Not sure I like the sound of the description for "My Happy Place."

Also:
Spoiler:
Tonight is Courtney Cox's last episode, correct?

I believe that you are correct.

Spoiler:


... but I'm looking forward to more Scrubs, even though I'll have to watch it on my SD TV since the wife will be watch Idol on the HD TV.

I need an HD DVR.

Re: Scrubs "My Saving Grace" & "My Happy Place" 01/13/09 (on ABC)

1st Episode:
- More laughs than last week
- Jordan... still looks awful
- Great scene with Cox/Kelso
- The Carla/New Doctor thing seem really contrived/flat/repetitive/Ididn'tlikeit

2nd Episode:
- Probably my favorite this season
- Completely surprised by the ending, but I think Kelso was right.
- Turk/Cox was meh, but it really wasn't the focus of the episode.

I couldn't have said it better myself. Only things I'd like to add:

- I won't miss Courtney Cox's character.
- I am SO glad they didn't spend much time on the interns. I'm especially glad that "Ed" was MIA in both episodes. He was by far the worst part of the first two episodes.

It seems they are pairing a silly episode with a heartfelt episode each week. Maybe this is why they are showing 2 each night?

This show feels different to me, and I think that it's far more grounded than it was the past couple of years. I wish they had eased into that transition just a little bit. Still, I'll take any new Scrubs I can get.

Dr. Cox proving his point that The Todd was stupid was in one word:

EPIC.

Janitor is back too. Er. I mean Dr. Jan Itor.

Ending for the second episode:
Spoiler:

The ending had J.D. and Elliot walking out of the hospital together. J.D. just decides to go for it and takes ahold of Elliot's hand. When asked if he is worried about what people will think, J.D. just says "who cares."

"Do you ever think of me in a sexual way?"

And the bits with the Todd and the glass.

Both episodes were hilarious with the second being the best of the four IMO. Every scene with the Todd was top-notch as was Ted.

and Sarah Chalke. In HD. Good gawd.

I definitely agree with this. There's a quietness to it now.

Isn't Elliot still in private practice? Why is she training the interns?

I really liked both eps, but NO TURK in the first ep was a disappointment... seriously, is it due to budget cuts that Donald Faison can only appear in every other episode or what?

All the main characters have to take off 2 episodes for budgetary reasons.

LOVED it. Especially the beginning of the first ep where Jan Itor and JD recall the past.

You wrote on the wall!
You refuse to wear the shorts my imaginary wife *does pointer & thumb/pinky knitting motion* made for you!

I agree the 2nd one was the best so far. I like how they just said, "let's get the JD/Elliott thing out of the way and just put them in their own world to talk about it."

Pinky & thumb/pointer was a nice touch.

No kidding.

Was hoping there would be a screen-cap of her in the purple dress, and then one of JD's subsequent dream.

The first episode was solid, but I liked the second one better.
J.D. and his shirt off gag was hilarious and Sarah Chalke looked faptastic.

Great episodes. I do like seeing JD and Elliot back together although I really hope that they don't somehow break them again somehow.

I agree that its good to see the Todd back. "I feel little JD five"
