There have been a ton of new episodes already this season. Is there eventually going to be a multi-week lull in original episodes?

I just noticed they have the Turk phone number on the Scrubs page at NBC.com:

Got a message for Turk? Call him at 916-Call-Turk!

Yeah, if you call the Turk number, you get a voice recording from Turk, telling you that they will be moving the show to the 9p.m. timeslot. He also asks that you go over to pcavote and vote for Scrubs/Zach Braff.

Right now, actually (just called a few minutes before opening this thread), Turk says that they are on a two week vacation, because it's Thanksgiving. He asks again that you vote and wishes you a Happy Thanksgiving.

There have also been numerous people reporting that when they called, they got to talk to various members of the staff/cast - Braff, Faison, Chalke, Flynn, as well as Bill Lawrence, other writers/staff, and assorted members of the supporting cast (The Todd, etc.).

Tonight's Scrubs was one of the funniest I've seen in a while. The past few I have found lacking, and tonight's episode renewed the faith...

Any ep featuring Jordan is a good ep. Loved it when she pulled out the "Turkelton" like Kelso does.

I felt just the opposite.

A couple of chuckles but no laugh out loud moments.

JD talking to Kelso and Cox snd JD cell phonce conversation were about the only funny things.

It's actually quite good. Very well written at times.

I thought it was funny that they cast a real life father and son to play a fictional father and son who turned out not to be father and son.

I believe it's referred to in the industry as 'stunt casting'.......

Wasn't a big fan of tonight's episode either. I didnt like the whole Matthew Perry thing. Very unfunny. In my opinion probably the worst episode all season.

I liked the episode alot. Perry was, as always, Chandler, but he was very good as a guest. I'd like to see him back at some point. It would be great if him and Tom Cavanaugh became friends and tortured JD.

I'll tell you who I DO NOT like, and haven't for awhile now, is Elliot. I'm glad they have been playing her down this season.

I thought it was great to see Matthew Perry and his real dad play son with fake dad needing a kidney. The dad was the original "Old Spice" guy.

For me, plenty of laughs. Elliot finally having the light go on for her to 'working it' was pretty funny, and Murray got the best of her new comprehension of using her feminine charms.

I'll toss in my vote for worst of the season as well.

Loved the Jordan "Turkleton" bit though.
