Is It Just Me, or Is Scrubs Mailing In Their Final Season???

Ok, I'm (was?) a huge Scrubs fan.  I know the show is not for everyone, but I found the show really funny over the years.  Anyone who can watch their "musical" episode and not say it was great entertainment, regardless of what you think of the rest of the show, has a screw loose! ;-)

This is Scrubs last year after having barely dodged the cancellation bullet on more than one occasion.  I will tell you what, however, if the first few episodes are any indication, they should have just ended it last year.  The writing has been substandard and they are reusing the same style of jokes, sight gags, etc. that used to be great when used in moderation, but have lost their touch when they are the staple of every episode.

I am becoming more and more a fan of the "fixed length" model that seems to be taking hold in television.  Go into a series saying it will last exactly "x years" and its off the races.  The focus really keeps the writers on point since they don't have to try and make stuff up just to keep things going.  Lost is a great example of how a show, once it was decided it will only last three more seasons, suddenly got back on track and started to recapture some of its initial edge (not all, but a big improvement).

I don't watch a ton of TV, but I can appreciate quality when I see it!  Ok, maybe that statement shouldn't be used when discussing TV. ;-)
