Scrubs: My Absence and My Comedy Show

Posted by SH That whole idea about Scrubs carrying on after Zach Braff’s departure at the end of this season just got a little more real. In tonight’s twofer, J.D. was nowhere to be seen during the first episode, and the second put a big focus on the new crop of interns. It was all pretty seamless, as a onetime thing, but it’ll take awhile before I warm up to it fully. “My Absence” has Elliott pining away for J.D. while he takes a few days off. Where he goes is never explained, but he must not be too busy, […]

Psych – Truer Lies

Posted by Dizzy Miss Lizzy When a compulsive liar is taken into custody for murder, only Shawn believes his innocence. Lyin’ Ryan, played by Jonathan Silverman, is actually telling the truth this time. Perhaps Shawn is drawn to a kindred spirit of sorts, or maybe he just wants to show up the Santa Barbara Police Department. Either way, he drains the Psych savings to bail out Ryan and investigate the case. I’d explain more of the plot, but it’s very convoluted. For a show that takes liberties with plot on a regular basis, this episode is even less coherent than […]
