I can't do this all on my own

I've begun to notice that Scrubs is still, very quietly, one of the funniest and off-the-wall shows on television well into its fifth year. With the mighty Arrested Development on indefinite hiatus and no other comedy really being worth a damn anymore (Malcolm in the Middle has slipped almost beyond repair, The Simpsons has passed that fine line, and the two Seth MacFarlane-produced shows are so horrendous that I don't know where to begin. That's right, I called both Family Guy and its Down's Syndrome-laden brother American Dad horrendous. They're not funny. At all. And why is that, class? Right, because there's none of the characterization that has made animated programs like The Simpsons and South Park so successful. If the characters hadn't been build up for seven seasons, would anyone have given a damn when Token kicked Cartman's ass in "Christian Rock Hard?" I didn't think so.), the only non-variety comedy I can watch anymore is Scrubs. I mean, the great comedies of Fraiser and Seinfeld have long since gone away, and their successors are dramedies like Six Feet Under (brilliant, sometimes over-dramatic, but now-dead, pardon the pun), Gilmore Girls (once one of the best shows on television, it's now like watching Dawson's Creek mixed with Daria...and Dawson's Creek is winning), and Sex in the City (now-dead, and even still, it sagged a lot for awhile). And even though King of the Hill and South Park have provided some relief, as well as the occasional Beavis and Butt-head airing on MTV2, it's a sad state of affairs in the wasteland of comedic television right now.

But Scrubs has been a shining light. In its first season, it was wacky; now, it's just downright ridiculous. And I'm eating it up. The acting is supurb, the jokes are out of this world...

Sorry, I need to go. My parents have just been involved in a car accident, and I need to call my brother to find out what the fuck is going on.
