Face it, if you are a Scrubs fan then last year was rough. NBC cut the Season short and tried to make the world hate Scrubs with the “finale” fiasco. Have no fear though because ABC has saved the day and Scrubs Season 8 is upon us. Check here all season for Scrubs episode recaps and reviews!
Synopsis:
“My Jerks,” Dr. Kelso’s beautiful but unethical replacement, Dr. Maddox (played by guest star Courteney Cox), shakes things up at Sacred Heart, while J.D. struggles to manage a new crop of incompetent interns and Carla helps Elliott put her ego in check. You will notice I start the bulk of the segment categories with the word “My”…I only do this because that is how all the eps are titled, and I am to tired to be more cleaver.
My Thoughts:
Really great way to start of Season 8. Not sure if Courteney Cox really sold me on the Chief of Medicine part but she was still quite funny and came in strong. The bed balloon bit had me cracking up all show long and I just can’t get enough of Ted (Sam Lloyd). When he cried out “My Balloon”, I nearly fell on the floor. And Turk is 1/8 Japanese?

Just saw that Bill Lawrence (the creator and brilliant mind behind the show) has blog on ABC. He posted something today called Premiere Day. It’s well worth the read either before or after you watch the Scrubs Season 8 premiere.
To tempt you more here are some clips from his post. Also note he mentions that his wife, Christa Miller (Jordan), will be posting later tonight.
Man, I’d like the show to do well tonight. I haven’t really followed ratings for a long while, but I guess I’d like NBC to feel stupid. Still, Zach and I laughed because we wouldn’t be surprised if the ratings are the same they always are, even with all the promotion.
*side note…I predict ratings go up.
Also… he goes on a short rant on “haters”…they deserve it if you asked me. It’s tough putting yourself out there like they do. Anyhow.
Also, Bill shares a short spoiler… see if you can spot it. Also, you can get lot more in my Scrubs Season 8 Spoiler post.
And SCRUBS (though I’ve said too much on this topic before) wouldn’t go forward unless it was based around existing regulars. If any Haters dislike the "I really want to &@$#* you" duet sung by Ted and his (spoiler) girlfriend, then I have lost track of what’s funny.

Kim from buddy TV emailed to encourage people to vote for Robin and Barney for the best relationship of 2008. It’s kind of a head to head voting challenge. How I Met Your Mother’s only mention comes from Robin and Barney. Now don’t get me wrong, I love the Robin and Barney couple idea but does anyone else feel that Lily and Marshall got the shaft here? Lily and Marshall are a very cool couple in my opinion. Just got overlooked I suppose.
Here is a full list of couples that did make the cut:
1. Chuck & Blair (Gossip Girl)
2. Chuck & Sarah (Chuck)
3. Chuck & Ned (Pushing Daisies)
4. Booth & Brennan (Bones)
5. Michael & Sara (Prison Break)
6. Nathan & Haley (One Tree Hill)
7. Lucas & Peyton (One Tree Hill)
8. Lucas & Brook (One Tree Hill)
9. Danny & Lindsay (CSI: NY)
10. Callie & Mark (Grey’s Anatomy)
11. Jack & Kate (Lost)
12. Sawyer & Kate (Lost)
13. Dexter & Rita (Dexter)
14. Barney & Robin (How I Met Your Mother)
15. Jim & Pam (The Office)
16. Starr & Dallas (The Amazing Race)
17. Spencer & Ashley (South of Nowhere)
18. Lois & Clark (Smallville)
19. Sylar & Elle (Heroes)
20. Sam & Ruby (Supernatural)
It looks like Robin and Barney need all the help they can get here! Michael and Sara from Prison Break seem to be running away with it! My other favorites on the list are Sam and Ruby from Supernatural and Chuck and Sarah from Chuck, but back to the point go vote for Robin and Barney on Buddy TV.

Recently, I got an email comment from a visitor to Be Awesome Instead, which read:
I stumbled onto a single image from your site (anyone can be cool but
awesome takes practice). I decided to come check out the rest of the site
and I have to say…disappointed man. Take a stroll around yonder
Intertubes. There’s a whole other level of awesome out there, I think you’d be surprised. I recommend getting a Stumbleupon account and rethinking what’s going on here at beawesomeinstead.com. Ill check back, hope to see some
awesome!
This bothered me at first, but you tend to grow some thick skin when you play online so I took some time, thought on it and replied asking the person to be a bit more specific, what they were looking for and what they expected?
No Answer.
Still it makes me wonder, what are people looking for when they visit BAI? I have all kinds of stats (articles visited, most comments, search terms, etc.) and I try to use these to gauge the content of the site. When BAI first started, it was on a whim and I had no idea what I was doing. I got the name after watching an episode of How I Met Your Mother and hearing Barney (Neil Patrick Harris) say, “When I get sad, I just stop being sad and be awesome instead. True Story.” In fact, the Awesomeness Poster is still a huge part of this site!
The content of the site has wondered at times but I try to focus on great (and awesome) shows I watch like HIMYM and Scrubs as well as other interesting/funny things I would consider awesome. De-motivational posters have been popular, as have some other quite random things I never thought people would care about. (On a side note, it’s really annoying when people hotlink to your content. I have toyed with disabling it but I will hold off for now. Just stop it. Stealing bandwidth like that is not awesome, it sucks. And if you aren’t smart enough to figure how to copy a pic to your own site and host it there and then leave a credit link then feel free to contact me and I will be happy to teach you.) Sorry for the rant, I digress.
I say all that to ask this, what are you looking for here? How I Met Your Mother show recaps? Scrubs stuff? Awesomeness? BAI has increased from it’s awesome beginnings to around 450 unique visits and over 1100 page views a day, so I assume with the growth something keeps people coming back. Sound off below, so the site can better serve you and thanks for visiting.
*note…this is NOT an attempt at a New Years Resolution…Resolutions are worthless. I resolved a long time ago to never make another and I haven’t…see the irony? Besides, if you can’t change when it’s needed waiting until New Years won’t make a difference.

This is not so much a Scrubs Season 8 Spoiler…though they have been getting updated, have you noticed?…but, Kristin from E!Online had some small scoops on Scrubs 8th Season and said:
Don’t miss the credits! They might be the best part of the entire episode. The writers take some cleverly disguised jabs at their lack of awards recognition, and it is priceless.
Season 8 will Premier on ABC on January 6th at 8:00pm CST, but there should be a webisode featuring the new interns interns sometime on January 1st at ABC.com. The webisodes will focus on the newest interns at Sacred Heart Hospital, and will introduce their characters before Season Eight begins.
And remember! DON”T MISS THE CREDITS!
