I thought this was supposed to be the final season, but I guess not.

How has this season been? I’ve only seen a couple of shows, for various reasons.

The story says that ABC wants _Scrubs_, not that it’s actually happened yet.

Yeah, let’s not jump the gun here. _Scrubs_ has been a hit, and I can’t see NBC letting it go without a fight.

That’s not what it said when I originally linked to it.

Not very good at all, actually. I was pretty happy to let the show go before it completed its trajectory over the shark.

I’ve almost stopped watching because it seems like they want to make you as depressed as they can while still pretending it’s a comedy.

Agreed. This season has been pretty awful.

I agree. The characters were fun when they were dysfunctional weirdos. Now, with the possible exception of JD (who had a kid, but still seems pretty dysfunctional), they’ve all settled down, had kids and mellowed out.

Even the villians (Kelso and the Janitor) have had too many warm and fuzzy moments, they’re not as interesting anymore.
