      Now the question is when you’re going to introduce them to 30 Rock. Are they ready for that level of jokes-per-minute? What about Community?

      Shameless (original version).
      And Black adder, Allô Allô, House MD… c’mon, put some effort into it.

    I wish I had the fond memories for this show that others do. My sibling wanted to get into medicine and would binge medical shows at home all the time. This was the first one. A few episodes is fine. But having this run 8 hours a day non-stop just made me hate this show. It’s way too formulaic to binge like that.

      I don’t think there are many shows I can take more than 4 episodes at one time. I remember visiting my cousin, and when I was leaving we watched Arrested Development until it was time to go to the airport. I found it funny and was enjoying it, but by hour 3 I was done and have never been able to get into it since.

    Man, I hope it’s good. Scrubs is my favorite non-scifi show. I want to buy the whole thing on bluray/dvd but right now I can’t find the whole thing. Some people, when you say “Eagle,” think the bird. Some people think “USA”. I think about Turk and JD.

      I wish they would do an HD release of the show. NBC only ordered it as an SD show for most of the series, because that was the era of the transition and only some shows were ordered for HD and budgeted to use the HD production equipment. The Director of Photography shot the whole thing on 16mm film, though, and framed everything so there was a 16x9 safe shot in case they ever went back to upgrade it for syndication or home release. “All” it would take is re-scanning the original film into HD and taking the edit list from the original version and applying it to the same timecode.

    As one of those Gen Z-ers, this tracks. Never heard of ‘Scrubs’

    Scrubs just isn’t that good. It was ok to have onas background TV while getting baked, but its not the sort of thing you’d rewatch because you loved it so much the first time round. I totally understand why gen z hasn’t heard of it.

      Strongly disagree. Scrubs is one of my two favorite shows. It’s a brilliant example of dramedy. Showrunner Bill Lawrence is a master of the genre.

      But obviously this is a matter of opinion.

    I’m with the girl on this one. I barely remember that show. I hate shows like that. I didn’t like St elsewhere. When it was on I was always elsewhere.

      Yep, a built in marketing base of old farts telling young uns how good it is before it even exists.
