I can't find a link to the article right now, but I read today that Scrubs is going to be moved to Tuesday nights. NBC is moving The Apprentice back to Thursday because it got thumped by American Idol yesterday. Just a heads up for all you fellow Scrubs fans.

Well, that's great. Now it'll get slaughtered by American Idol and NBC will get to cancel it like they've always wanted.

Bastards. This is the only original comedy left on network TV.

Cute episode, enjoyed Eliot's and Carla's bonding adventure, JD's intrepidation of Danni's staying over, Terk and Cox not budging on what they each knew was right and Terk earning Cox's respect.

Didn't need to see the gimp, though...

Way to go, Ted!

Todd's balls... LOL!

Too bad it looks like The Apprentice is going to shove Scrubs off the schedule next week.

God it was nice to have this show back and have a new episode. Freaking NBC won't even show re-runs of this grand masterpiece.

Turk and Cox were great tonight. Their back and forth dialogue was spot-on perfect.

I have to say that I admire J.D. and Turk's rule about bringing your own TP if you are going to stay at their place. And then they show Carla w/ her own at the end of the show.

They could do so much better than Tara Reid on this show, like bring back Amy Smart as the Tasty Coma Wife (or widow). Gift Shop Girl would work, too. Either way, there are plenty of actresses out there w/ much more talent than twiggy Miss Reid.

Great episode tonight, glad to see it back on.

Here is an article talking about the time change.

Trump Trumped by 'Idol' in TV Ratings
Thu Jan 22, 5:39 PM ET

By DAVID BAUDER, AP Television Writer

NEW YORK - Donald Trump was no match for a bunch of bad singers just begging for insults from Simon Cowell.

Fox's "American Idol" left Trump's "The Apprentice" on NBC in the ratings dust Wednesday night. An estimated 29.4 million people watched "Idol" and 12.3 million saw Trump's reality show, which aired at the same hour, Nielsen Media Research said on Thursday.

NBC quickly moved "The Apprentice" back to Thursday nights.

A week earlier, more than 20 million people watched "The Apprentice," when it followed "Friends" on the schedule and didn't have to go against "American Idol."

The real estate mogul wasn't happy about the move to Wednesday night when asked about it on Wednesday's "Today" show.

"It was doing so well," he said. "It was No. 1 in a certain slot. It followed `Friends.' And I think I question the strategy."

Trump got his wish. Starting next week, "The Apprentice" will air Thursdays at 9 p.m. "Will & Grace" will move a half-hour earlier, and "Scrubs" is shifted to Tuesday nights."

NBC will air reruns of "The Apprentice" against "American Idol" each Wednesday.

The three nights of "American Idol" proved it has remained a ratings juggernaut, despite being off the air since last May. Twenty-nine million people watched Monday's debut of the third season, 28.6 million watched Tuesday, and Wednesday's numbers topped them all.

Fox said the numbers exceeded their expectations. What's more important for the network: it boosted the shows around them. "The O.C.," which directly followed "American Idol," drew a series-record audience of 12.7 million Wednesday.

And because "American Idol" aired right before President Bush (news - web sites)'s State of the Union address Tuesday, Fox's coverage of the speech outdrew ABC's audience (8.3 million to 8.2 million). An estimated 9.6 million people saw the speech on NBC, and 8.6 million on CBS.


And from another article:
http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmp...ion_ratings_dc

...
NBC, which has been willing to scramble its schedule in an effort to blunt competitive threats, is once again retooling its lineup. Starting Jan. 31, the low-rated "Tracy Morgan Show" moves from 8 p.m. Tuesdays to 8 p.m. Saturdays. To shore up the Tuesday schedule, "Whoopi" will move up a half-hour to 8 p.m., followed by "Happy Family," while "Scrubs" will be imported from Thursdays to lead out of "Frasier."


However, that new Tuesday schedule could not be called permanent. On Feb. 10, NBC will "supersize" two "Will & Grace" episodes, followed by a supersized "Scrubs" at 9:20 p.m. And the following Tuesday comes a special 90-minute "Fear Factor," followed by an original "Scrubs" at 9:30 p.m.
...

Wow so easy to follow huh?

What do you expect from a network that calls Friends "the best comedy ever!"?

First, i LOVE this show.

But, for some reason, i didn't really like this episode. Although i can't put my finger on it, i just didn't enjoy it too much (except for a few moments in the 2nd half). I felt like i was forcing myself to laugh for the most part. Normally, i'm laughing out loud the whole time. That first scene was completely laugh-free.

Weird.

Have the writers changed? The new episodes seem to be more "in your face funny" humor instead of be subtle and not explaining each joke, kind of how the Simpsons was about 8 years ago compared to the new episodes.

Go Ted! Hilarious.

I'm over Tara Reid, though. She has to be the most boring actress, her character is incredibly uninteresting. On a show filled with colorful characters, that's not a good move. I'll be glad when her arc ends.

What if they featured Christa Miller and Tara Reid in the leather S&M outfits having their way with the Gimp?

Saw it earlier. That was funny. Turk was in his element this time. And man, when they revealed that it was Ted at the end, I was cheering.
