'Scrubs' - 100th Episode tonight!

Cafe Society
1

The 100th episode of Scrubs airs tonight and is directed by Zach Braff.

It’s called “My Way Home” and is a send-up (or take-off?) of The Wizard Of Oz, with JD being called in to work on his day off and just wanting to get home again, Turk needing a heart for a transplant patient, Carla wondering if she has the courage to actually be a parent, and Elliott wondering if she has the brains to lead a Q & A session.

Sounds like a good one.

The second episode is called “My Big Bird” and guest-stars Jason Bateman as a patient that JD and Turk have to track down.

If I may say:

Woo Hoo!

Sounds like it will be a great hour of TV. But alas, I fear this season will be the last…no news of another season, and being showed two eps a week seems like a way for NBC to “shuffle out” the last eps they have. :frowning:

3

Well if we get five excellent seasons, that’s more than we can say for a lot of worthy shows, and we’ll never see Scrubs plummet in quality (the ol’ shark-jump).

4

I do enjoy scrubs, although this year we haven’t seen nearly enough of Elliot in skimpy clothing.

5

Ha! He had on Toto! His shoes were ruby-colored!

6

That was a REALLY good episode. I don’t watch too often, but that was just perfect with the Wizard of Oz framework.

7

Also, they were following the yellow-painted line. And Dr. Cox’s kid turned green and looked just like a Munchkin. And Jordan (the wicked witch of the east wing) was meeeeeelting in the heat of her office. And the janitor needed the oil can quickly. And Dr. Cox said to pay no attention to that man behind the curtain. And Dr. Cox repeatedly called JD “Dorothy” during the episode. Any more references I might have missed?

8

The Wizard of Oz stuff was good, but the funniest thing in both episodes was when the ostrich came in with Turk’s cap on its head.

9

In addition to the yellow line being the yellow brick road, all the colored lines could represent going over the rainbow.

10

I also very much liked the opening teaser – how Dr. Cox had his intern page him, just to gloat at him. And bringing in Laverne’s church choir to sing “Payback’s a bitch” at him.

11

Another Oz reference, from the movie…

The patient donating the heart was named Ray Bolger.

I loved both episodes [shoe shopping] - but had trouble watching it - could have been atmospheric disturbances, could have been because I don’t have an HD TV, could have been because someone at my cable compnay’s headend was palying with the buttons, but the show kept digitzing and skipping. In fact channels 2 thru 13 were doing that - so I’m guessing either the first or second explanation. [Victoria’s Secret]

13

I think that was all of them. I loved the mumbled ‘oil can!’ line with the wrench in his mouth.

Anyone know if Cox & Jordan’s kid is the real-life kid of Christa Miller and Bill Lawrence? He looks a little like Bill Lawrence.

14

And the funniest part of THAT is that it didn’t even register for me! I’m so used to Dr. Cox calling JD girls names that that one flew right over my head.

Great episode.

15

I didn’t catch it until the very last time he said it as JD was walking out of the hospital.

16

That WofOz was a pretty funny episode. It lost me a little at the end when it got all cheesy, “you had a brain all along” but if you saw Garden State, that much cheese is to be expected if ZB is directing.

I loved it when JD told Janitor, “I saw a manatee under there.”

“Was it Julian?”

“I don’t know, we didn’t talk.”

“That was Julian.”

(that was in the Wiz of Oz episode, right?)

17

yes

18

Good stuff. Nice catch on the Ray Bolger joke!

Funniest moment though was where Turk and JD meet in Heaven, “By the milkshake pond on the lesbian cloud!”

I liked the first one much better than the second (which was funny as well).

But did anyone else think Jason Bateman was kinda wasted? He pretty much sat on qa couch the whole episode.

19

So…would that make J.D.'s trip into the magical tunnel system his version of going over the rainbow?

Just an idea, of course.

-Joe, likes Toto as well

I jsut rememberd another Oz reference thast made me laugh very hard. At one point, Turk asks Laverne where Ry Bolger’s family was, and she said the doctor’s lpunge. He then telsl her to send all the other surgical ersindets somewhere else. The zoo, the lobby, anywhere.

Later, we see Todd walking down the hallway talking to someone about going to the zoo. As he is walking, he sees a sexy female nurse and turns ot look at her. His dialogue is as follows:

“And they had lions, and tigers, and bears! (Sees sexy nurse) Oh my!”
