"Scrubs" Season Six Talkback (Spoilers)

[AhmedtheHead]

The musical episode of Scrubs is on tonight at 9 on NBC!:) Here, you can leave comments afterwards of your critiques on the episode.

[peacebyanymeans]

Finally. Been waiting a looooong time for this.

[2dalchemist]

cant wait for this i saw the guy love song jd and turk sing and i couldnt stop laughing

[TheMecca]

I've only seen maybe 3 or 4 episodes of Scrubs but I am so catching this.

[2dalchemist]

i really didnt watch it either till they put the reruns on comedy centrel

[peacebyanymeans]

Encore! Encore, I say!

[Wing Zero]

That was just solid. That's the best word I can think of to describe it. Everything was great from the choregraphy to the lyrics. Had me laughing from beginning to end, and even the touching ending worked beautifully and all the story arcs were continued. If Scrubs doesn't win an emmy for this episode then there is definitely something wrong.

[AhmedtheHead]

I enjoyed it a LOT! The best episode so far. All the songs were great, but the best ones were Guy Love, Everything Comes Down To Poo, The Rant Song, and Gonna Miss You, Carla. I hope they release a CD of this!:) Only nitpick: it should have been longer!

[TheMecca]

I now need to go out and buy every season of Scrubs on DVD.

[Mr. Manager]

I must admit that I enjoyed this more than last night's Office, a little more. I need to start watching Scrubs more now.

[Draft]

Usually I prefer Earl or the Office over Scrubs, but Scrubs easily topped this

If you have iTunes, The music video for Guy Love is free (mods, remove link if it's not allowed, i'm not sure..) http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewVideo?id=207550851&p=207114040&s=143441

[Starsky]

I really really liked it. It didn't quite reach the level of Buffy's "Once More, With Feeling", but that's almost impossible (and this coming from someone who doesn't dig Buffy that much), and it did effortlessly achieve to totally live up to my expectations, and was even better the second time around. Loved the callbacks to My Best Friend's Wedding, My Day Off and the pilot. Favorite songs: "We're Gonna Miss You" (The Janitor's line had absolutely perfect timing), "Guy Love", Cox's rant, and the Medley ("When The Truth Comes Out"). By the way, considering the episode was full of NBC's "Grease" pop-up ads, does anyone else think the "Friends Forever" song was there because of the network? It didn't really bother me, but it's something I noticed.

Hmm, I noticed that, too. Maybe it's a coincidence, considering the filming of the ep was early of last year.

[Ruffian]

Maybe, and maybe not. I have a friend who is a diehard Scrubs fan and she was reading up on how the creator or whoever's in charge of the show had specific broadway shows in mind that he wanted to emulate. The opening was inspired by "Be Our Guest" from Beauty and the Beast and "When the Truth Comes Out" is in the style of the medleys found in Les Miserables. So it could be he wanted a Grease styled number in there as well.

[AhmedtheHead]

Tonight 9PM on NBC:

Tonight's episode of Scrubs is one of the "His/Her Story" series. Tonight's subject is Dr. Kelso.

Post your opinions about the episode after the show!:)

[Bird Boy]

Having seen every Scrubs episode ever, I feel comfortable in saying...that was the worst Scrubs episode ever. I think I laughed a total of four times.

-BB

[JohnCrichton]

I laughed maaaybe twice.

Has Scrubs lost it's touch or are they getting lazy?

[Zach Logan]

It wasn't a great episode, but I did like the coffee cups with Elliot's quotes, the Republican make-out, and the Iraq War: For Dummies and J.D.'s ignorance to why he still had most of the book after the "Mission Accomplished" declaration.

[The Clown Prince]

Coming from a die-hard Scrubs fan I have to say that this episode was not very good. In fact this new season has been mixed with me. It's a rarity for me to see a bad Scrubs episode so it's not as painful to say that this was bad. But still, it wasn't very good.

I don't know, I love it ANY time Bob Kelso gets development and this was his chance to shine, but Bill Lawrence and whatever writer was in charge of the episode decided poorly to put Bob in the middle of an Iraq war debate themed episode.

I never pictured Cox or Turk as far left wing liberals as they were depicted. :shrug:

The two things they at least did right was have at least equal amount of characters on each side, but left J.D. neutral. And they treated the wounded soldier fairly and Bob having some kind of a connection and sympathy with him.

Having to hear about Iraq all day and every day on TV news and radio, newspapers, magazines, and Internet websites (which I don't mind because it is the real world), but the last thing I want to hear or see is to have to be reminded on a fictional fantasy comedy show. I just felt uncomfortable watching it. Sort of like Homer's "Then why are we in Iraq" line last episode of The Simpsons. For some reason, it took me out of the fantasy of watching it.

Since watching the episodes this season, I'm mixed about whether or not I would like to see a seventh season. I know Bill Lawrence is debating that now, but if these episodes don't get any better, then I say leave it at 6 seasons.

I'm not looking to start a political debate here (because I know this board isn't for it but this episode started it), I'm just saying that with shows like Scrubs for example, it really takes me out of the fantasy and far fetched comedy that they try and put on.

Just for the love of God, leave this behind and go back to the funny stories that you know how to tell!

The Clown Prince

[Wing Zero]

It wasn't a great episode, but I did like the coffee cups with Elliot's quotes, the Republican make-out, and the Iraq War: For Dummies and J.D.'s ignorance to why he still had most of the book after the "Mission Accomplished" declaration.

Not really sure why everyone is all boo-hoo about this episode. I think its on the level of some of 5th season's mid-points. I pretty much laughed at all the scenes Zach pointed out. Janitor's rabbit was horrible but at the sametime I couldn't stop laughing at his craziness.

Decent ep, at first the voice over lines for Kelso were a little weird, but they got better and more natural as the ep went on.

[90'sCartoonMan]

Ithe Republican make-out

That was disturbing.

My favorite part of the episode was Slagathor.

[AhmedtheHead]

Here, everyone could talk about the season so far, plus about tonight's episode:

MY ROAD TO NOWHERE

JD and friends take a road trip to see Kim's ultrasound of their baby.

Tonight on NBC, 9pm.:)

[TheMecca]

There's a thread made every week.
Welcome to Toon Zone!

[The Penguin]

There's a thread made every week.I think Ahmed knows, he's made the previous threads this season. Looks to me like a conversion based on interest and to match the other Thursday comedies.

I'll probably take the other two talkbacks and fold them into this thread later on.

[AhmedtheHead]

I think Ahmed knows, he's made the previous threads this season. Looks to me like a conversion based on interest and to match the other Thursday comedies.

I'll probably take the other two talkbacks and fold them into this thread later on.

I know. This will be the official thread for this season. I was wondering how come Earl, The Office, and 30 Rock have threads except for Scrubs.

Anywho, tonight's episode was great. The comedy bits [especially the "Man Check" moment] were hilarious, and the events with Kim were surprising, especially at the end.

[Wonderwall]

I thought this was a solid episode of scrubs, one of the best of the season. I thought the hmour was at top form again and the emotional bits were hitting just as good. i was suprised at the ending as well, I wonder where this well end up.

[Rocketboy]

I really hope that this isn't the last of Kim. I want her to return one more time for her and J.D. to sort things out once and for all.

And I guess Nurse Roberts is set to die.

[AhmedtheHead]

I was surprised about the end, too. Why would Kim do that?:confused:

[90'sCartoonMan]

I was surprised about the end, too. Why would Kim do that?:confused:

Maybe she ultimately decided she didn't want JD in her life and wanted to stay with her new job. Not the most honorable thing to do. I hope JD finds out about this, but I don't know how.

[AhmedtheHead]

I hope he finds out, too. He'll be crushed.

[Tube Dude]

Yeah, I loved the "Man Check"! Classic Scrubs.:anime:

[AhmedtheHead]

LOL I loved that, too!

[AhmedtheHead]

Tonight after the Office:

MY PERSPECTIVE

After the RV trip of disappointment, JD experiences a series of sudden fade-outs and fainting.

9pm on NBC.

[Swordfish_II]

I can't get TheToddTime.com (http://www.thetoddtime.com/) to load...

[Mr. Manager]

I'm glad I wasn't the only one here who tried. Anyway, I can't get it to load either, but NBC will probably put something on it eventually, or at least have it redirect to the NBC or Scrubs site.

[AhmedtheHead]

I can't get TheToddTime.com (http://www.thetoddtime.com/) to load...

My brother tried it twice, but it seems like it's busy.

Anyway, great episode tonight. Lots of funny parts [the jail moments, bedpan race. JD's fainting condition].

[Mr. Manager]

The Todd Time works now, and it's gotten about 42,250 hits.

[90'sCartoonMan]

The Todd Time works now, and it's gotten about 42,250 hits.

I was so curious to see what this would be, and now...I kinda wished I hadn't seen that.

[Mr. Manager]

It's gone over 100,000 now.

[Tube Dude]

I was so curious to see what this would be, and now...I kinda wished I hadn't seen that.

Ditto. That was definitely a one-time thing.

[AhmedtheHead]

Tonight's episode:

My Therapeutic Month

J.D. develops a crush on a new physical therapist but due to his latest misfortunes, he finds it difficult to ask her out. Elliot asks Keith to move in with her, but is not willing to budge on her home rules. Turk breaks his arm and is sent back to residency by Dr. Kelso. Thanks to Dr. Cox, he realizes that he doesn't know as much about medicine as he thought. Meanwhile, Carla provides everyone with advice as they work through their problems.*

Tonight after the Office, 9pm.:)

*Plot summary from TV.com

[RD!]

Well. Scrubs has gotten overly silly but now I can accept it because it's actually really been funny.

[AhmedtheHead]

Well. Scrubs has gotten overly silly but now I can accept it because it's actually really been funny.

I enjoy the silliness of the show a lot. Just like tonight with Turk and the ceiling fan. Classic! All in all, it was a funny episode.

[AhmedtheHead]

That was disturbing.

My favorite part of the episode was Slagathor.

Slagathor was funny, but Ted the Human Magic 8-Ball was a riot.

[AhmedtheHead]

I now need to go out and buy every season of Scrubs on DVD.

That's definitely money well spent, my friend.:)

[AhmedtheHead]

Tonight's episode:

My Night to Remember

As the gang treat a patient, they reminisce of their past events.

On NOW!

[AhmedtheHead]

Great clip show. There could have been a little more story to the patient, but the clips were hilarious. Plus, Bald Dr. Cox is better than Girly Perm Dr. Cox.

[Samhaine]

Some funny moments to be sure, and I was thinking about the pancake line about two minutes before it showed up, which made me laugh more than I would, but there's really no reason for a clip show in this day and age. With DVD and youtube, the best scenes and lines are still pretty fresh. And not that it's a fault of the show, but it's been in some pretty heavy reruns since September. The only time a clip show really works is in a case like the Clerks one, where it's poking fun of the convention.

Easily my least favorite episode of the show.

It's not the best ep of the season, but it's one of the best clip shows alongside Fresh Prince's and Malcolm in the Middle.

[AhmedtheHead]

I really hope that this isn't the last of Kim. I want her to return one more time for her and J.D. to sort things out once and for all.

And I guess Nurse Roberts is set to die.

I know this sounds like a race question but: Why Nurse Roberts?

[Sage Shinigami]

I know this sounds like a race question but: Why Nurse Roberts?

I can't remember where, but I remember a mini-description of a future ep saying she goes into a coma and doesn't make it out.

The last new episode I caught was the one where basically JD's life was about as bad as it could get (without him getting fired I guess), and yet everyone wanted to tell him to "suck it up". That was just....I don't know. Definitely not one of my favorites but since CC has stopped at Season 5's end, I'm going to have to actually go to the trouble of remembering when it comes on NBC (which I never even go near anymore since I got satellite) to get my Scrubs fix.

Easily my least favorite episode of the show.

I enjoyed it, but I think they should have just made a special out of it like the previous "Scrubs: The Funniest Moments".

[Good Ol' Batmanuel!]

I wonder if they're going to give an explanation for Cox's baldness? I hope. I don't like it. :p

[AhmedtheHead]

I wonder if they're going to give an explanation for Cox's baldness? I hope. I don't like it. :p

Not likely, since they never explained Cox's odd hair at this season's start. He got a haircut, and in my opinion, he looks much better.

[Samhaine]

I didn't like that aspect about the episode, either. I mean, Cox loves his kid, and he would've rallied behind J.D. in a second after losing a child. Coersion would not be necessary. Then I watched it again and realized nobody knew about the miscarriage. He was already dealing with it on his own, he just didn't know it yet. That made the whole thing a lot stronger in my opinion.

[AhmedtheHead]

Tonight's episode:

My Fishbowl


When Private Dancer is released from the hospital, the military informs him that his injuries are too severe to be reinstated into the service, so he gets depressed.*

*Synopsis from TV.com.

[AhmedtheHead]

That was a hilarious episode. A lot of big laughs, including Dr. Cox's rundown on the characters and the Janitor with the fish. Great directing by Chris Koch (he made "My Screw Up") and the ending was really interesting.

[JohnCrichton]

Cox magically got his hair back. O_o

[Good Ol' Batmanuel!]

Cox magically got his hair back. O_o
Yeah, that's what I was thinking. I guess they're airing them out of sequence to how they were filmed. Maybe he'll be bald again in an upcoming episode.

Of course, it would be hilarious if that was the only time he was ever bald on the show and they never explained it! :D

[AhmedtheHead]

Yep, they're airing it out of seasons. I heard this episode's commentary and it was said that My Night to Remember was supposed to air two episodes later in the season.

[AhmedtheHead]

Tonight's episode:

My Scrubs

Due to a sudden burglary, Dr. Kelso gives the crew new scrubs. Meanwhile, the Janitor blackmails Carla. Why? Check it out,

Tonight at 9pm, after The Office on NBC.

[AhmedtheHead]

I wonder if they're going to give an explanation for Cox's baldness? I hope. I don't like it. :p

For now, it seems that Dr. Cox has some kind of magic hair. NBC is airing the episodes out of order, and soon they will move the show again. (sighs) I hope ABC picks this show up because NBC's still treating it like garbage.

Tonight's episode was pretty funny. It didn't top My Fishbowl, but it was close. The Shanghai Surprise scene was hilarious, as well as the caveman fantasy and the fantasy of everyone getting their scrubs back.

B+

[AhmedtheHead]

Did ANYONE watch the episode on Thursday?!:confused:

[AhmedtheHead]

I'm pretty disappointed no one commented on last week's episode, so I hope for tonight's episode a change for the better.

Tonight's episode:

My No Good Reason

JD falls for Turk's nanny, the Janitor teams up with Elliot, and someone ends up in a coma.

Directed by Zach Braff.

Tonight after Earl on NBC!!!:)

[Mr. Manager]

Did ANYONE watch the episode on Thursday?!:confused:The fact that its lead-in hour wasn't new might have contributed.

[AhmedtheHead]

I thought this episode was pretty good. However, I am sort of disappointed that it took a coma to give Laverne a full episode. Shame, writers. Shame.

Anywho, Braff's directing was well done, and the jokes hit home. Let's hope Laverne survives.

[The Clown Prince]

Once again, Dr. Cox has a full head of hair. This makes what, the third episode to have aired since the clip show one? I find it funny too since there was a joke about how good his hair looked.

Was that really a shaved a head or some weird bald cap. Because that really is out of order if that is what NBC has done.

The Clown Prince

[90'sCartoonMan]

I didn't think that nanny was all that good looking.

I am glad they showed more of Laverne's character before they put her in a coma, though.

[AhmedtheHead]

After 2 weeks without an episode (due to yet another Office marathon, stupid NBC), Scrubs finally returns tonight with a new episode.

Tonight's episode:

My Long Goodbye

Picking up where "My No Good Reason" left off, Laverne is in a coma after being in a car accident. Jordan gives birth, but doesn't tell Perry about it. Meanwhile, J.D. and Turk use their time pulling pranks.

Tonight, 9:23 pm [after a "super-sized" episode of The Office], on NBC.

[WolfieKiwi]

Yes silly, Wolfie~Giri enjoys Scrubs very much~!

I missed about half the episode, but when I tunned in, there were some really emotional parts. All in all, I wished I had seen the whole thing. Still it was good... I liked JD's narration about the patient dieing only after everyones says their goodbyes to them.

[Brandon Pierce]

Saddest episode ever.

Also, we finally see why Dr. Cox's head was shaved.

I think the reason they killed off Laverne was because the writers believed this would be the last season... until NBC (or ABC) left it open they'd pick it up for a 7th season. It's going to be different without Aloma Wright.:crying:

[Good Ol' Batmanuel!]

Finally, we see Perry bald for the first time...again...sorta! Now that we see how the order of episodes came it, it's a bit strange. Oh well.

Great episode, though it's too bad we won't hear Laverne's great quips and such anymore.

[AhmedtheHead]

Yes, the bald reason has been finally revealed! I'm going to miss Laverne, too. She was a great character.

I enjoyed the episode, had a lot of laughs. The robot fantasy was hilarious, as was Jack and Lloyd rockin' to speed metal. The comedy and drama was balanced well.

Also, from the episode, I think Jordan might be suffering.

[90'sCartoonMan]

Is Dr. Cox's kid really going to be named after JD? And also, didn't Cox once have hallucinations about a dead person before?

[Swordfish_II]

And also, didn't Cox once have hallucinations about a dead person before?
Jordan's brother, the photographer, played by Brendan Frasier.

[AhmedtheHead]

Tonight's episode of Scrubs will be on at 9:30, replacing Andy Barker, PI, which was unfortunately canceled. (Why do the great shows suffer?!?:confused: )

Tonight's Episode:

My Words of Wisdom

After Laverne sadly passed away, the crew at Sacred Heart take her thoughts into their own lives. Meanwhile, Turk deals with a deaf patient whose parents refuse the offer of a surgical implant that allows him to hear.

Tonight, after 30 Rock, on NBC.

[AhmedtheHead]

I enjoyed this episode. JD's funeral dream was the funniest moment, I loved it. Also, I thought it was great that Keith finally spoke up about Elliot treating him like a booty call, it really gave him some depth. It was also funny the Janitor knew sign language and Dr. Cox never caught a break to relax while Dr. Kelso sat around most of the time LOL

[AhmedtheHead]

Tonight's episode:

Their Story

It's The Todd, Ted, and Jordan's turn.

It was on tonight. I was late posting this, but for those who have seen it, feel free to leave your opinions and comments.

[AhmedtheHead]

That was a good episode. It was great to get a "Story" from Todd, Ted, and Jordan. The fantasies were funny especially Ted's and The Todd's. One thing that was strange was that JD was BARELY in it. Aside from "His Story III", he was always there with a subplot (he stole the show in "Her Story"); here, it was kind of a cameo. Still, good ep; also, it was cool that Lloyd got more screentime, he's pretty funny.

[Good Ol' Batmanuel!]

Tonight's episode of Scrubs will be on at 9:30, replacing Andy Barker, PI, which was unfortunately canceled.
I had to confirm that for myself, because I knew they had moved it to Saturday (which would spell its death anyway, I figured). They played 2 episodes last Saturday, apparently, which means I missed one of them. Man, Andy Richter just can't catch a break on TV, can he? :sad: And it was a show that I liked immediately, too! Same with Andy Richter Controls the Universe.

Anyway, that stinks, but I did thoroughly enjoy Scrubs last night. I like it when they let us in on other people's daydreaming. Ted was particularly funny throughout the episode. :)

[AhmedtheHead]

Yep: it seems like Andy can't keep a show, but it was NBC's fault for showing the whole episodes on their website instead of just one. That was stupid.

And yes, Ted stole the show, along with Lloyd. That stripper pole bit was LOL funny.

[ignatz]

It is pretty nice that this show is still going after all these years.

[.bg]

Scrubs is my favourite show ever!

Just a reminder to the British fans:

Scrubs airs on E4, ABC1, the Sky channels, Paramount 1 and Channel 4.

New episodes start soon on E4, so make sure to tune in!

As for those on the other side of the pond, some exciting news- Scrubs is going to be aired on TV Land starting 2008.

Very good news for all! :)

[Good Ol' Batmanuel!]

Dr. K gots madd 'roni skillz, yo!

[AhmedtheHead]

Sorry about that, fellow viewers, I was very busy yesterday. For those who saw it on TV or the Internet, feel free to leave comments. Here was yesterday's episode:


My Turf War

Turk and Dr. Cox have an ongoing battle with a patient; Elliot's sorority sister, Melody [Keri Russell] stops by.

[Good Ol' Batmanuel!]

A decent episode overall, and nice to see Cox get beaten at his own game. My favorite bit was when Elliot and Melody were screaming a la Black Canary. :p

[AhmedtheHead]

My favorite bit was when Elliot and Melody were screaming a la Black Canary. :p

That scene was hilarious, especially that odd low camera shot of Turk & JD flying. So far, these cold opens have been really funny.

[AhmedtheHead]

Tonight's "Super-Sized" Episode:

My Cold Shower

J.D. starts dating Elliot's sorority sister Melody, but she just wants to make out with him without going further. Elliot and Carla are having problems figuring out, what is wrong with two women, who show the same symptoms, but have no obvious connection.*

Tonight at 9:19pm [that's right, 9:19pm] on NBC.

* summary from TV.com

[Samhaine]

There was a lot to like about this episode. There was one thing to despise - JD and Elliot. Season 3 and especially Season 4 killed their romantic relationship completely, and then Season 5 helped to build up their friendship once again. I like Keith. I liked Kim. I know she should get a lot of flack for what she did, lying and all, but I can understand where the character was coming from.

I just hope this doesn't lead to JD trying to break up Keith and Elliot. We've seen this story already happen three years ago, and it was done well then. I have faith they'll take it in a different direction over the next few episodes, especially since they knew Zach was definitely in for the seventh season by the time of the writing, but I can't help but fear they're just going to retread old stories, and not in the funny My Deja Vu, My Deja VU way.

I'm sure they will take a different route.
In the season finale, JD will decide that he wants what everyone else has, a relationship. He is definetly going to go back to Kim, to find her pregnant.
The writers are not going to be rehashing old storylines.

[AhmedtheHead]

I thought this was one of the best episodes of the season, alongside My Fishbowl, My Musical, My Scrubs, and My Best Friend's Baby's Baby. Everything was well done, from the fantasies [Dr. Cox's was hilarious:D], the regular comedy, to the very good ending. Thumbs up!

[Samhaine]

I'm sure they will take a different route.
In the season finale, JD will decide that he wants what everyone else has, a relationship. He is definetly going to go back to Kim, to find her pregnant.

Oh, I know she's supposed to show up next week, which gives me hope. But I also know the writers are 50/50 on whether or not they should get together for good.
It's just that my faith in the show has diminished slightly as they shifted the focus onto Elliot until they knew whether Braff was coming back or not, which resulted in some weaker plotlines. Not necessarily the comedy aspect, but the drama (and I'm a Keith fan!), which is one of the reasons I love the show as much as I do.

Still, I hope next week will turn everything on its head yet again, leading up to a great finale.

I love this show and I usually don't post since I'm so lazy but "My Cold Shower" was a nice return to form. Zach Braff did a good job at the end and it was nice to see JD act serious/real again. A well done episode with a nicely directed ending.

Gotta love that Dr.Cox fantasy too...

[AhmedtheHead]

Oh, I know she's supposed to show up next week, which gives me hope. But I also know the writers are 50/50 on whether or not they should get together for good.
It's just that my faith in the show has diminished slightly as they shifted the focus onto Elliot until they knew whether Braff was coming back or not, which resulted in some weaker plotlines. Not necessarily the comedy aspect, but the drama (and I'm a Keith fan!), which is one of the reasons I love the show as much as I do.

Still, I hope next week will turn everything on its head yet again, leading up to a great finale.


I noticed the shift, too, but I hope they try to do something different. JD had so many chances to be with Elliot, but he ruined it with that odd "wants what he can't have" thing. I would say that he should stay with Kim, but with the miscarriage lie, I don't know. We'll just have to see...

LOL, who wouldn't?

[Good Ol' Batmanuel!]

Did anyone else catch Zach's appearance on Conan last night? Good, and weird, stuff. :)

Tonight's SuperSized episode:

My Conventional Wisdom

JD attends a medical convention with Turk, and uncovers a surprise.

Directed by MadTV's Michael McDonald.

Tonight after The Office, 9:20, on NBC.

I enjoyed last night's episode. I'm glad JD was furious with Kim, I would have felt the same way if someone did that to me. The end is a good cliffhanger, although I think JD should have custody of the baby and raise it as his own and stay away from Kim. His chances for Elliot are doubtful.

As for the comedy, everything was funny. Old MC was hilarious, Dr. Cox's rants were good, Dr. Toliet was funny if lengthy, and the jab at "Basic Instinct 2" was really funny. Janitor being Chief of Medicine was another plus.

[Brandon Pierce]

I loved this exchange:

Janitor: "... and that's how I got my name."

Resident: "You don't look Asian."

That was hilarious! So does the Janitor have an asian name? Or just another made-up one like in season 3's "My Friend the Doctor"?

They never said his name, but I'll bet it's probably fake.

Summaries from TV.com.

Catch it tonight, after The Office, on NBC.

Good episodes tonight, although I definitely liked My Point of No Return better. The braintrust was great, and Doug had some funny lines, "Oh come on this guy sucks!"

The JD/Elliot thing...oh boy. I'm on the fence about it still, I don't want the Keith relationship to be destroyed since he hasn't done anything wrong and they've been building it up really well. On the other hand, seeing Elliot in Scrubs again along with them holding hands brings back fun memories of earlier seasons.

[Brandon Pierce]

What's funny is I didn't notice Elliot was wearing Scrubs again until J.D. points it out.

What a cliffhanger:
Episode ends abruptly right before JD and Elliot kiss.

I have a prediction. When the season 7 opens up, it'll pick up from that scene, but someone will walk into that closet and interrupt them.

[90'sCartoonMan]

I'm glad Scrubs is coming back, it'd be a shame if we didn't see the fall out of JD's decision. It doesn't seem like he ever makes choices in his personal life that make him happy. I did love his conscious, though.

[AhmedtheHead]

My Rabbit: This was a good episode. I was glad that there were more JD/Cox interactions. The bunny being a conscience was funny, as well as JD trying to smooth things out with Kim. Good ep. 8/10

My Point of No Return: The best of the two. Even though this is mainly about JD and Elliot, the episode is stolen by the Janitor and his "Brain Trust", who were constantly hilarious as well as Dr. Cox freaking out about JD being the godfather of his baby. Doug being excluded from the Brain Trust was another plus, and, even though I saw it coming, the ending was great. Really well done finale. 10/10

[Rocketboy]

Why has the Janitor's entire Brain Trust group been replaced?

I posted this exact same thing on another forum, but I'm just lame enough to copy it here:
The final two episodes were okay, but nothing really stood out to me until the end. That exchange between JD and Elliot was the first time I've seen them as actual characters in years. It reminded me of the time when I actually cared about them, when they were likeable, heck, when they had actual personalities instead of being shallow plot devices for increasingly surreal gags. I miss that perfect balance between hysterical yet-in-character scenes and well-crafted, touching moments the first two -maybe three- seasons had, and that hasn't been done as successfully on TV since. Don't get me wrong, I still enjoy the show, but it's just not the same anymore.

Yeah, I know, this rant has been stated a million times before, but who cares.

No I agree 100%. Early Scrubs was a lot better and more funny without the over the top sillyness.

But it's still a good show to watch.

[Good Ol' Batmanuel!]

I haven't really followed Scrubs news whatsoever, and I may be wrong about this, but here is what I think will happen: next season will be the last and will finish with J.D. marrying Elliot. Something like that. Yes/no? ;)

nah. next season will reveal the janitor's name. i'm pretty sure it's _____ cleanupman. cox will finally hug jd. turk and carla will be doing just fine. kelso will leave the hospital. ted and his band will sing more rocking songs. and my big guess is that cox and jd will actually start their own private practice together to end the series

[.bg]

I can't believe it! JD and Elliot are (probably) back on!

Feel bad for Keith though - it seems he's only on the show so JD can rip him to shreds and tear him away from his wife-to-be. :sad:

[Good Ol' Batmanuel!]

This is Scrubs we're talking about, not The Twilight Zone. ;)
