The only TV show to make me cry lol.
It's so much better than the reality shite that's on.
I don't know why people watch things like shipwrecked.
It's just people on an island for fucks sake!

I like Scrubs a lot, but like lots of other American comedies, it's gone down hill in the last couple of series. Especially that 'best of' one they did on the premise of a patient having amnesia. It reeked of scraping the barrel. _________________ One more failed suicide attempt and I don't think you're trying anywhere near hard enough

I don't know but we English folk won't get it for a while.
Few months.
At least =[
People can fly to the US in under 8 hours, but it takes months for a show to come the same distance?
I know theres more to it than just putting in the letter box and waving it goodbye, but they should have a single format for all TV shows worldwide. Then they'd get shown at the same time and people in other countries outside of the production country wouldn't have to creep around the internet watching out for spoilers!
One day...

I was going to launch into a big spiel about downloading it but then I remembered you're at work, and might not have internet at home. _________________ You're wrapped up in a uniform, just a cigarette away

Loads of American TV programmes do that. There was a Fresh Prince one that I saw the other day where Will and Carlton (and Jazz?) were stuck in a lift before Will and Lisa's wedding and they did really cheesy lead ins to "flashbacks".
It's bloody irritating if you're a big fan of something and have seen all the episodes, but it's far from exclusive to Scrubs.
EDIT: In the business they're called "Clip shows". _________________ I've finally seen the distance between us,

if that happened - tv license fees would go even more through the roof than they are now - tv stations would be paying stupid amounts of money for 'deals' to get the rights for a tv show.
that and the language barrier would cause a lot of problems.
then theres the problem of timezone differences - e.g 'primetime' in america can be anything from 1am onwards over here.
in summary - fish.

the simpsons do them well - but (im hoping) they are meant to be piss takes of the whole idea of 'clip shows'
pretty much every program on trouble about 8 years ago was obsessed with using 'flash backs'

There's plenty of websites you can watch Scrubs on as soon as they air in Yankland, I'll put some up when I remember them. The latest one was even on YouTube, I assume it's gone now.
I love Scrubs

Its something thats just really easy to watch when you just wana slouch of the sofa. Ever since i saw Arested Development though practically all comedies just pale in comparrison, nothing even comes close, but scrubs is good for cheap laughs.

I never thought about downloading it actually.
I don't know why.
I'll do it tonight, or have a look on that site that lets you watch full movies for free.
If I remember the name of that I'll put a link up.
And I do have internet at home, so I'll do it when I get there.
