Scrubs = FAIL

When Seinfeld and company stopped production while they were the top rated show on television, I couldn’t understand why.

Today I finally get it.

After watching Scrubs mail in yet another episode last night, I now know the reason it is so important to get out while the getting is good.

I haven’t watched Scrubs religiously since the first season, but I’ve watched seemingly hundreds of different episodes on syndication. And the last couple of months Jason and I have been working through the seasons on DVD during our lunch breaks. We’re midway through the third season right now, and it’s a riot.

Then I juxtapose those against what I’ve watched for the last three weeks and all I see is overacting and lame jokes. It all feels forced and out of date. It was a sad realization. Hopefully as we watch the remainder of the seasons I won’t see the end happen as quickly as I did last night.

RIP Scrubs. You were great once.

Seperated At Birth?

Am I the only one that thought Lena Headey (Sarah Connor Chronicles, 300), and Thomas Cavanagh (Ed, Scrubs) were related?

Lunch Options

Superman and I have been working our way through different TV series’ on our lunch breaks. Since the half-hour shows are really only 22-25 minutes, we can squeeze in two during each break. So far we’ve worked our way through Season 1 of WKRP In Cincinnati, Seasons 1-4 of NewsRadio, Season 1 of LOST, Seasons 1-6 of Seinfeld, and we’re almost done with the Season 7 of Seinfeld.

Season 8 of Seinfeld, and Season 5 of NewsRadio are both still available for purchase, but I’m holding out for a birthday or Christmas present with those. Or at least for the prices to drop a bit. So now we have to consider our options. Here are our two top choices available: 

The Simpsons -or- Scrubs

What’s your pick?
