Friends - Really laboring. They took one idea that should have lasted for 6-7 minutes and stretched it out for the whole show. The writing just isn't there.

The other day, I remembered the other funny line in the history of Friends: the one about Joey's tailor ("That's the way they do it."/"In PRISON!"). Other than that, I'm really hard pressed to understand why this show had the legs it did. It is not a compendium of cultural knowledge like Seinfeld, and it resorts too quickly to the "Scene: X kisses Y; audience goes WHOOOOOO!" school of dramatic twists.
Watching this show in its last season is like watching a relative with Alzheimer's fade away in a nursing home. One that you were never close to but your family said you were supposed to love.
BTW, Ross looks like absolute shit. His career is over when this gets put to bed.

Scrubs - Very funny. Although more needs to be done with Dr. Cox and the other old cremudgeon[sp?]. Their acts are getting old. Fast.

Huh. I thought this was a disappointment. I kept asking, "Why does that Elliot chick look like crap?" It was like she skipped makeup. Oh, it's the standard Makeover Plotline. Of course.
Agree on Cox/Kelso thing. Cox has annoyed me from Day 1. His dialog is good; his delivery got old by the end of the first episode.
I'll add my own: Angel. I think this should be mandatory FB watching, since the entire season is about being good inside an evil law firm, and the compromises we make in the interests of continued employment.
Making Gunn a lawyer was an interesting twist. I was wondering how they'd get around Cal. Rules Prof. Conduct, Rule 1-310. One down, four to go.
Looks like they'll make good use of Harmony.
