Elliot Reid
Scrubs: My Long Goodbye

(S06E15) All right, before we begin this week's review I have been told to present the following reminder . . . Remember when Kevin Kelly and my brother Joel visited the set of Scrubs back in February? Well, they were there when this very episode was filmed. In other words, they knew who was going to die long before any of us did. We couldn't pry the secret out of them by any means. Even suitcases full of kittens didn't budge them. So, I think we're all glad that the, ahem, cat is out of the bag. Thank you, I'll be here all week!
Scrubs: My Scrubs
(S06E13) If I had to sum up this week's episode of Scrubs in one word it would be 'jokey'. I know there was a common thread running through the show which was, in one word, 'trust', but it just didn't seem that it held a lot of substance. In the end it was just the glue attaching a constant barrage of jokes.
Now, before you point you finger at the flat screen and scream 'Of course they're jokes. It's a freaking comedy!' there have been plenty of episodes where the thread actually produced a nice story that wove around the show. A story where some of the humor would come from the situations rather than just from the jokes. Feh, what do I know? Maybe I'm looking too much into the episode. It just seemed to be more of a sitcom this week rather than a comedy. Am I off here, folks?
Anyway, despite all of what I said above, this was a pretty funny episode.
Scrubs: His Story IV
(S06E07) Let's see, over the past five seasons J.D. has given his special narrating powers to Turk, Elliot, Carla, and even Janitor. So, it was logical that he would pass on his abilities to one of the two remaining bigwigs of the show. And he did so this week, as the inner monologue was passed on to Bob Kelso.
Its been awhile since we've seen Bob strut his stuff on the show. Yes, he had some significant singing parts during the musical episode, but he's been in the shadows recently. He certainly isn't the powerhouse that he was in the earlier seasons. That was actually the plot of this week's episode: the staff are no longer afraid of Kelso's tirades since he barely shows up anymore.
Scrubs: My Friend WIth Money
(S06E05) Let's get right to it. Here was the funniest part of this week's episode:
Turk is extremely worried about Carla's postpartum depression so he goes to Dr. Cox for advice. Perry tells Turk that the only person who can help Carla right now is someone else who had the same illness. So, he makes a call to the missus. In walks a extremely angry, third-trimester pregnant Jordan to the melodious notes of Stevie Wonder's "Isn't She Lovely". She pushes through hospital staff like a linebacker through offensive tacklers, stuffs some form of cake into her mouth (that she grabbed from another employees) and screeches 'What?' to Perry and Turk while food flies from her mouth.
That was the funniest scene. The rest? Meh.
Scrubs: My Coffee
(S06E03) I know I said last week's episode of Scrubs felt almost normal, but that was before I saw this week's episode. After a few weeks of baby-centric episodes we got back to the day-to-day antics of Sacred Heart. All in all, it was a good one. Not belly-laugh funny as last week, and certainly not as, um, bad, as the season premiere. There was just some solid storytelling, a few good laughs, and new character development.
What I liked most about this week's episode was that there was finally some decent interaction between J.D. and Turk. During the first two weeks there was barely any connection between the two, and this is a pair of friends who could compete in the man-love contest against Boston Legal's Denny Crane and Alan Shore. Yes, The season premiere was a focus on J.D. and his discovery that he would be a father, and last week was about Turk and Carla's new baby. During those episodes I missed the camaraderie that these two have shown over the last five seasons, and it was good to have it back this week.
