I just finished reading an [interview](http://www.zach-braff.com/thetodd.html) with him (The Todd) and he says that he just likes to keep the act up while on set. Who knows. My favorite episode with The Todd is My Lunch, where Carla and Elliot “convince” him that he’s really gay. > [@](#): > > The Todd: Hey Mickhead! Is that package for me? You know it is! > Turk: You ladies must be so proud. > Elliot: Todd, what are you doing? > The Todd: I’m getting my gay-on. Hey buddy, you and I should totally have sex sometime. > Turk: See, I knew this was going to come back to me. > > Surgeon: Todd, you were impressive in surgery today. > The Todd: Thanks man! You were really impressive in the shower this morning. You know, dong wise. Of course this is all just an act to get closer to the girls.? ---

[QUOTE=Big Bad Voodoo Lou] Some Doper actually knows Robert Maschio, who plays The Todd. I forget who it is, but he’s posted about it before. [/QUOTE] \*\*Mahaloth \*\*has exchanged emails with him, but I don’t think he knows him personally. That’s all I got after a search on his name. He does sound funny. In very, very small doses. And over the internet, where he can’t ogle my tits. Or high five them. 😃 ---

The fourth sitcom in the new Thursday night lineup will be 30 Rock, which means that NBC will be offering two solid hours of sitcoms _without a single laughtrack_. Apparently, the apocalypse has been cancelled. I hated 30 Rock and bailed on it after two episodes, but then gave it one last shot when I bailed on Jericho. That episode happened to be fucking hysterical (the poker game) and it’s been good ever since. So I’m as giddy as a schoolgirl for the new Thursday lineup. IMO: Earl: B+ Office: A Scrubs: A+ 30 Rock: B That’s fucking excellent, especially when you consider that NBC has _always_ had a shit-eating craptacular trainwreck taking up at least one of the spots. (Veronica’s Closet?!) And ER is back in form as well, approaching the quality of the golden era. Thursday nights are now “low-rated must-see tv,” and I couldn’t be happier about it. (ER is down about a half million viewers, and no laughtrack-less sitcom has ever rated well on any network.) I adore sitcoms without laughtracks, and was pissed when that ABC one got cancelled last year. (Sons & Daughters, IIRC.) But this new lineup is easing some of that sting nicely. ---

So, NBC has managed to resurrect Must See Thursdays, again. ---

SiL is a doctor. One of the things that we took as pointers that she was… coming on her own as one was when she stopped drinking doctor shows. There was a time, back when she was preparing her apprenticeship tests, when every time she came home we’d have to drop all attempts to conversation or move to another room for one hour because, you see, ER was on. Once, I was watching scrubs with Mom, our first episode ever, and she turns to me and says “you know, I think I might actually get to like this one. First, they actually make mistakes. Second, making a mistake is not the end of the world. Third, I think my daughter in law will hate it.” She wasn’t very happy with the SiL at that moment, I’m sure y’all can tell. And by the way: Mom does love the show. And SiL does hate it. ---

I love JD & Turk’s devotion to dumb pop culture, such as putting Optimus Prime on the nursery wall, and that they watch Judge Dredd every time it’s on TV. And of course (to the tune of Sanford & Son): Baby, it’s time to watch the show Don’t be licking me no mo’ ---

Apparently I love _Scrubs_ more than I thought. Last night I had an incredibly dirty dream about Perry Cox. :eek: Of course, that could also come from watching 4 episodes a night. It’s the only show I make an effort to watch these days. It’s also the only show to have me in tears more than I care to admit. Yeah, I love it. ---
