Scrubs, my favorite comedy on TV, is back for one last season (maybe?).  Moving to ABC after many seasons on NBC (the last couple of which were not up to par with the early years), Scrubs has gone back to their first few seasons for inspiration and came out with a couple of great episodes last night.  You can watch them for free on ABC’s Scrubs website if you missed them last night.

Maybe my favorite exchange of the night came in the second episode and featured Denise, a technically great intern with no bedside manner and George, a patient dying of ischemic bowel disease.

DENISE: Mr. Valentine, I’m Dr. Mahoney. My attending really wants me to connect with my patients, so if it’s OK with you, I thought I’d get the ball rolling with a personal story.

GEORGE: OK. You can call me George.

DENISE: Awesome. Feelin’ it. So, George, last Friday I’m at a bar. I take this guy home.  He’s a little fat. Whatever, right? Plus, chubsters are so grateful, they usually try harder. Anyway, right in the middle of things, he’s sweating and grunting like a hairy rhino and I just start to hate myself. Really, really hate myself… So, without even thinking, I just head butt him right in the face.  Bam. Clock him right between the eyes. Knock him out cold. So, that’s what I got.  What you got going on?

The delivery by the actress was perfect deadpan, one of many times I laughed out loud at the episodes last night.  Maybe I have problems, but I thought it was funny. Go watch.
