Well, after a lot of shows listed as cancelled, or soon to be cancelled, we started to see new episodes of shows start popping in after the new year. Chief among these was Scrubs, one of my favorite comedies!
For 7 seasons Scrubs has been on NBC, which has always treated Scrubs pretty...well, scrubby. Changing its nights willy nilly...putting it on hiatus...never knowing if it is coming back until the last minute. And last season was the worst...with the writer's strike, what was meant to be the final season turned into a horrible mish mash that NBC would not allow the creative staff the leeway to try to end the way they thought the series should go out.
So, as the series is produced by ABC studios, it went to ABC for a final season of 18episodes to go in style, with a proper send off, and boy, did the final season start of strong. Funny, touching and with great writing and acting, the final season of Scrubs looks to be on par with the best seasons of the show.
30 Rock returned, and Liz Lemon dated a little person. I have to say, this story line had us laughing, because my lovely wife once went to a nightclub party that our friend Sharon was hosting in PB. There she decided to dance with a little person (after a few drinks) and later in the evening committed the terrible act of patting him on the head!!!! C'MON! So Liz Lemon, you are not alone! This is such a funny show.
And Lipstick Jungle has aired its last episode, and went out in nice style. I liked the show, if not always some of the story lines. The thing that pisses me off is that this show gets bumped and they have crapola like Momma's Boy on and other reality dreck that is the worst kind of scum. Really? And you can't keep this show?
More TV to come as more shows return...
