Scrubs

By Danny Gallagher The a cappella quartet made their small screen debut on Scrubs as Ted's band The Worthless Peons, played by Sam Lloyd, Philip McNiven, George Miserlis and Paul F. Perry (not to be confused with Ted's air band The Cool Cats that was just a brief side project when they probably failed to win tho...

By Danny Gallagher I sat down with Lloyd and fellow band member Philip McNiven to talk about their a cappella music group The Blanks for a feature interview that we'll post soon. In the meantime, enjoy their famous rendition of "Over the Rainbow" to give this sad moment the solemn tone it deserves.

By Bob Sassone The latest celebrity death rumor that turned out to be false was the one about Scrubs star Zach Braff. He didn't kill himself by taking pills. To prove it, Braff has made the video below. He calls the guy who started the fake rumor (he even created a fake CNN page to make it more believable) a "douc...

By Jason Hughes Now that we're past the introductions, it's time to start getting a feel for what this show is going to be like. I'm guessing that they're still trying to figure out everybody's personality, and it's going to take time to get it right. Not to mention that it will probably take a few episodes to g...

By Joel Keller I like the actors. I like the premise. There were a lot of funny lines. I even like the fact that Lawrence re-shot certain scenes to make them sound like they're from a more female point of view. But even in the pilot, you can see signs that this show can devolve into something more cartoonish than r...

 CA That being said, CA would fit well in either a starring or ensemble role and I look forward to her next role. One note CA, comedies that have funny scripts don't need laugh tracks or audiences laughing. Get one ala Scrubs, Earl, Arrested Development, ...

By Joel Keller Notice that there was no drama between Elliot and J.D. about his job switch and move. The only thing that came close was Elliot saying that they should just go for it and live together, like Gooch and Ted are about to do. Bill Lawrence is really sticking to his guns on this one, making it so not about...

By Joel Keller We end the episode with J.D. wanting to move closer to Kim and Sam. Knowing that the finale isn't going to be about J.D. and Elliot (Lawrence has talked about that a number of times), I'm curious to see if Eliot decides to go up there with him right away or decides to stay at Sacred Heart for awhile. But...

By Joel Keller Filed under: OpEd, Scrubs, Episode Reviews, Reality-Free(S08E06) This episode was a little better than "My ABC's," but not by much. I don't know what it is, but I just didn't laugh all that much during either of these episodes. At least this one dug into some good character-based stories, f...

By Joel Keller But thanks to the efforts of Bill Lawrence and ABC Studios, Scrubs does live on, this time on ABC. And, after viewing the first two episodes of the new season, I'm happy to say that going to an eighth season was worth it. Lawrence told me that he wanted to get back to the humor and storytelling bas...

By Joel Keller While I generally don't respond to witty comments like these, it gives me a good opportunity to remind folks that, yes, I do like Scrubs. In fact, it's one of my all-time favorite shows; I laugh my butt off at the reruns, even if I've seen them a hundred times. When I don't like an episode, it's us...

By Joel Keller Filed under: Scrubs, VideoI've said it before, and I'll say it again: When you write about TV for a living, you'll never know what will land in your e-mail inbox. That's what I thought on Friday when I got this note from Robert Maschio, who plays sex-obsessed surgeon "The Todd" on Scrubs:

By Anna Johns Filed under: Scrubs, WGA StrikeBill Lawrence, creator of Scrubs, refused to write an "emergency" series finale to use in case of a strike. According to The Hollywood Reporter, ABC studios, which produces Scrubs, asked Lawrence to quickly write a series finale before the strike began. Th...

By Joel Keller Filed under: OpEd, Scrubs, Episode Reviews(S07E02) Despite what I knew about this episode going in -- that it would be the one where J.D. and Kim finally have their baby -- I didn't expect it to be so warm-hearted and almost gimmick-free. Permalink | Email this | | Comments

By Bob Sassone Aloma Wright will return to the show this fall, even though her character, Nurse Roberts, was killed off earlier this season. It's part of a deal that she made with Scrubs creator Bill Lawrence: if the show returned for another season, then she could return to the show as Roberts' twin siste...

By Joel Keller Filed under: OpEd, Scrubs, Episode Reviews(S06E21 / S06E22) Now that we know that Scrubs is going to be back for a seventh season -- though from what we've all heard, it would have had a seventh season, even if it was on ABC instead of NBC -- the way this season concluded made a whole hell of a lo...
