Scrubs 5x20 - My Lunch

Mr E

Anyone else think that this was the best episode of scrubs since season 3? Just the right mix of funny and serious (and the serious stuff was pretty hard to watch).

Basq

100% agree - read a lot of people criticise it over the

rabies

stuff!

But some absolutely fantastic acting from Johnny C and Zach just pushed it into the best episodes in a long long time.. and definantly since series 3. And the excellent song over the closing few minutes

along with Cox breaking down and, what i think might be, Cox possibly throwing in the towel due to that final line.

Powerful, powerful stuff. And those somewhat serious episodes are what seperates this show from every other comedy out there - with episodes like 'My Screw Up' and 'My Old Lady' being with me for a long long time.

Loved the

Todd's Gay

storyline too - just for the

long Italian sausage

quip!

Shame to see

Jill die - always loved her re-apperances into the show every so often

Great stuff indeed,

I hope that is not the end of Dr. Cox as I think he is class. The Todd stuff was just class, the episode was so serious as well, pretty sad as well.

Only 4 left for this season now I think. Does anyone know will there be a 6th season?

Things have been quite shady since the end of series 3..

Braff was rumoured to be leaving (due to success on 'Garden State' etc.) but said he'd stay on for another year.

They were quite close to being axed last season (one of the reasons for the late start this year) and with ratings not exactly improving, as well as NBC having comedies like 'My Name Is Earl' and 'The Office' outperforming it each week.. i'd probably be counting on either NBC to axe it or Bill Lawrence to do the honorable thing and stop it after this season.

I am hearing there is a great chance of another season.

It was a great ep - powerful stuff indeed.

The show has been so surreal this season - hope they keep it up. It looks like they'd have great craic filming the episodes.

Loved "His Story III" - can't get enough of the Janitor.

Also - anytime Doug has appeared this season has been side-splitting hilarious. Remember when he needed to re-trace his footsteps to the vending machine? I fell off the couch laughing.

very good episode

Great episode, one of the better of the season so far. According to the short summary of the last episode on TV.com it would lead into another series on a cliffhanger-type of thing.

monomaniac

Hey thought you guys might be interested - I met John C. McGinley last night (Dr. Cox) in a pub. I was hammered so i don't think he was really appreciating my chat too much

Anyway, I told him how much I enjoyed the last episode and tried to get some info about the cliffhanger and he said "you'll not believe what happens next". Hope Coxy ain't leaving.

Anyway, he said they had finished filming the episodes for this season and wasn't sure yet whether it'll be back next year.

Nice guy - he has a brother that looks the spit of him and he and his family were all over visiting their irish cousin.

Oh yeah - I also asked him about the running "Hugh Jackman" jokes and whether he had a personal dislike for him- he said no

Loved this episode, best on out of Season 5 without a doubt. The ending was stunning, quite frankly. Here's hoping that they continue

Cox's descent down the 'slippery slope'

for the rest of the season.

The second half of this season has been much better than the first IMO. My favourite episodes of this season have to be "My Lunch", "My Way Home" and "His Story III". Hopefully they can keep the standard of the last few episodes up until the season's end. If so, then I would look forward to season 6 if it was produced. Otherwise, it might be the right time to say goodbye to Sacred Heart.

Mr E

There are 4 episodes left in the seaon. Lets hope they keep the standard up....

Which bar did you see him in

monomaniac

It was actually a bar in belfast - whites. Went up there for a night out.

Cactus Col

Also, very little of Elliot in this episode, which was very refreshing.

I like Scrubs this season has been good some very funny janiter/cox moments

Basq

Some solid acting in last night's episode also... and the

knife-wrench

,

"donkey boy"

and the

Public Service Announcement

ad were brillant also!

Ishmael

Anyone know what the name of the song at the end of the episode is, or who sings it?
