F'list, you've been holding out on me! Why has no one told me about the awesomeness of Scrubs? (Although I swear someone did post about it awhile back -- xparrot maybe?)

I've caught an episode here and there on TV over the years, enough to be vaguely familiar with the two main guys and to get the general idea that it was a fun show, but we just finished up the first disk of season one (most of it tonight) and oh, they are all so impossibly cute! I adore the whole cast, every last one of them! (Though, er, I might have a slight weakness for Dr. Cox. Just a leeeetle bit.) I'm just kind of flailing helplessly at how much character development, affection and sheer adorableness they've managed to pack into eight half-hour episodes, and there's still so much of it to go!

Heeeeeeee! The hetero life partners! And the fact that all of the characters have interesting relationships with each other, not just as proxies - if that's the word I'm looking for when you know someone as "JD's friend"... And it makes me cry! In a good way. Occasionally. But it does this thing where you think you're watching crazy comedy humor, and you are, but for all the laughs it's still about real emotions, and real people. And what that does - meep. So good.

There's something about drama that comes out of left field (but not out of nowhere) like that. It's what I enjoy about my current anime crush - it's all about lighthearted, funny stuff until it whams you with a serious moment, which hits all the harder for coming from characters you spend so much time laughing at/with. Which I like a lot better than just pure comedy - I find Psych adorable and funny, but ultimately unsatisfying, because it never goes anywhere different.

In other words - oh, Scrubs! You're making me all nostalgic for it. ♥
