(S06E10) Here's the thing . . .

After a fairly lackluster first half of the season it seems that Scrubs is now returning back to what made this quirky comedy so funny for many of us. So, why the heck did it take so long? It shouldn't take ten weeks to get into the swing of things for a show that's been on for six seasons. There haven't been any cast changes, so everyone knows everyone else. The producer is still the same. Plus, the season before just seemed to take off like a rocket and continued ahead at light speed. What was different this time around?

By the way, this little rant isn't just for Scrubs, but for all of those other long-running shows that seem to be taking forever to get going this season . . . Gilmore Girls, Grey's Anatomy, SVU. All of these shows shouldn't need to warm up their engines and then start the race in the middle of the year! There, I feel better know. On to this week's program.

Thanks to my brother Joel for covering last week's episode of Scrubs while I was watching and performing some serious Improv. By the way, if Bassprov ever comes to your town buy tickets early and go see them. Mark Sutton and Joe Bill are just terrific!

Enough Improv chat, let's move ahead to this week's show. The most important item was, of course, the cameo appearance of former TV Squad writer (and current Netscape dude) Ryan Budke (check out the image at the end of this post, after the jump -- he's the guy you don't recognize, in light blue scrubs). It just goes to show you that we here at TV Squad are more than just writers. We're anonymous extras with our backs turned to the camera.
