The television show Scrubs has much to recommend it.
If you click on the title of this post, you can see a video summary of the instances when Sesame Street characters come into the show! (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dF06yXYNQPU&feature=related).
For a couple of seasons it became a bit sleazy, on the orders of the network who wanted to boost ratings. But it settled down again in the main, and while it's not a show for kids, it is very amusing indeed.
And poignant.
There are instances where it can move from the ridiculous to the sublime, often with the use of music. Here is the list of songs on the best of Scrubs album:
 | 1. | Superman - Lazlo Bane |
| 2. | All in My Head - Shawn Mullins |
| 3. | Fresh Feeling - Eels |
| 4. | Good Time - Leroy |
| 5. | Good Life - Francis Dunnery |
| 6. | New Slang - The Shins |
| 7. | Beautiful World - Colin Hay |
| 8. | Hold on Hope - Guided By Voices |
| 9. | Fighting For My Love - Nil Lara |
| 10. | Dracula From Houston - Butthole Surfers |
| 11. | Hooch - Everything |
| 12. | Hallelujah - John Cale |
| 13. | Have It All - Jeremy Kay |
| 14. | End Credit Score - Jan Stevens |
| 15. | Overkill - Colin Hay |
It somehow works to blend the silliness of having the Muppet characters in the daydream sequences of the show, alongside instances of sadness and joy in suffering and struggle.
So the point of this post is....I really like this show. So does the Authoress for that matter. What about you -- favourite Scrubs moments?
In the words of the Todd, "Blogger Five!"
