\nWell God damn, they absolutely nailed the landing here. This season was very good, but I was a little annoyed throughout as it didn\u2019t seem to be moving forward much. Or at least Jimmy wasn\u2019t. And as the main character, it seemed like he should be doing more than treading water, even if that meant sinking. I was worried they were falling into the dreaded Season Three Problem<\/em> of falling in love with the show\u2019s cuteness and cozying up to that rather than taking chances. I don\u2019t think they ever really took chances, but, woof, that final episode, notably the last five minutes. All set up by when they finally let Jimmy sink in the previous couple episodes. Can\u2019t wait to see what season four holds. All the major players are back but Bill Lawrence has hinted at a very different direction.<\/p>\n
\nOnly two episodes this month, wrapping up the show\u2019s wonderful return. In terms of pure fan service, I\u2019m not sure there\u2019s been a better revival of a beloved show than this. Started off great, slowly worked to integrate the newer characters, and by the close of the season was locked in. Bringing back all the OG regulars except for Dr. Kelso was good work by Bill Lawrence.[1]<\/a> As I\u2019ve said last month, this show made me laugh more than any other \u201cnew\u201d comedy I\u2019ve watched in ages. ABC just announced Scrubs<\/em> will return next year, a rare win for good in these horrible times.<\/p>\n
\nI watched this again after listening to The Rewatchables episode<\/a> about it. Terrific film. Does a lot and still checks in right at two hours, which is the greatest. I gave it an A- five years ago. I\u2019m bumping it up.<\/p>\n
\nA movie based on a Don Winslow novella? With some great actors? Hell yes, sign me up. It was probably 10\u201315 minutes too long (like most movies) and tried a little too hard in the closing scenes. But pretty entertaining overall.<\/p>\n
\nI was SOOOOO excited when I heard about this documentary that covered the late \u201890s, early \u201800s Portland Trail Blazers. A team that was moments away from the NBA Finals in 2000 before blowing it and never getting back. But also a team more known for its bad behavior, on and off the court, thus the nickname \u201cJail Blazers.\u201d While there were some good moments, I felt this gave way too much attention to general manager Bob Whitsitt, and focused on too few players. You never got a feel for the entire team, just three major players and one who was briefly on the roster. There\u2019s a truly lamentable \u201cfan\u201d who complains about everything. There was far too much Colin Cowherd. It was a subject rich with opportunities for a legendary doc. This fell way short.<\/p>\n
