Thursday Night TV, including Scrubs

Scrubs is back! Yeah. Finally seriously funny TV with characters I really care about, but first...Friends:

So the last season of Friends keeps going and while I did laugh, I also kept thinking how nice it is when most of these characters are retired. It seems to be that they aren't sure what to do with Phoebe, which explains the whole non "take one of my kids, please" plot line. And while the idea behind Chandler and Monica trying to adopt is good, it really isn't that interesting. Ross continues to be funny, but still really, really annoying. Rachel is alright, but Joey is really my favorite character, which is why I'm glad he's the one getting the spin-off. They took the cliched dumb character and made him really sensitive and now I'm rooting for him to walk away with Rachel, though since I don't think she's on the spin-off that this will actually happen.

On to Scrubs. Perfection. It was funny and it made you really feel bad for Elliot. Great part was when Elliot actually said "So Janitor, what should I do?" And a nice bit of continuity with the Janitor saying that his mother, who was actually his grandmother said something and then something happened with his sister, who was really his mother. He mentioned that before, so I'm glad they're continuing to go with that backstory. Still doesn't top last year when he took over teaching a class and wrote on the board that his name was "Dr. Jan Itor."

Coupling still bores me, I'm actually watching it while I am typing this. Meh.
