Crisis on Infinite Scrubs

At this time last year, there was only one season of "Scrubs" out on DVD, there were no repeats to be found on TV and we didn't know when the fifth season would start.

Now there are there three DVD seasons out (with a fourth on the way in less than a month), repeats on no less than three stations and well, no clue on when the sixth season's gonna start (the more things change...).

If you really wanted to, you could watch nearly three hours of uninterrupted "Scrubs" here in the Valley area: 7 and 7:30 p.m. on Comedy Central, 8:30 and 9 p.m. on WGN and 9:30 p.m. on CW6. Seeing the repeats on WGN, with the single camera style and the weak signal that makes everything on WGN look crappy, is kind of weird; it sort of makes "Scrubs" look like some bad late '80s/early '90s comedy that is on WGN all the time. I dunno, "Airheads" maybe. Or "While You Were Sleeping."

The point is that's a whole lot of Dr. John Dorian, people, especially if you saw "The Last Kiss" over the weekend. "Scrubs" is the new "That '70s Show" repeats, which was the new "Seinfeld" repeats, which was the new "The Cosby Show" repeats. Or something.
