I was young, perhaps a little too young, the first time I saw Monty Python and the Holy Grail, so that scene where Arthur turns the Black Knight into a quadruple amputee was a little to much for my young guts. I didn't throw up, but I got queasy, and the image of that poor limbless bastard haunted me for a while.

Holy crap, that was the same guy who played "Not Moby" on How I Met Your Mother. Awesome.

The plot of "My Lucky Day" arises from a near-miraculous coincidence, and the moral that Dr. Cox delivers to J.D. in that last scene is that the young doctor's lucky break was just that—a near-miraculous coincidence. It hardly even occurred to me just how simplistic that plot device is until I sat down to type it out.

(It's okay, Marah, I've never seen Stand By Me either.)

I saw Bob Dylan live in 2008. Dylan's one of my idols, but the show was awful. The only way you could get me to another Bob Dylan concert now is if you have a time machine that goes back to the 60s or 70s.

Yes. It turns out that Abed actually is an alien in my timeline.

I have an oldish TV that doesn't have a digital converter. I couldn't get terrestrial television networks. I also moved a few months ago, and found myself in a living situation where, for the first time in my adult life, cable TV wasn't included in the rent. I went without any sort of live TV for four months.

Actually, that flew over my head. Anyone?

How does this series keep getting better? We just had a benchmark great episode in "Lo Scandalo" a few weeks ago, and already one that rivals it!

Not sure what you mean about the characters being distinct…

She said something in French last week. Her accent was convincing, but the effect just wasn't the same.

*whip sound effect*

When Ken Jenkins showed up during the end credits sequence, I bust my gut laughing. When Zach Braff showed up, I fell out of my chair.

Wow, The Coral. Losing that song is a travesty. One the best Scrubs pop music drops ever, right up there with Nil Lara back in season 1 (ending montage of "My Drug Buddy"). Jeeze.

Good thing they didn't use an actual Neil Diamond song, otherwise that whole scene might have had to be cut.

Sorry, I guess I should specify that I'm talking about Season 2 only. There were several music changes in the Season 1 DVD, and I think there were also some substitutions in season 3 and 4. At the very least, Season 4 has the single worst music subtraction they ever had to do - "My Life In Four Cameras" just isn't the

I don't know; I've never watched it on streaming until now. I'll check when I get home from work, if nobody else has by then.

Most sitcoms that have a singular main character must rely on the conceit that said main character is, at least in some way, special. The creator is heavily invested in the main character; the writers are invested in him. Hopefully, that translates into the audience being invested in him too. Scrubs doubled down on

The DVD (at least, the Season 2 DVD) has all the original music. Netflix doesn't.

And they'd never met before that stunt.
