I kind of like the touchy feely orderly. That was a good gag!
Anyone catch tonight's episode? Titled "Their Story II" it got into the minds of the new interns. I thought it was really good. The "X Story" episodes are usually pretty awesome but this is one of my favourites so far. It was cool to see what these interns are all about.
Dr. Mahoney ("Jo") had trouble being the one who was the caring doctor versus Elliot, which was kind of a switch. And it came off as genuine. I always thought Jo had more going on beneath the surface. Yet she still had some good bitch lines.
Sunny had a rivalry with the Janitor, or rather a non-rivalry. I hope she ends up being kind of JD's replacement for the Janitor when the series ends. She's just as geeky and just as easy a target. Or is she? Anyway, she's kind of the "star" of the webisodes at ABC's website and she's had like 2 episodes so far, but she's done enough to ingratiate herself to me.
They introduced a new guy tonight, "Derek" who basically lived the whole episode in his head. And he had an awesome "My Last Day" style rant at everyone pointing out their shortcomings. I hope they don't let this guy fall by the wayside following through to the end. He seems cool. Anyone willing to tell Cox, Carla, JD and Turk what he thinks of them all at once on his second day is not to be missed!
After a long break and a few so-so episodes, Scrubs was back in fine form tonight. Bring the rest on!

When did tonight's epsiode air? It was airing on Tuesday's at 8:00 and all those commercial said it was moving to Wednesday. I tune in tonight and there's an hour of "LOST", followed by another hour long show, then prime time was over. Did I miss something? Did they move it to pre-prime time or something?
I'm getting annoyed. Between the move and the show not going really to it's roots like the creator said in some interviews before it started airing, I am a little disappointed. Right now my interest level may vanish if I have to struggle to catch it.

I liked Derek, he was a cool guy.
Well I disagree with the creative points, but it's been on at 8:00 Eastern on Wednesday since last week.
Yeah, I think there was a thought that they might be going on after this season without Zach Braff while they were writing it. Hell, there was that sense long after they were done filming it! But I think Bill Lawrence is out and it's just not happening at this point.
Fine by me. It's been a great ride and I think we should let sleeping dogs lie come May.
8:00 EST would make that 7:00 here. Why the hell would they put it on before regualr prime time hours? That's strange as hell.
Starts at 8:00 here too generally. The only time any other station here shows programs before that is FOX with Simpsons/King of the Hill at 7:00 on sundays.
Well, now it's got to compete for my attention with "Bill O'Reilly".
7:00 here is usually re-runs time. Used to show "Knight Rider" and "Nash Bridges" re-runs a few months ago at that time.

Only two national feeds and two "prime times"... one for the East and one for the West. The Eastern feed is seen an hour earlier by Central viewers and the Pacific feed is seen an hour later by Mountain viewers... 8pm in the Eastern is 7pm in the Central and 8pm in the Pacific is 9pm in the Mountain.
I've lived in Central and Mountain, so primetime has always been 7-10 for me. That seems great, as 9 is early for the night to end, and 11 rather late. Especially if you live on the east coast with a late sporting event.
But I've had insomnia for months now, so it doesn't really matter when they put it on for me...
The word is that while Lawrence and Braff are gone, and Donald Faison and John C. McGinley just signed pilot deals, Scrubs' run on ABC is pulling in a significantly larger young male (18-25) demographic than the network traditionally gets ... and as a result, ABC is trying to convince Zach Braff to agree to a number of cameo appearances for a ninth season.
While that reeks of what happened to The X-Files, with the lead gone and some supporting characters sticking around, Wednesday night's episode proved that the whole thing just might work. On the other hand, it's best to quit while you're ahead.
ABC would be MAD MAD MAD to give Scrubs a 9th season (no matter how much I love it) let it die a half decent death. I have no problem with a spinoff if changed enough to not just be a carbon copy and they should call it "Interns" and leave Scrubs off the name 100%. Scrubs has loss so many viewers that leaving the name off any spinoff would be better.
If you miss an ep because of the weird scheduling, they are posted at abc.com
If they took the interns and moved them as a spinoff to another hospital, I might watch that. Another year in Sacred Heart though, I might not. Though they need to dump "Elliot-lite" intern.
