The ball buster dance scene was hilarious

JD seems to be turning into Jerry Seinfeld where he gets a new random girl almost every other episode.

The lonely guy thing was weird.

While I did LOL, I thought it was missing a killer zinger that would have elevated from an average episode, even with the Juliana Marguiles (I had to stare at her a bit to realize it was her) appearance. Her nut-cracking dance number was painful to watch, but funny.

It's a good thing Juliana already had all that medical jargon spewage training while on ER.

Turk and the Janitor going hand-to-hand was amusing.

Carla's twitching got a few laughs out of me.

Donald finding his true calling in dead patient was strangely grounded in the essence of the character.

How many women goes JD get to make out with on this show? He's the new Captain Kirk of this generation.

It is getting a little ridiculous. I know he's a good looking guy and all but Heather Graham one week, Juliana Marguiles the next?!

Although I think that it would be pretty funny if they had an episode like the "Mulva" episode of Seinfeld but in a Scrubs setting.

Yeah, I was expecting Cal Worthington and his dog Spot when they went to that scene. People on the East Coast wouldn't have gotten it, but those commercials used to run up here non-stop in the 80's and I know Cal Worthington started in California.

It's called "A Doug"
The only Donald is the guy who plays Turk

I'll miss doug's antics, but realistically, is there any way he would still be around with all his screw-ups?

No, but then again, would most of the cast?

I never really liked JM on ER, but I kinda liked her on Scrubs, although not as much as Graham.

We need more Ted!

well, of course it's a comedy, so they have their antics, but when you're killing people left and right, even that's a little much as far as stretching reality goes.

They made out at her going away party. I'd say that's getting somewhere.

Turk Broadcasts His Digits on 'Scrubs'
(Wednesday, November 10 02:29 PM)
LOS ANGELES (Zap2it.com) In discussing his new, "perfect" cell-phone number on "Scrubs" Tuesday (Nov. 9), surgeon Chris Turk (Donald Faison) remarked that "If you call Turk, you get Turk."

Turns out that's true in real life as well. Usually, anyway.

Fans and curious TV critics who dial Turk's phone number, 916-CALL-TURK, get a taped message from Faison, in character, thanking them for calling and encouraging them to keep watching "Scrubs." "I couldn't get to the phone right now, but you've called Turk," the message says. "And that's a great thing, I'll tell you that much."

The show's cast is having some fun with the number too. A Zap2it.com staffer called the number Wednesday afternoon, only to hear this live voice on the other end: "You've called Turk, Dr. Kelso speaking." (Flustered by this turn of events, the Zap2it staffer mumbled something about having the wrong number and hung up as Dr. Kelso (Ken Jenkins) chuckled.)

Turk's message also notes that "Scrubs" is moving from 9:30 p.m. to 9 p.m. ET on Tuesdays in the near future. An NBC rep couldn't be reached to confirm when the move will take place.

Turk's number at least the second real phone number to be included in a prime-time TV episode this season, instead of the fake 555-numbers usually used in TV and movies. Earlier this season, Luke (Scott Patterson) left his cell number, 860-294-1986, on a message for Lorelai (Lauren Graham) in a "Gilmore Girls" episode. The number leads to a message from Patterson urging support for a new children's facility at Baltimore's Johns Hopkins Hospital.

I just called the number and spoke to an assistant director! He said the DVD is going to come out sometime around next September (they just had a mtg last week). He said the delay is due to the fact that they want to make sure they have enough episodes for syndication first.

He also said that they are going to keep answering the phone (when on-set) until people stop calling it. I'm going to be addicted to this thing! He said the cast had just left awhile ago, and that they were just wrapping things up.

He asked if I wanted to pass along any messages, and I told him to tell Zach that Garden State rocked!

What a cool call!

I noticed it, but didn't think that I personally would get ahold of a live person. Was pretty darn cool!

Did anyone else think the dream of Cal Turk was a take-off on Eddie Murphy's skit from SNL where he was undercover as a white man?

I just called and got Turk'smessage. He wants everyone to go to www.pcavote.com because SCRUBS is up for a people's choice award, as is Zach Braff.

Too bad I didn't get a live person. I'll try again another time.

I'm tempted to call and remind them that a huge majority of surgeons don't lift weights (this has been featured a couple times) it makes their hands shake.
