"In fact get me a handi-wipe!" rotfl

Um...that's pretty much how I feel. I also feel there was a good 10 or so shows better than AD during it's first year. I'm disappointed with Scrubs this year, but Scrubs at it's worst is better than any other show at it's worst.

It wasn't a criticism, but pointing out the fundamental difference between the two shows.

Oh, I see. Anyway, there are 99 shows on network TV more highly-rated than AD. Scrubs is one of very few of them in the same league as AD; it feels weird to have to take a shot at it.

BTW : While I regularly bemoan the poor ratings of AD, just as unfair is the lack of recognition of Scrubs. What sort of a f-ed up world is it where Zach Braff wins a Grammy before his first Emmy nomination? The complete absence of any major award nominations for Scrubs is just bizzare to me.

I saw Scrubs once, and never saw AD... so Scrubs gets my vote by default

I get more laughs in any 10 minute segment of Scrubs than I did out of the 2 episodes of Arrested Development tonight (2 times of LOL), which I felt tried too hard for the setup for the laughs at the end of the second episode. I feel good about my vote for Scrubs over AR.

Scrubs

The honest answer is, what ever show I'm watching is my favorite. They are that close and that good.

Don't watch Scrubs, but I doubt it would get my vote anyway.

COME ON!

Whew - glad to see I am not the only one. :lol:

Arrested Development. I tried to watch Scrubs, but it wasn't "new viewer friendly." Most of the jokes were references to previous episodes, so I was completely lost. I imagine AD would have the same problem, but I was lucky enough to have watched that from the beginning.

BAH!

Scrubs all the way!!

I agree with das. What are we comparing? Since they aren't similar type shows, it's hard to say either way. If they were canceling one and I got to pick then I would have to keep AD.

Arrested Development

You evil bastard.

Went with AD, but it wasn't an easy choice!

Arrested Development

Sophie's Choice Five...

Wow. This is a tough one. Surpised at how many people watch one and not the other (same type of humor). You have the same type of humor with Reno 911...anyway, I would have to say....Arrested Development though they are neck and neck.

We should hunt down the ONE person who said they don't like either one and...

...STONE THEM!!!!!

THEN BURN THEM AT THE STAKE!!!!!

AND THEN...!!!!!

Arrested Development by far.

Went with Scrubs due to Dr. Cox's continued ability to call JD a different female name everytime he sees him.

It's a tought decision, though. AD is excellent, but I don't watch it during its normal run - I waited last year until it came out on DVD and intend to do so this year, as well. I think it's a show that just works better on DVD than it does on a week-to-week basis. Scrubs, though, I look forward to on a weekly basis. It's always fresh and wonderfully acted.

Both shows, though, are underrated in the Nielsen ratings and Scrubs deserves some award respect.

Scrubs

BTW, better poll choices for these would have been:

Scrubs or Malcolm in The Middle?
Arrested Development or Curb Your Enthusiasm?

I respect the concept for Arrested Development, but I sometimes feel like I'm watching an overlong super bowl commercial. Scrubs is a much better fit for me--A much better microcosm of cartoon-inspired comedy than Ally McBeal ever was.

Arrested Development

I've thought about this and am going to give Scrubs the edge, although both are excellent shows. AD started out great this season, but the last few episodes haven't been up to its insanely high standards (still good, though). Scrubs has been great all season so far, IMO.
