The network's insistence to keep the Scrubs name in tact despite a total change in cast and location has not changed Lawrence's mind that this is a completely different show that should be under a different umbrella from its predecessor. Lawrence said: "If it goes my way, and we'll see if I win this battle, when it, the credits at the beginning, when it says Scrubs, you know, at the end, it'll then flash again and it'll say Med School."
Finally. I've been waiting for somebody associated with the show to finally come clean that this new incarnation is entirely different from the first eight seasons of the funniest show on television. Although Turk and Dr. Cox return, as well the Todd and Ted, the show is not the original. All I want is this show to be put in a different DVD section from the first eight seasons. It shouldn't be "Season 9" as it should read "Scrubs: Med School, Season 1". That's not too much to ask. It may not seem important now, but after this new show bombs, explodes, implodes or digests itself in the most disgusting fashion, you don't want the off-shoot considered part of the original series. Even if it does well, fingers and toes duly crossed, it still should be its own category and show.I mean, how are we going to explain this to our grandkids someday? Me:"Sammy, this is the second series of Scrubs and it shouldn't be associated with the first eight seasons because it is a different show from the original. There is no JD or Eliot so thith doethn't acthuay counf." Sammy: "Grandpa, your teeth fell out. I'll pick them for you for $200 and the promise you won't talk about Scrubs, the Beatles or Reggie Miller for at least an hour." Me: "Dealth."
Some other changes were announced last week as a new narrator has been named. The new 22-year-old intern named Lucy will take over the role that JD held so tightly for eight great years. Lucy, played by Kerry Bishe (pictured right), is a med student who comes from a family of commercial fisherman...and hilarity ensues. Joining Lucy will be Drew, a 30-something med student, played by Michael Mosley, who is battling back to med school for the second time in his life. Apparently poor Drew suffered a meltdown during his first stint as the top prospect at Harvard Medical School. The other new spot to complete the trifecta will be a character played by Dave Franco named Cole, a wealthy, arrogant med student who is the bane of Dr. Cox's existence.I was thrilled to see that the Todd and Ted will return in recurring roles. That's at least some good news. Also, Sunny will be back as a recurring character, while Denise joins Turk and Dr. Cox as the only full carry-overs from the old show.

Hello, Mr. Radio
No picture for you today. You've been banned until the Commish officially schedules the Corona League Draft.
Info for BoIn the newest version of RAW vs. Smackdown, you can create up to 100 custom wrestlers, your own finishing moves and now you can make your own story lines. Totally awesome. If this doesn't get you into video games then nothing ever will.
My Sox Are White
I talked smack in my last post and I lost in our fantasy baseball league last week. The lips are sealed for the rest of the season. Good luck to everyone.
The True Whodi Lounge
Andy deserves his own spot on here damnit. The people have protested and they're going to get it. This section is tentatively going to include a link to one of Andy's best articles from the week in his paper, the Franklin Press. Then I will highlight my favorite passage or quote from said article. It's gridiron season in the big N.C. and the True Whodi has Franklin covered in a monster 2,000-word season preview. Franklin has moved conferences as it switches to the newly formed Appalachian Athletic Conference.
Coach Brooks laid out his life philosophy and this is a "write that one down" moment for all you children reading. "I think the goals each year are to do things like become a better person, a better teammate, a better young man. To be successful, and success isn't all on wins and losses. The outside perception is. That's one thing we've talked about big time. The responsibility and not lying and all that." Can't say it any better.
You Tube...no, you're a tube
