Scrubs
Why is
Arrested Development such a low-rated show and
Scrubs a hit (relatively speaking, at least)? I mean, they’re both smart, funny, eccentric, self-referential comedies. And yet
Scrubs is back for another season with two episodes tonight, while
Arrested Development last night gave us what looked suspiciously like a farewell episode. (Or the beginning of the end, anyway.) They managed to hint broadly at the rumors that HBO had lost interest but Showtime might want to pick up the show. I don’t know if this can be true, since Fox hasn’t “officially” canceled it yet (and if that’s what Showtime is waiting for, then come on, Fox, pull the trigger). I don’t see the show listed in my TiVo program guide any time soon, so I’m not very hopeful. But I am glad to see
Scrubs revived, because it always has something interesting to say and some new direction to take its characters in. I just hope NBC sticks with it and doesn’t move its time slot around, as it has in the past (and as it just did with
My Name Is Earl and
The Office, and as Fox has done with
Arrested Development, which might just be part of the problem there, don’t you think?).
There. In one paragraph I named almost every network comedy that I’d care to be associated with.
