On Television

I adore Zach Braff. He is so talented. I really like the show Scrubs and think he is hilarious on it but my real love affair with him began after I watched Garden State. I love everything about the movie from the cinematography to the soundtrack.

Was feeling really inert tonite - watching random stuff on TV - Da Chang Jin, Grey’s Anatomy, Scrubs, Fraiser, a Taiwanese variety show gueststarring Tanya Chua and some detective show on Ch 5. A very “blain dead” night.

The third season of Scrubs has hit DVD. Like the first two seasons, it is the yum. I’m continually pleased with how the series manages to nail both comedy and drama. They even manage to develop another Elliot/JD plot thread that rings true, rather than it feeling like another Rachel/Ross will-they-won’t-they thing. They even mock Friends while they’re doing it. Highly recommended (assuming you’ve seen the first two seasons).

With Scrubs just finishing their 5th season of genius, I’m left asking a few questions.

The album is making the rounds on hit TV shows like ‘Grey’s Anatomy’ and ‘What About Brian’. ‘How to Save a Life’ was an appropriate song recently for a closing emotional scene of an episode of Scrubs this past week and is one of the best songs I’ve heard in a long while. The whole album is complete with all the instruments I love to hear from a rock band that play only to complement each other but stand out in their own moments such as the piano and drums. The band also has the ability to up the tempo on songs and slow them down with some melodic consistency where more bands are inclined to keep a steadier tempo.

Last Tuesday, instead of my usual SCRUBS rerun fix in the 8:30 timeslot there was some stupid celebrity cooking show hosted by the dad from GROWING PAINS. I thought to myself, “Who in the hell would want to watch this?” Well apparently the answer is nobody.

Some worth additions I think are Scrubs and How I Met Your Mother, my two favourite comedies. They’re both incredible funny but HIMYM is more of a sweet funny with a lot of good one liners. Scrubs is just really silly to me but the characters and storylines are hilarious. That’s so funny!

The hardest part about cutting out these stupid shows is that it’s become a habit of mine to watch tv at 10:00…basically regardless of what’s on. it just seems like a good studybreak/chillout time.

So i dunno what i’m gonna do during 10:00… watch Scrubs maybe.

i also want to encourage everyone to watch the office on nbc. it is one of the funniest shows on television right now. arrested development, the office and scrubs. seriously, if you are sick of the laugh track telling you when to laugh, you need to pick one of these up. they are the trinity of current situation comedies.

Tuesday has become my favorite night of TV, oddly enough. Gilmore Girls, The Amazing Race, The Office. Last night we got around to watching the series premiere of My Name Is Earl and we both laughed a lot, so that one will be sticking around. And we are really looking forward to Scrubs (our favorite show) returning. Again. Watch it.

Two years ago at Christmas, after urging us to join modern times, they took matters into their own hands. We received both a DVD and a TiVo. Of course, our TV was so antiquated that it couldn’t handle the new technology so we had to go out and buy a new one. Wouldn’t want to disappoint the kids and not use their gifts! Once we were all connected we could start setting up our season passes. Pick a show, push a button and the TiVo records all the showings. Well, what did we usually watch? Lots of cooking shows. Stuff from the History Channel, some A & E things, endless tennis. And, yes, I admit it, some sit-coms: Scrubs, Arrested Development. But it was all very hit or miss because we couldn’t remember what night they were on or the networks kept moving them about. Now they are all neatly recorded and categorized on our “Now Playing” page.

The Flight: Yeah so I had my own personal TV with a variety of those high calibur movies- X men, Coach Carter, and of course, The Pacifier, starring Vin Diesel (not Vinh but it did remind me of him...kidding). But yeah... 12 hours in an airplane isn't too bad when I got to watch SCrubs a lot (with the'ol 700m of course) and i had my iriver... so it was pretty sweet.

In other news, the “little something” my wife got me for our anniversary was the first season of “Scrubs” on DVD. I love that show so much I want to buy it dinner on the off chance may get to cop a feel as I’m kissing it goodnight. This means, of course, I subjected my wife to what amounted to a weekend-long “Scrubs” marathon, complete with me slapping my knee and braying like a donkey with whooping cough every two minutes.

Yes, yes, yes. EVERYONE I ask is completely familiar with Scrubs. But, cloistered in my misanthropic hermitage, I had never seen the show and was prone to making "The Face" whenever anyone had the gall to suggest that this funny-lowest common denominator-network hit was any good. I stand corrected. Scrubs season one just came out on DVD and it was awesome! If--like me--you've been too cool for the show, you need to stop it. Right now.

I have been catching up on old episodes of Scrubs (I just love this show). In the episode today we are clued in to JD's love of the band Journey. OK, anyone out there who lived through the late 70's & 80's knows they were hoping when Open Arms started playing at the Friday night sock-hop that their high school crush would come over and ask them to slow dance....otherwise we all know your lyin! The song they were singing on the episode is my song of the day! Zach Braff just makes me laugh too - the guy is just funny. He is currently filming...

These are the people who will go out and buy a whole season on DVD is they enjoy your show. Which in turn, turns into a shit load more money. I have TONS of TV shows on DVD. Both seasons of insomniac, All the Family guy, Miami Vice, Night Court, Sopranos, 24, Scrubs, All in the family.

Just like I mentioned in my previous post about Scrubs, it has been going downhill since the beginning of this season (4) and now the last episode is an utter crap (My Drive By). It's a worry since this is the last episode before the season finale. The only redeeming scene in this episode is the Jesus H. Cox scene.

Instead I try to define myself from what I think of life. Because I do a lot of thinking, probably too much, which is because I’m alone most of the time andgot noone else to talk to but myself (myself agrees a lot)… Anyway, this hasn’t really been an issue until now… or rather, I havent seen it as one. Today I found myself watching 4 episodes of what is my favourite series at the moment (Scrubs), when I understood what was going on.

Yet another artist discovered from Scrubs, even if the quality of the show has been going downhill since the beginning of season 4, I think I can watch the show for the music only :)

The Scrubs website has an extensive list of all the music played in the show (and more from other location here).

Scrubs and The Office make tuesday night the greatest night of the week.
