Everything comes down to poo…
…God I love this show…
I liked the episode…
…except that it was too much “let’s copy a representative song from a dozen distinct musicals.” Distracting for a theater [strike]geek[/strike] aficionado to say “that one was Evita, and that was Stephanie D’Abruzzo’s own Avenue Q. There’s Rent or Grease.”
“Guy Love” was perfection, though.
I love Kate Monster.
Guess I’m in the minority.
I’ve loved Scrubs for the last five years, and I like musicals as a casual viewer.
But I really, really hated this episode.

Buffy did it first, and better.
“Guy Love” was pretty good, so I wouldn’t say it was a terrible episode. However, I really don’t like musicals very much, so this episode didn’t strike a chord with me (hah, I slay me). Not being into musicals at all, I didn’t even recognize what songs they were parodying.
Correction: Xena did it first. Bitter Suite aired in 1998. OMWF aired in 2000.
The show has always played with it’s episode structure. They’ve done an episode where they only used jokes from previous episodes. They did the House parody a few weeks ago.
Even if it’s been done before, at least a musical doesn’t seem out of place for them.
Guy Love and Poo were both really funny.
It looks like some of us were underwhelmed with this episode. I had high hopes for it, but it’s not good when the only thing I liked about it was a song about poo.
I even thought Dr. Cox’s rant song wasn’t that good either.
I liked Poo and Guy Love, but my favorite was the Domincan Tango.
I was generally surprised at how well most of the cast sang. I certainly didn’t expect it from, say, the Janitor or Bob Kelso – although there was that one episode where Eliot had a copy of Bob Kelso’s blues tape, and he didn’t sound too bad there either.
I missed Jordan, though.
I loved it. They are so good at poking fun at themselves.
I thought it was a lot of fun. I’m glad they came up with a way to introduce the musical concept that wasn’t just one of JD’s standard daydreams.
Dr. Cox’s song was a pleasant surprise because I didn’t at all expect a Gilbert and Sullivan-style patter song, but it was perfect for him. It even contained one of his trademark "re-HE-ally"s.
Agreed that the “Everything Comes Down to Poo” number was the best.
It was okay. Not great. Guy Love was the only thing that really clicked for me.
But I can’t begrudge them the experiment, since Scrubs has done “stunt” episodes before (my life in three cameras, anyone?) and hit it out of the park.
i thought this was the lamest episode of this show. well, except for the poo song, and the take off on “we go together”
I will say this - those guys can sing! I loved Janitor’s deep baritone and Carla’s lyric alto.
Buffy did it better from a script POV - the songs made sense within the framework of that universe. Unfortunately, only half the actors in that episode could sing. (if you’re wondering: Giles, Spike, Tara, and Sweet. and maybe Anya)
That was the only song that was good, probably because it fed off the real conflict between Carla & Turk. Everything else seemed too self-consciously “clever”, though the Grease number scored points for sheer enthusiasm.
What about David Fury? No love for The Mustard Man? 
I’m 3 minutes in and God forgive me for saying this about Scrubs, but I hope it gets better.
