    I can't believe i forgot to mention the Dr Cox and JD bit in the finale, but as i'm sure you can tell my thoughts were elsewhere with this post. I'm wondering how you feel about the shows future. I know you will still watch but it just feels so dirty to watch this show, it has the same name but its a different show. Wadda ya think?

    Sam,
    You seem a bit angry there buddy, though I am 100% in agreement. I have already decided (contrary to my usual behavior) that I will pretend Scrubs ended last wednesday. I will ignore any subsequent season, and will forever refer to "My Finale" as the finale of the show. It tied everything up, and without J.D. (and unless things have changed, Judy Reyes' Carla)there's really no point to continue. So that ties that up to me. As for you, let's allow a little nostalgia into our discussion. What were some favorites? Personally, I autmoatically name "My Old Lady" (with the wonderful Kathryn Joosten), "My Bed Banter and Beyond" (the original J.D./Elliot together episode, before it got tired and overdone), and "My Last Chance" (J.D. tries to have sex with Heather Graham's Molly Clock. Zaniness, hilarity, and classic moments ensue. "So's your face!" anyone?). Odd that two thirds of my go to favorite episodes are from Season one? What about you?-Jordan

    Well, my favorite episode is probably "My Old Lady" also. It was everything good about Scrubs. Glad to hear you won't go back to the show, but what if I told you Braff signed on for six episodes? I'm still done (and angry) with the show. It was enjoyable, the finale was excellent, but why bring braff back again (or the show!)

    I'm still done as well, though my decision to pretend the show has ended has allowed me to delude myself out of any anger. I'll just say that scrubs was great for five years, awful for two, then mediocre for one. And it ended in Season Eight. Regardless of what reality says. It ended. How did you feel about the show's Emmy record? Tell me you didn't need to see our man John C. McGinley take home a few statues?-Jordan

    take a look at imdb to see what won and was nominated for best comedy for emmys the years scrubs was good and post them in this thread. of course john c mcginley deserved an emmy or two, but you know how awards are.

    2001: Winner: Sex and the City.
    Other Nominees: Everybody Loves Raymond
    Frasier
    Malcolm in the Middle
    Will and Grace

    Jordan's Verdict: Ridiculous. Scrubs Season 1 was awesome, and while I've been getting into Frasier again lately (going to give it an actual try) there is no way that it was better than Scrubs season 1. Sex and the City is a decent show, but didn't deserve the deluge of praise it got.

    2002: Winner: Friends
    Other Nominees: Curb your Enthusiasm
    Everybody Loves Raymond
    Sex and the City
    Will and Grace
    Jordan's Verdict: Friends was a decent show, and I watched it regularly when it was on, but Best Comedy Series? I think not. Scrubs Season 2 was also great! Come on Emmy's!

    2003: Winner: Everybody Loves Raymond
    Other Nominees: Curb Your Enthusiasm
    Friends
    Sex and the City
    Will and Grace

    Jordan's Verdict: Fuck Everybody Loves Raymond. Next!

    2004: Winner: Arrested Development
    Other Nominees: Curb Your Enthusiasm
    Everybody Loves Raymond
    Sex and the City
    Will and Grace
    Jordan's Verdict: Arrested Development was always better than Scrubs. But a nomination over Everybody Loves Raymond wouldn't be too much to ask...

    2005: Winner: Everybody Loves Raymond
    Other Nominees: Arrested Development
    Desperate Housewives
    Scrubs
    Will and Grace

    Jordan's Verdict: Again I say FUCK EVERYBODY LOVES RAYMOND. How could that trahs beat Arrested Development and Scrubs? But hey, at least Scrubs got a nomination for its 5th Season. One nomination? A travesty I say.-Jordan

    It was ok in its early seasons, but it devolved into a half hour of the cast yelling at each other every week. Doris Roberts and Peter Boyle were always very good though. That's a bit off topic though. In a just world, I think Scrubs would have won for its first three seasons. Or at least seasons two and three. Your thoughts?-Jordan

    i agree completely. I think 2001 was its best chance to win simply because it was new, a fresh type of show that was pretty innovative and wouldn't be up against such a tough field as seen with the nominees for '01
