angry doctor - Perry Cox

 

[ZacharyTait]

Thanks for the info Kevin and Pat!

 

[ThomasC]

You got Kelso and Cox right, but Janitor's name is just Janitor. Neil Flynn is the actor's name.

 

[Marty M]

This show is definitely "hitting its stride" now. IMO, it is the best sitcom on TV, next to Arrested Development. I also got nostalgic for Ed when I saw Tom Cavanaugh. Nice subtle tribute to John Ritter.

 

[Jean D]

The Daydream's JD has are hilarious, mainly the end where Turk goes in to kiss him, and JD wakes up and says something along the lines "Im not into Gay Chocolate Jungle Love Fever!" I must have laughed for a good minute, I had to pause the tivo so not to miss the next scene.

 

[Nathan_F]

Ahh.. but Neil Flynn is Janitor's "name". Janitor is "Neil Flynn, the out of work actor who played a cop in the movie 'The Fugitive'"
