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!

Had I known you were not aware of the awesomeness that is Scrubs, I would have told you.
[just beware. It could just be me but Scrubs was one of those rare shows that would have me happy and laughing and loving it and then suddenly take this twist and I'd find myself sitting there watching it and bawling. They are *good* at what they do]
Have fun!

I know! I'm only eight episodes in, and it's already happened once -- I was just going along la la la with the funny and cute, and then all of a sudden OMG WTF I'M TRYING NOT TO CRY. And they do it well -- it's not like a sudden left turn from sitcom into "very special episode" territory. The funny and touching and sad is all woven together very effectively.

Yes! I think they might be the masters at it. And I love them for it.
(though I did have a funny experience with Scrubs when I was back living at home. I was trying to tell my mom how awesome it was and showing her random episodes.
Me: *sticks in another episode*
Characters: *talk about sex*
Mom: Why is this show all about sex?
Me: It's not. Really not a main point at all. It must just be this episode. *sticks in another episode*
Characters: *talk about sex*
Me: *sticks in ANOTHER episode*
Characters: *talk about sex*
Mom: *raises eyebrow*
Me: I SWEAR I didn't even process that they talk about sex often at all. I don't know! *flails*
