'Dancing With The Stars' Season 14 Dream Casting
What To Watch On TV This Week
Why Watch TV: Scrubs
Stop! Don't touch
the remote! Keep that finger away from the Power button! In other words, don't turn off your TV during TV Turnoff
Week. If you do, you'll be missing one of the funniest comedies on television today.
I am talking about
NBC's Scrubs. There hasn't been a comedy since Friends, not even Everyone
Everybody Loves Raymond, that makes me laugh out loud like Scrubs does. I mean, how can you
not chuckle while Chris Turk (Donald Faison) dances and lip-synchs to Bel Biv Devoe's Poison. Or snicker
when Dr. Cox (John McGinley) goes on one of his 30-second rant on, for instance, why the purple Wiggle is
always sleeping (for the uninitiated, the purple Wiggle is Jeff Fatt of the very popular children's television show
The Wiggles). Or guffaw when J.D. (Zach Braff) has one of his surreal daydreams in the middle
of a conversation.
For the last four seasons, creator Bill Lawrence and his team have mixed the wackiness with the serious. This season,
which Lawrence thought may be the last, has even been more crazy. Yet, within that wackiness, he has also been able to
push the story forward and make these doctor's and nurses grow up a bit. This is especially the case of Turk and his
wife Carla (Judy Reyes), who are on the path to parenthood. It's silly, it's sad, it makes you think, and, according to some
reports, it may be renewed for a sixth season.
So, leave your TV on and tune in tonight as J.D. tries to
set up a lunch date with Dr. Cox and Carla and Elliot (Sarah Chalke) discover that 'The Toddster' may not be all that he
is cracked up to be.
