Easygoing Eyebeast Trenton. Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 So. How do you all feel about the show? How would you rate it? What do you think about it compared to general hospital, greys anatomy, or other hospital shows? Don't use the word hate. You all have tossed that word around so much that I have to find a word stronger than hate to describe how I feel about others… Hmmmmm… I megaloathe you all. Good day!” – Dr. Cox See up there? Right there. Just one of the awesome quotes. I personally think that scrubs is the best TV show of all time. Here are more of my favorite quotes. : I suppose I could riff a list of things that I care as little about as our last week together. Lemme see, uhh... Low-carb diets. Michael Moore. The Republican National Convention. Kabbalah and all Kabbalah-related products. Hi-def TV, the Bush daughters, wireless hot spots, 'The O.C.', the U.N., recycling, getting Punk'd, Danny Gans, the Latin Grammys, the real Grammys. Jeff, that Wiggle who sleeps too darn much! The Yankees payroll, all the red states, all the blue states, every hybrid car, every talk show host! Everything on the planet, everything in the solar system, everything everything everything everything everything everything - eve - everything that exists - past, present and future, in all discovered and undiscovered dimensions. Oh! And Hugh Jackman. Dr. cox, played by John C. McGinley is on it. He is also more known for his roles as Bob Slydell in, "Office Space" O'Neill in Oliver Stone's Platoon and Marv in Stone's Wall Street.

Easygoing Eyebeast Goldengirl Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 After turning mediocre in the later seasons, they had the perfect opportunity to end it cleanly with JD leaving the hospital. Then they decided to try for more. It would have been better to end it, and sooner, than tarnish the good by association. Still, what is good is good. That said, all of the characters were bastard-coated bastards with bastard-filling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curious Artila shoopypit Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 It is a great funny show to half pay attention to. There is a character for everyone to like. Other medical shows? Meh. They are all dramas just in a medical setting. House was good for a couple seasons. That is about it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Well-Actually War Trall Actaeon Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 Most shows jump the shark at some point, unless the network pulls a Firefly. Medical shows, in particular, seem to become more soap opera-ish as writers run out of ideas that actually have to do with medicine. House lost me about halfway through, I couldn't get into Scrubs or Gray's Anatomy, and even ER peters out around season eight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supposedly they're filming any time now, and it'll air early '13 (according to Hurwitz's Twitter page). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curious Artila shoopypit Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 One show i would like to point out that is entertaining for at least a few episodes is Castle.

Hatchling Cockatrice Alorael at Large Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 Having watched about a season and a half of Scrubs, I feel fully qualified to say that it's pretty consistently funny, does a very mixed job of portraying the incidentals of working in a hospital with any realism, and I don't feel compelled to watch more. —Alorael, who agrees that Arrested Development is up there. He'd also give Battlestar Galactica high marks for quality, although it also had some struggles towards the end. Not so much repeating plots, though, but just not quite knowing how to wrap up, tie off, and cut hanging threads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Easygoing Eyebeast Trenton. Posted June 19, 2012 Author Share Posted June 19, 2012 My Musical was a great episode with such hits as, Are you okay, are you alright? Welcome to sacred heart! Everything comes down to poo! Its guy love! And ofcourse, DR COX's all famous music rant: Patti: Dr. Cox, I'm not crazy! Dr. Cox: Am I still singing? Patti: Singing like a bird J.D: Dr. Cox, huge news! I pulled some strings and got the parking spot right behind yours! Bumper buddies! Dr. Cox: Still, you're not ne-he-hearly as bad as her Do you know how much you annoy me? The answer is a lot Should I list the reasons why? Well, I don't see why not It's your hair, your nose, your chinless face You always need a hug Not to mention all the manly appletinis that you chug That you think I am your mentor just continues to perplex And, oh my God, stop telling me when you have nerdy sex! J.D: Oh, by the way, last time Kim was in town, we got some appletinis and poured 'em on her good parts! Dr. Cox: See now, Newbie, that's the thing you do that drives me up a tree 'Cause no matter how I rant at you, you never let me be! So I'm stuck with all your daydreaming, your wish to be my son It makes me suicidal and I'm not the only one No, I'm not the only one Janitor: It all started with a penny in the door There was a hatred I had never felt before So now I'll make him pay, each and every day Until that moussed-haired little nuisance...is...no...more Dr. Cox: So now that is why I call you names like Carol, Jane, and Sue Like Moesha, Kim, and Lillian, Suzanne and Betty-Lou See, regardless of the names I pick, my feelings are quite clear You're a pain in every day of every month of every year! Patti: Dr. Cox, you gotta help me, 'cause I really am distressed! Can't you find another option, won't you run another test? Dr. Cox: If you want some kind of favor, really any kind of favor Please just get me peace and quiet from this God-forsaken pest! J.D: I think what my bumper-buddy is trying to say... Patti: Shut your cake-hole, Mary-Beth, or I swear to God I'll shut it soon!

Easygoing Eyebeast keira Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 It'd be nice if there was a feature like on reddit, /., and other such sites where users can rate forum posts. If a post gets 'downvoted' enough, it gets minimized by default in the topic view and doesn't fire the forum's new post indicator. Or we could just not have posts made that would be filtered by this system. One thing people have to realize is that high postcount rate and quality posting are not mutually exclusive, they just tend to be. Look at Randomizer, for example. Over 200 posts since sw-daily v2 went online, currently has the second-highest post rate on the forum. And yet I can't think of a time where I was annoyed by a Randomizer post.

In case no one else has mentioned this, posting at an absurd rate is NOT the best way to gain status in the community. Your post count is a factor, as is your member number, but the quality of your posts and your secondary contributions (satellite boards, scenarios, campaigns...) make a big difference. Try not to post for posting's sake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hatchling Cockatrice Men are from Slars Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 I'm annoyed by pretty much everyone's posts at some point -- and I imagine the reverse is true as well. It's a question of balancing out the positive contributions you make to the community versus the ones that may irritate some people. If someone's positive contributions are high, and you generally appreciate their presence, it's a lot easier to give them the benefit of the doubt when they make posts that are stupid, or spammy, or just in poor taste. Originally Posted By: U883r 1337 !7r3n70n I also make sure all my posts HERE are relevent to the topic. This is a good place to start. That doesn't automatically save them from being spam, however. The other thing to aim for is making a post only when it will be meaningful and interesting to your audience (which may be different from what you yourself find meaningful and interesting). Everyone makes stupid, boring posts now and again -- it's only human -- but the less often you do so, the more you will be appreciated and the less you will be accused of spamming.

Ineffable Wingbolt BMA Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 Letting everyone post and delete at will -or better still, edit their own post counts- would go a long way towards keeping the forum clean of spammy irritating posts.

Kyshakk Koan Lauren CW Posted June 24, 2012 Share Posted June 24, 2012 Scrubs is one of the only shows that, when I am flipping through cable channels and come across it, I will always stop for it. No matter how many times I have seen the episode, I'll stop and watch it again. That being said, Arrested Development is the funniest show on television. At the scene where someone picks up a certain man in a banana suit with a claw-crane, I laughed for 5 minutes straight tears running down my face and my sides felt like I did 500 sit-ups in a matter of minutes. No exaggeration. I've never laughed that hard at ANYTHING on television. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
