Scrubs

Okay, this has been a little while coming. Scrubs has always had a bit of a hard time trying to find a niche or corner to fit in with schedulings typically only in the spring for the past few years and then the moving to abc for its final season (I hope, I heard a rumor about maybe continuing it, but how can they do that after those final episodes?), but it was a fantastic show. I have heard that it was going downhill for the last couple years, but disagree. There have been a few points that surely could have been better, but every show has that. Heck, Simpsons was great during its 8th season. I think Scrubs was, too. The finale should stay just that, the finale. It wrapped everything up very nicely without being overly show (except for maybe a minute there, but who can't be just a little showy in the end) and brought it to an end I can definitely live with. I would say the finale was actually more satisfying the Battlestar's. I know they are two completely different shows but a level of satisfaction can be judged across all genres.

I don't think I need to give away any spoilers. If your a fan of the show then you'll watch the end. If you've never seen it, then I highly recommend it. It is one of the few gems in television life where you get something great for longer than three seasons, and it doesn't overstay its welcome.
Seasons 1-7 are only $155 on amazon with season 8 being released in August. If they plan on releasing them on blu-ray I'll definitely be picking those up and reliving the glory days all over again.
