Scrubs the Musical: “Everything Comes Down to Poo”

Filed under Scrubs, TV Comedy, TV News, Zach Braff
In the words of Barney Stinson, January 18th is going to be a ‘wait for it…wait for it…LEGENDARY’ night of television. Why? Because at 9pm ET/PT Scrubs will premiere its first ever musical episode. And the writers brought in the big guns for this one. Robert Lopez and Jeff Marx, the Tony Award winning composers of the Broadway hit Avenue Q, wrote the songs for the show. This is going to be a special night for TV - “must see TV” if you will.
Check out a sneak peek of the Scrubs musical in the second music video released. Of course this is still Scrubs and not Broadway,hence the aptly titled “Everything Comes Down to Poo”

Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve 2007
Ryan Seacrest helps his idol host this annual favorite from Times Square in New York City, where Christina Aguilera, Ludacris, Rihanna and KT Tunstall perform. If you’re looking for Fergie — she’s handling hosting duties in Hollywood.
MeeVee recently got a chance to talk to New Year’s Rockin’ Eve co-host Ryan Seacrest. They talked about what’s in store for New Year’s, the future of American Idol, and of course….his hair regimen. Click here to read 5 Questions with Ryan Seacrest
New Year’s Eve With Carson Daly
Carson Daly proves he’s nothing like Dick Clark or Ryan Seacrest by ringing in the New Year in New York City’s Times Square. Panic! at the Disco performs. I have to say I am vaguely intrigued to watch Carson Daly bring in the New year. I mean, how interesting will it be if high winds invade New York City and the poster boy for manorexia carried off like that annoying feather from Forrest Gump. That will be something.
20/20 - The Year Caught on Tape
The title pretty much sums it up, but in case you’re still confused, the year would be 2006. And don’t get too excited, this is still 20/20. So some of the most interesting (and nasty) footage caught in 2006 probably won’t be appearing on this program. But really, do we really need to see Britney’s vajayjay again? Yeah, that alone is enough to want me forget 2006 every happened.
Dirty Dancing - Artem
The world of ballroom dancing gets even heavier when demanding dancer Artem trains three women at a cha-cha boot camp. Yes, but will be teach them on a log over water? Or how about jumping off stage to do “the lift”? And will he rescue these women from a corner? He better if he’s going to call it Dirty Dancing.
Rudy…You Get Me Everytime

Just wondering if there is anyone out there that can manage to watch Rudy without crying? I’ve seen it at least 50 times now and I cry from the minute he leads the team from the tunnel through the end when they carry him off the field. I just finished watching it on HBO, and even though I’m running late to meet friends (sorry Lari & Steve) I can’t ever manage to shut this movie off once I see it on the tube. God, I think I need a drink. Rudy drives me to drink…thanks.
EW’s Year in TV Sound Bites

Every month Entertainment Weekly gathers the best quips and quotes from TV. Now as we get near the end of the year, they have compiled a bunch of the quotes from each month and have posted them as a treat for all of us. Here’s my favorites from each month, but head over to EW.com to read all of the quotes.
JANUARY
Uh, Jason…when you’re filling out a female patient’s exam report, her breasts can be ‘Healthy’ or ‘Unhealthy.’ Never ‘Bangin’ Double Ds.’
- J.D. (ZACH BRAFF), ADDRESSING ONE OF HIS INTERNS, ON SCRUBS
FEBRUARY
Hold on a second…. Jon, I’m being told Whittington’s condition has now been upgraded from ’stable’ to ’stable, but still shot in the face by the Vice President.
- ED HELMS, FAKE REPORTING ON THE HEALTH OF HARRY WHITTINGTON FROM ”OUTSIDE A HOSPITAL IN CORPUS CHRISTI, TEXAS,” ON THE DAILY SHOW
MARCH
I swear to God, Cristina, I like you, I really do. But I grew up in a trailer park, and I am not above kicking your pampered little Beverly Hills ass. And I do mean physically kicking your ass.
- IZZIE (KATHERINE HEIGL) TO CRISTINA (SANDRA OH), ON GREY’S ANATOMY
APRIL
Should I go and get a ruler?
- KATE (EVANGELINE LILLY), WITNESSING A MACHO-MAN STANDOFF BETWEEN JACK (MATTHEW FOX) AND SAWYER (JOSH HOLLOWAY), ON LOSTThe Year in TV (Part Uno)

Filed under TV NewsI can only begin to imagine how many Best Of…Worst Of lists you have been subjected to over the past few weeks. But I have to say, moving into a new year doesn’t seem right without reflecting back on the year that was. And what a year it has been for TV. We are smack in the middle of some of the best television we will ever see. Enjoy it people - it only goes downhill from here.
So I guess it’s my turn to look back, and share the best and worst (*cough* Happy Hour *cough*) of TV in 2006. A scientific panel was gathered and consulted to bring you this list (yes, the GMMR recappers are all scientists, you didn’t know). So here’s the best of the best and the worst of the worst…of the shows we watched in 2006. Oh and since this is my blog, and I can pretty much call the shots, be warned that there isn’t any rhyme or reason to my 2006 review (but this is GMMR you should be used to this by now). And in some categories…well, let’s just say that some decisions were just too hard to make. This is the first installment of GMMR’s “The Year in TV”, so check back later to read more about my take on TV in 2006. And I fully expect for my good little GMMRers to share your thoughts with us too.
On we go….
Best TV Trend of 2006:
No nominees needed here, because there can really only be one winner: Towels. From what I know, the trend started with Battlestar Galactica and has been growing steadily all year. No one expected McSteamy to blow back into Seattle for the ultimate booty call and leave Addison’s shower covered by just that little towel, but no one complained about it either, did they? Nor did they when McDreamy wore nothing but a towel and a smile in his trailer later earlier in the season. The towel trend also hit Supernatural and Jericho, allowing us to see what Jared Padalecki and Skeet Ulrich have been hiding. And I, for one, can’t wait to see who’s next.Worst TV Trend of 2006:
Jeffrey Dean Morgan dying. He’s a crazy talented actor. Can’t he play someone who DOESN’T wind up kicking the bucket? We lost him on Supernatural and Grey’s Anatomy, and now we are ready for him to be among the living in 2007.Best bitches:
Marc and Amanda (Ugly Betty). I thought these two were the weakest part of the Ugly Betty pilot, and now I find myself tuning in every week just to see their shenanigans (sorry, but I just love that word). More Marc and Amanda…please!Angela Kinsey (The Office). A bible beating, no-nonsense accountant by day, and I suspect a kinky dominatrix my night. Angela Kinsey’s judgmental glare can burn right through your soul, and don’t even get her started on wearing
greenorange.Best Newbies:
Autumn Reeser (Taylor Townsend, The OC). Ok, technically Taylor isn’t new to The OC, but let’s face it, we’ve NEVER seen the likes of this Taylor Townsend before. She’s brought a new energy to the show, and is a big part of why The OC is worth watching again. (Watch)Ed Helms (Andy Bernard, The Office). He may be nothing but treble, but Andy Bernard has “merged” seamlessly with his cohorts at Dunder Mifflin-Scranton (well almost) and we’ve been laughing harder ever since. A new nemesis for Dwight, and perhaps some competition for Jim - watch out for Andy in 2007. Unatay! Areway ouyay iddingkay emay? (Watch)
Best Nickname:
“Swarley”. There was almost an entire episode dedicated to Barney’s (How I Met Your Mother) loathed nickname. Fans haven’t seemed to let the name go, and a website was even created on its behalf (www.swarley.com). Let’s hope we haven’t seen the end of Swarley.Best Show of Skin:
There are a lot of boys in the running for this one. The aforementioned “towel” boys of Apollo, McDreamy & McSteamy were definitely in contention. As were the shirtless Wentworth Miller and Josh Holloway. But in 2006 no one worked it like Sara Ramirez (Callie Torres, Grey’s Anatomy) did dancing around in her undies. She owned her curves and showed the boys a thing or two about the bootylicious ladies. (Watch)“The Office” Chat NOW
