Scrubs

How gaya do we look? More here.

Maybe its because it's the first medical related series I've watched, maybe it's because Sarah Chalke is too quirky and neuroticly hot for words, or maybe its the lameness-laugh-out-loud moments that hit like bullets.. JD's ongoing monologue is so lame at times it even gets to me.

Anyway, for the past few weeks, exams notwithstanding, I've breezed through the 5 seasons of Scrubs like Jack watching 24 24 hours a day. Favourite episodes included the one in season 1 where all 3 of the main characters face death, the one in season 5 where Dr Cox faces his religious sister, and the repeat of the season 3 episode in season 5( I wonder if the deja-vu scenes were reused).

Don't get me wrong, Scrubs is not deep, in fact I thought it was pretty superficial..'dinnertime material' as Squeaks puts it. But it never fails to entertain, and me being the slightly-prone-to-develop-connections-with-main-characters-in-movies kinda guy (which is also why I hate horror films), Scrubs pulls me in every time, whether its about JD's current relationship, or about Dr. Kelso's putting on a brave face and making tough decisions at work.

In fact, it's been interesting enough that I've done some random internet searches on it, and came up with this website where a father wins a walk-on role for a Scrubs episode and brings his family along for the ride. Check it out here. Besides being a great intro to how Scrubs is backstage, its also interesting reading.

The good thing is, since season 5 is as far as they've got, I can finally study my heart out now. Whipple's triad, here I come!
