Erin The Great

I just spent the last hour gazing upon the wonderment that is ‘Must See NBC Thursday’. (I wish I could add fanfare to follow that, but I’m not geeky enough) After months and months of waiting in anticipation, they finally came! Brand spankin’ new episodes of The Office and Scrubs! It was the best hour of my life!

The Office starts off with an ‘Overtime party’, that Michael sets up to get Jim/Pam and Angela/Andy to go to dinner at his house with Jan for a ‘couples dinner’. I laughed, I cried and I cringed through MOST of it. I thought the first season was good but the fourth season is shaping up to be better than the last three. My favorite parts were the interviews in the bathroom with hushed tones so their ‘hosts’ (more like captures) can’t hear them and a surprise visit from Dwight and some random lady he picked off the street. Between Jan’s old secretary’s music, the constant ‘babes’ and Jan thinking that Michael and Pam used to be lovers…It’s a good thing I wasn’t eating anything because I would have choked several times.

Scrubs picks off right where the last one left off, with this particular day being Turk and Carla’s Anniversary of their first date. The show starts with Turk and JD talking to the interns from the roof of the hospital, where the interns have turned into the old Atari game ‘spaced invaders’. As the interns start dancing around just like the game, Turk and JD begin throwing water balloons them causing one of them to receive a concussion. It then moves onto Turk wanting ‘Brinner’ or breakfast for dinner. He had secretly learned Spanish for Carla but instead of telling her, he decides to use it to his advantage. Elliot helps JD take a burn victim to his graduation where he promptly falls after 5 steps, but at least the dynamic duo is back together as really good friends…. My only hope is that they get together already and realize that they’re perfect for each other.

I hope your viewing pleasure was as good as mine. It was a great night for NBC and they should be proud! Especially after the episode of ‘My Name Is Earl’ where Joy, Darnell and Randy try to cross off ‘stole a man’s motorcycle’ off Earl’s list because Earl is in a coma. Seeing Randy in a Chicken costume was totally worth it!
