Scrubs - My Buddy's Booty
Curse you NBC! Curse you TV Guide! It had been nearly a month since I had seen a new episode of “Scrubs.” I was eagerly anticipating the first new episodes after the Olympics. But TV Guide said that it was preempted by the season premiere of “The Apprentice.” And NBC didn’t do a good job advertising its return. So I missed the first two new episodes. And after watching “My Five Steps” this week, I realized I was missing part of the story and did my best to track down the two episodes I had missed. I’m so happy I found them. They ended up being some of my favorites of the season. The first opened with a brilliant moment between Cox and J.D. when the younger doctor inadvertently caused a patient to fall into a narcoleptic sleep and Cox mocks him while falling straight back to the floor as J.D. starts telling a story. “That had to hurt,” J.D. says as Cox pops up to his feet. “Totally worth it,” he replies. Brilliant comic timing. You probably had to see it to appreciate it. They’ve begun to set up Elliot’s next relationship. And it’s nice to see J.D.’s interns taking a more active role in the series.
