Brian, finally saw the episode last night. Great finale. And that last duel was phenomenal.

 

That Brad vs. Landon duel was awesome. Smart move by Brad to go after the ring like he did.

Scrubs setting moving

 

 

Scrubs boss Bill Lawrence said his cancellation-defying comedy would undergo an extreme makeover in its ninth season, and, man, he wasn't kidding. When the show returns next winter, the action will shift from the hospital to the classroom and make med-school professors of John C. McGinley's Dr. Cox and Donald Faison's Turk.

 

"It'll be a lot like Paper Chase as a comedy," Lawrence tells me. "It's going to be a different show. It'll still be life-and-death stakes, but if the show is just Scrubs again in the hospital with a different person's voiceover, it would be a disaster and people would be mad."

 

 

Of course, Sacred Heart won't go away altogether. Although J.D.'s old stomping ground no longer will serve as the show's base of operations, the students will occasionally rotate through its halls -- and bump into many of its familiar faces. In addition to McGinley and Faison, both of whom are expected to be full-time regulars alongside a quartet of newbies (most of them playing students), Scrubs vets Zach Braff, Sarah Chalke, Judy Reyes and Ken Jenkins have agreed to make guest appearances. (Neil Flynn has a costarring role as Patricia Heaton's husband in the new ABC sitcom The Middle, so his name-challenged Janitor will be MIA.)

 

"Med students in their first three years have to spend anywhere from 10 to 50 percent of their time at a hospital," Lawrence explains. "And that's when you'll see some of the [original cast members]. Continuity-wise, Sacred Heart will still exist with those people still working there."

 

But Lawrence insists "half the cast, if not 60 percent of it," will be comprised of freshmen, one of which will be more recognizable than the rest. "[ABC] is really after us to hire a big name," he reveals. "So one of them will be fairly famous."

Bryan Fuller leaving Heroes again...there does any hope for that show....

What? Why?

 

Crap the series has been amazing only when he writes for it. Other then that its been garbage.

I don't know if anyone else here is a fan of America's Got Talent but I think the show is a good summertime show. Like American Idol...it's got people that do have talent and they do show the people that don't as well. The one thing about this show that absolutely drives me up the freakin' wall is when they do have a good/great act on stage...the director spends so much time doing all these camera cuts that you wind up missing two thirds of the act!!! you know...if there is a good dance group on...i don't need to have 3 cuts backstage to the host Nick Cannon making some stupid pun. Nick Cannon....count your lucky stars you can go home and bang Mariah Carey and STFU. I guess i understand you need a reaction shot or two from the judges but come on....let me see the performer

A new HBO series coming this fall, "Bored to Death", is probably going to be amazing.

- Zach Galifianakis, Jason Schwartzman, Ted Danson, Kristin Wiig

Bored to Death

 

Also looking forward to "The Pacific" a new miniseries from Tom Hanks/Steven Spielberg that promises to be on the level of Band of Brothers.

The Pacific

 

As for Hung, the first episode was pretty good.

I have been a fan of Zach Galifianakis for years and I hope he has lots of success, but it is going to really bother me to see a bunch of people suddenly jump on his bandwagon and annoint him the funniest guy ever (and he is easily one of the funniest) simply based on The Hangover.

Either tattoo "I was the original Galifianakis fan" on your head or get over it. I'd never seen him in anything before The Hangover, and don't think he's the funniest person on the planet, but I am excited for him in this show.

 

You can either get upset about it or embrace it because it means there will be a lot more of him around.

I imagine that's because before 'The Hangover,' none of his movies were funny, and because his name comes from stand-up comedy - not Hollywood.

Don't take it personally, jeez.

You ever see the week he was the guest host on Jimmy Kimmel?
