Steff Posted January 4, 2006 Share Posted January 4, 2006 I never watched this show before, and likely never will again, but last night there was a line where one Dr asks another (sic) what's more embarassing and one of the choices was being a lifelong Cubs fan... Anyone else watch/see this show and catch the line..? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsider2k5 Posted January 4, 2006 Share Posted January 4, 2006 I watch the show often... It was something to the effect of what would be more embarassing, being a life-long Cubs fan or a man with no lips smoking a cigarette. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really enjoy the show when I watch it, but it is a show that always falls through the cracks for me, and I even have TiVo. I think they've moved it around a few times, but it really is an excellent show. I think in the first season they did an episode where Colin Hay from Men at Work would appear and play an accoustic version of "Overkill" It really was one of the finest half hours of TV I've seen in the last few years.

Rex Kickass Posted January 4, 2006 Share Posted January 4, 2006 I loved the first and second seasons a lot more than when I catch it now. I like Steve Carrell's version of "The Office" too but I always seem to just miss it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They moved that along with Earl to Thursday nites at 8/8:30. Will and grace moved to 7pm and some new show is on at 730.... Sounds like they are trying to make Thursday a decent TV night again.

Controlled Chaos Posted January 4, 2006 Share Posted January 4, 2006 Scrubs is a hilarious show. You definitely have to give it some time if you've never seen it before. Once you get to know the charaters, it's great. There's really no other show I know of that's filmed like it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyyle23 Posted January 4, 2006 Share Posted January 4, 2006 QUOTE(sox4lifeinPA @ Jan 4, 2006 -> 10:49 AM) Elliot (Sarah Chalke) is the oldest daughter on Rosanne, which was weird. Actually, she was the replacement "Becky". The first girl on the show quit, and this Sarah Chalke stepped in. And then in the last two seasons the original Becky came back and they wrote Sarah Chalke in the show as someone else, which was funny. Ok I am wandering now... Scrubs rules.

Rex Kickass Posted January 4, 2006 Share Posted January 4, 2006 She was Becky 2 and 4. Becky 1 came back for one season and was briefly Becky 3 too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SnB Posted January 4, 2006 Share Posted January 4, 2006 I love the show, too bad I really never catch it when it's on tv. Everyone's right, it's a very quirky and different show and I guess you have to have the right sense of humor to like the show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
juddling Posted January 4, 2006 Share Posted January 4, 2006 I love Scrubs and just finished the first season on DVD. A bit of trivia about the first season you may not have known. --Did you know that orginally the janitor (played by Neil Flynn) was supposed to be a figment of JD's imagination???? If you go and watch the most of the first season...the janitor ONLY interacts with JD, never with anyone else (shades of The Sixth Sense) but the writers said that the character was so popular that he was made "real" by the writers. Also, the janitor's name is Neil Flynn (also the name of the actor). Maybe the writers couldn't come up with a good "janitor-sounding' name.

Cali Posted January 5, 2006 Share Posted January 5, 2006 Scrubs is one of the best shows on TV and has been for years. Neil Flynn who plays The Janitor is from Chicago originally, and was actually the first basemen for the Cubs in the movie Rookie of the Year.

FlaSoxxJim Posted January 5, 2006 Share Posted January 5, 2006 (edited) QUOTE(sox4lifeinPA @ Jan 4, 2006 -> 10:49 AM) great show. The first two seasons are on DVD with extra features. They're 150% worth renting/buying. The humor is tailor made for PA. I love the Re-Run from What's Happening? epidsode. Elliot (Sarah Chalke) is the oldest daughter on Rosanne, which was weird. The hospital lawyer, Janitor, Lavern the black nurse, and "the Todd" make this show awesome. Technically, Sarah Chalke was the "second" oldest daughter on Roseanne, as she pla yed Becky Conner-Healy #2 starting in 1993 when Becky Conner-Healy #1 (Lecy Goranson) left, and then inermittently thereafter when Becky Conner-Healy #1 came back in 1995. Kind of the Dick York/Dick Sargent deal for the 80s/90's I guess. I very much like Scrubs, and thought the second seasoon was the strongest. Garden State, of course, took my appreciation for Zach Braff to a new level. Edit: In finishing reading the thread I see both Kyle and Rex had already cleared up the Becky Issue. Rats. OK, smarties, what happened to The guy Becky's husband Mark after the show ended? Edited January 5, 2006 by FlaSoxxJim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
