[QUOTE=ivylass]  
When Cox was giving out his “awards” and JD went into his daydream, he cursed Tony Shaloub.

Did _Scrubs_ lose out to _Monk_ at the Emmys? If so…hee hee hee.  
[/QUOTE]

Tony Shalhoub won best actor in a comedy series in 2003, 2005, and 2006. Zach Braff was nominated in 2005.

Very cool reference then. I don’t suppose they would ever consider bringing Tony Shaloub on as well as Michael J Fox as Dr. Kevin Casey?

Does anyone else think that Eliott has lost about 95% of her hotness? Ewww.

She’s a whiny neurotic twit who doesn’t know happy when she sees it.

Did anyone see the live blog with the producer on [NBC.com](http://NBC.com) after the show?

No

Carla has lost something, however.

I agree completely. Judy Reyes looks and acts differently in this episode. Kind of like LaVerne being all serious and pious in the episode in which she gets in the car crash. It is out of character.

What did she do different? I think she’s changed the least out of J.D., Turk, Eliot, and herself.

She looks and acts identical, while the other three have changed massively.

I think the Mars bar is now Snickers with Almonds.

Also, haven’t we seen this episode about ten times before. Scrubs has probably made me laugh more than any other show, but I think that they have taken it about as far as it can go.

I’m not sad to see this as the final season. I plan to just smile along and watch it fade away.

Ah, looking at Wiki, it seems that the Mars Bar I know is the “UK” version; there are no almonds in it, and in fact there has been a massive advertising campaign lately over the fact that it is 100% peanut free. I didn’t know it wasn’t available in the States. “Snickers with Almonds” just isn’t really the same thing at all, is it?

It was first manufactured in Slough in the United Kingdom in 1932 as a sweeter version of the Milky Way bar which Mars produced in the USA.[1] It is made of chocolate-malt nougat topped with a layer of caramel and covered with milk chocolate, and is still marketed outside the USA.

My DVR missed this one, and NBC is fighting with iTunes.

Is there now an alternative, LEGAL download site to get it?

I thought [Amazon.com](http://Amazon.com) was the new site for NBC, but it wasn’t there.
