Did I miss it, or did nobody start a thread for last night’s Scrubs? How could we let the week pass without at least mentioning the best dialog exchange of the evening? **Jordan** : You know, one of the reasons I divorced Perry was because of his last name. **Elliot** : You don’t like Cox? **Jordan** : Actually, I _love_ Cox. **The Todd** : Greatest conversation ever. ---

“My God that’s a big sausage!” I liked J.D.'s butt transplant dance. ---

PS- There’s a very good chance this show will not be returning even though it’s still getting great ratings. The contracts of the cast members are up for renewal and according to scuttlebutt they all want huge raises as they want to make movies. NBC execs have said that if they meet the pay demands they’ll lose money on the show (rather like they did on _Cheers_ which was breaking even or losing money depending on the report in the last few seasons when even the supporting characters were earning millions). Of course it could be an NBC intimidation tactic. ---

Please don’t scare me like this. :smack: Let’s all send them pictures of David Caruso. The Cox exchange is my favorite Scrubs moment ever. I was laughing so hard that I nearly choked on my water.

I read somewhere the other day that the only cast member NOT under contract for next year (ABC, who produces the show, has an option) was Braff. Either way, renewal may hinge on Scrubs success on iTunes. Scrubs is the first show that has two different corporate parents to be released to iTunes. But like I told my wife, if the show ends after season 5, I’ll be content. Five great seasons is not a bad run. Anything else was gravy. > [@](#): > > “My God that’s a big sausage!” “I’m needed elsewhere.” I also enjoyed: - Dr. Kelso’s affection for his dog. - The old intern made a sex joke that cracked me up, but I can’t recall. - Brick House - JD in Blackface and later getting bowled. - JD and Turk’s admiration for the cruise comedian. - The stare wars ---

Cox’s “Happy Place” was also fun – especially the first time he came out of it, when Jordan and Elliot had arranged for their “double date”… **Cox** : Something horrible just happened… ---

> [@Elza B](#): > > Let’s all send them pictures of David Caruso. Ditto. I think we should all have David Caruso pictures handy in cases where actors think if they go into movies, they’ll hit it big. I like Braff and all, and think Garden State was a good movie, but I don’t think he’ll have the same success in that medium. ---

I exchanged emails with Rob “the Todd” Maschio recently. This seems like a pretty good space to fill you all in on something my wife and I have wondered. I wrote: > [@](#): > > Robert, > > \*\*My wife and love “the Todd” on Scrubs, but we have a question. Isn’t it difficult having to report to the set for what is usually only a few lines? Does it interfere with other acting jobs? > > I guess that’s two questions, but they are related. Thanks for your time.\*\* We had always wondered that. He wrote back in about two days with this answer. I’m Brian, by the way. > [@](#): > > \*\*hey brian, > > thanks for the email…and the answers to your questions are: yes and yes. Do you have a part time job for me to pass the time and make some money…mow the lawn, repaint a garage door, baby sit the kids in the evening so you and the Mrs. can take in a movie…of course my fee might be a bit high, but as you see from the show, I commit 100% to everything I do…take care. > > Rob Maschio\*\* Nice guy. I wrote back and he wrote again. Seems laid back. ---

> [@Frostillicus](#): > > Don’t forget their new smash hit, **Teachers**! :rolleyes: > > PS I am a teacher. …exactly. And I’ll soon be marrying a teacher. Well, eventually. I haven’t gotten her opinion, but I’m guessing it’ll be a big ‘blech’ from her, too. So, again, besides Law & Order, L&O:SVU, L&O:CI…what does NBC have? **Teachers** has to go, which is a shame, because I’d like to see Sarah Alexander do well. -Joe
