Scrubs, much like another favourite of mine Ed, has always been one of the best shows on tv. it always seems to find a perfect balance between comedy and drama week after week, even through all the time slots moves, cancellation threats and overall lackluster ratings. scrubs should be retired as one of the blockbuster sitcoms of all time but sadly critical acclaim and a cult following don’t equal $$ to tv networks. abc has definitely done a much better job of promoting the show than nbc ever did, but still it never quite hit ‘Friends’ or ‘Cosby Show’ hype as i firmly believe it should have.

anyways, i could literally go on for pages and pages about scrubs…but i won’t. i’ll just bid a very sad farewell to jd, turk, elliot, carla, dr cox, dr kelso, janitor, rowdy, the todd, jordan, jack, laverne, tasty coma wife, gift shop girl, ted, ted’s band(the worthless peons), gooch, doug, keith, lonnie, hooch(is crazy), lloyd the delivery guy, denise, dr beardfacé, dr mickhead, dr wen, snoop dogg attending (formerly snoop dogg resident and snoop dogg intern), colonel doctor, jimmy the overly touchy orderly, leonarad the security guard with the hook for the hand, randall the janitor, troy the cafeteria worker, laverneagain, jo, all of jd’s hot guest-starring girlfriends, dan, dr. zeltzer, cabbage, sasha the scooter, enid and all the others that have made me laugh and tonight will possibly make me shed a tear or two.

in the words of JD : “Goodbye trumpet player I don’t know. Now I know why your music is so sad.”

Update : the finale was so good i had to watch it twice…and i’m man enough to admit i teared up both times! so sad yet so great.
