I’d Still Check Into Sacred Heart Hospital
May 5th, 2006 at 08:30 amIt seems like this time every year one actor turns in a performance worthy of 9000 Emmys and a boatload of hot models. Last year it was Terry O’Quinn from LOST with the episode where you-know-who did you-know-what. This time around, it was John C. McGinley who proved himself to be a man amongst boys with his performance in Scrubs these past two episodes. If his portrayal of Dr. Cox wasn’t enough to sway your soul and draw out a few tears, then you are a heartless robot who should never procreate. Seriously, we have enough trouble with robots as it is, we don’t need your soulless robot babies running around next. I’ve been a huge fan of Scrubs ever since season 2 and if NBC doesn’t renew it for next year, it only goes to show how clueless that network truly is. Thankfully, ABC is waiting with open arms and drooling mouths to snatch up Scrubs, so all is well.
And on a side note, I don’t think any show in recent memory has better used obscure music than Scrubs. I have no idea how many songs from my playlist I first discovered from an episode, but suffice to say I think the cream of the crop was the ending song last week from The Fray titled “How To Save A Life,” which you can continently find over on Shyzer Radio.

I don’t keep up with Scrubs anymore, as it comes on during the same time slot as House, and I am hopelessly addicted to that show. I guess I feel the same way about Hugh Laurie as you do about John C. McGinley.
About music and television shows, I’ve found that Grey’s Anatomy, Nip/Tuck, and Six Feet Under all have pretty decent tracks from time to time. And The OC, but I pretend I don’t watch it.

You just named 5 shows I’ve never seen more than two episodes of.
I’ve meant to check out Six Feet Under, but I just never got around to downloa…er, renting the episodes from Blockbuster.
On a side note, I just read that the theme song to House is “Teardrop” by Massive Attack. If so, I might actually watch a few episodes of it simply for the reason that any show using that song as their theme can’t be too bad.

Scrubs is the only non-cartoon television show that I am remotely interested in, which is probably saying something (I’m not sure if the something is good or bad.) Hooray for it!

The Fray is pretty much awesome. I really want that CD.

I liked episode 20 a hell of a lot, but 21 was a bit meh. Plus McGinley doesn’t really do any acting in the second one.

I think the thing that saved it for me in episode 21 was the pure fact that he finally called him J.D.
The whole Turk subplot in that episode was retarded though.

Comments are fun to delete too.

Random sidenote, I just read that there is a “Scrubs” soundtrack being released exclusively through iTunes. Thought that might interest you.
