Tivo this: Scrubs

|

Scrubs CastIt's been a long time since I thought a comedy on television was actually funny. Too many of them like in the territory between Friends and Just Shoot Me, forcing us to choose between Enya-music and one-liners with a laugh track.

NBC's new comedy, Scrubs, is actually funny -- something I haven't said about a TV comedy show (other than the Simpsons,) in a long, long time. It's younger actors are a little bit weak, but older players such as John C. McGinley add the necessary touch of acidity and bitterness to keep the show appealing (and particularly help distance it from the gooey saccharine of Friends)

A definite Tivo pick.
