I haven’t read many pieces lately that seemed worth sharing. But there’s a very important TV premiere tonight that forced my hand. Even then, one of these is a YouTube video. I need to read more/better during my Internet time.
OMGOMGOMG, Scrubs is back! One of my eight favorite comedies of all time! I trust Bill Lawrence and the rest of the team behind the show to revive it without sucking too much. I glanced at a couple reviews, both of which suggest while it doesn’t reach the heights of its prime – how could it? – it is the rare revival that works. That’s good enough for me.
Scrubs was never a huge hit, and it won only a couple of technical Emmys during its run. It debuted during the tail end of the ER phenomenon, and then Grey’s Anatomy and House debuted midway through its run—it never even had the hospital-show lane to itself, even though it was much more of a comedy than the others…
The humor provided relief from the kind of angst and despair that Meredith Grey and her peers were dealing with on the other medical shows.
