the gleny.community to know about let me know.. I would love

THE END OF SUMMER and the
return of Local nites out!
" Long intros, short credits
o Sometimes I forget that it's still the beginning of the show
because the intro segment is so long. Then, when it comes time
for credits, they're only about 5 seconds long! They have a
longer version that they tried once, but they decided to keep
it short in order to have more minutes in the show itself. That
rocks!
" Heartfelt without being cheesy
o Everyone always asks me why I hate reading Nicholas Sparks
books. They're just to ridiculously cheesy! Granted, I've only
read Message in a Bottle, and maybe I'm not giving him a fair
shot, but ugh it's just ridiculous. Scrubs has never made me
feel that way. The way that the show approaches tragedy and
loss is like nothing I've seen before. Your tears can turn from
tears of laughter into tears of sorrow and back in seconds.
" Consistent
o I'm not going to say that I don't have favorite episodes;
of course I do. The 100th episode (Wizard of Oz parody) is my
all-time #1 pick, but I don't think there are any that are my
least favorite. I don't think I've ever sat down for an episode
of Scrubs and walked away disappointed. It's always funny. It's
always sincere (albeit a surreal, loopy sort of sincere). It's
always fantastic.
" Makes you love the characters you hate;
makes you hate the characters you love
o Just when you think that Dr. Kelso can't be more of a jerk,
he goes and calls Enid and says something romantic to her. Just
when you think JD is just too funny and caring to be real, he
goes and says something horrible and hurts his friend's feelings.
And Dr. Cox…well, even though he's mean most of the time,
we all know we're supposed to love him anyway. I don't think
anyone cares as much as he does. Either way, you're not supposed
to love or hate any of the characters all of the time. They're
well developed and multidimensional, and that's why I love watching
their relationships.
" Dr Acula
o JD is always talking about his movie, Dr. Acula. It's about
a doctor who is also a…well, you've probably figured it
out yourself. It's another one of those running jokes; they
use it just enough to keep it funny but not too much as to subject
it to overkill. I love when they show clips from it. That must
be a hoot to film!
" Stunts
o The physical comedy on "Scrubs" is just too funny.
You never know which character will be tripping over the Janitor's
mop, falling off the counter, slamming into lunch carts, pill
carts, or any other sorts of carts. Zach Braff does most of
his own stunts, although now he has a herniated disk and has
to settle down a bit. A shame.
" Risks
o Sometimes Scrubs is filled with good old family humor. Aaannnnnddd…sometimes
it's not. In fact, sometimes the jokes are so off-color that
I feel like I'm going to Hell just for laughing. But you know
what? I'm ok with that.
" Running jokes
o My personal favorite running joke is the one about Dr. Mickhead.
It started with a pun…probably the one you're thinking.
But then to bring it up like 14 episodes later…that's just
awesome. It's almost like a payoff to the fans that hang in
there for every episode and keep the show going despite its
erratic schedule (I can't tell you how many people say they
don't watch it because they don't know when it's on). In Season
5, they made an episode called My Déjà vu, and
they used jokes from all the way back in Seasons 1 and 2 (in
YOUR endo). Good stuff.
" Lots of guest stars
o Michael J. Fox
o Heather Locklear
o Tara Reid
o Brendan Frasier
o Heather Graham
o to name just a few - there are tons
" Girls' names
o They must have a book of baby names that they use to come
up with all of the different girls' names that Dr. Cox calls
JD. I love that he calls JD a different name every time (or
the classic, "newbie"), but he is consistent with
everyone else, like Barbie for Elliot and Nervous Guy for Doug.
The best part about the name thing is when Dr. Cox calls JD
JD. Whenever that happens, it's always at a time when tears
are rolling down my face.
" Elliot's bras
o They pay special attention not to repeat the color and/or
style of Elliot's bras. I just think it's hilarious that she
shows her bra that much that they'd need to even worry about
it, and then they follow through on it.
" Ted and his a capella band
o I know it's terrible to laugh at someone else's sorrow, but
Ted is just hilarious! His life just can't get any worse, and
I crack up hysterically every time he's on the screen. His a
capella band, The Worthless Peons, is actually his band in real
life. I love that they let him bring that on the show.
I was going to do a whole BACK TO SCHOOL girl in uniform shoot this
month, but it didn't happen. Here is a nice shot of our friend Christina
just to quench that little fetish. I think next month I found 2 school
girls to pose in a church for the Halloween Edition.. I am going to
be posting some of the never before seen by public HALLOWEEN 05 photos..
should be worth a looksie.
