The "Jam" Story

Ok so first off, I haven't updated in like a month which I usually try to avoid. I blame the holidays/my computer getting a virus and the related terrible events that happened because of said virus. But, now that the holidays are over and I'm back at school, I've been looking forward to new tv episodes. Since the latest episode of The Office aired on the 10th of December, I figured they might have a special new years episode or just start airing new episodes a week or so after. Wrong! They aren't airing new episodes until the 21st! I find this to be incredibly bogus. Just because your show is popular and people will wait over a month for new episodes, doesn't mean you should make them wait! I mean just last week ABC showed 3 new episodes of the new Scrubs (which is surprisingly awesome, especially if you liked the old Scrubs) and Better Off Ted (also awesome, seriously Veronica is crazy...in a good way? haha) within 4 days of each other. Anyway, the next episode of The Office is called The Banker, which doesn't particularly seem exciting since everyone that watched the episode on the 10th knows that Scranton branch is safe from being fired.

Today though, The Office twitter announced that "Jim & Pam will experience the birth of their baby in a special two part episode of The Office on March 4 and 11". That's pretty cool, but seeing as how they're hyping it over a month before it's gonna happen, it had better be a good episode. I'm not really sure why it's happening on 2 different days though considering the fact that they were able to get a nice 1-hour slot for the wedding episode. Also, The Office website on NBC has decided to devote an entire mini site to Jim and Pam's story. There's dorky little pictures from each of the parts of their relationship going from "Just Friends" to "The Baby". Most of the site is coming soon still though. It's pretty cheesy if you ask me. But, if it's between girls going googoo over Jim and Pam or Twilight, then I'm all for this dorky little website. Also the pictures from "Just Friends" seem so strange sometimes that they just crack me up (seriously how weird is the picture at the top of this post?).

Zach Braff Isn't Dead and Neither is Scrubs

On Monday there was a pretty big internet rumor (originally found here, but now it's gone due to the massive bad publicity) going around that Zach Braff was found dead in his home. Zach Braff decided to clear it up by posting this on his facebook. Turns out the whole thing was supposedly a joke that someone had tried to play on their friends 2 years ago and just hadn't removed from his website. Anyways, somehow the link resurfaced and made crazy news that even made it's way to Zach Braff's mom; which caused Zach to give the creator of this "joke" the douchebag of the day award.

Anyway, putting this prank gone horribly wrong aside, Zach mentioned something very interesting on his video on facebook. He talked about shooting the new Scrubs intro and and this made me confused. I mean everyone knows that Scrubs had it's series finale this year and that it wasn't supposed to be making anymore episodes right? Wrong, turns out Scrubs is headed for it's "9th" season. That is, if you consider the new Scrubs the same show as the old one. The new show is supposed to take a deeper look into the medical campus joined to the hospital (which I'm pretty sure the original show only revealed once during a morbidity and morality conference that Elliot had to present). It centers around 3 new interns that Dr. Cox and Turk are supposed to be teaching. I hope they keep the old new interns as residents now too, since they were pretty good characters imo. According to Wikipedia Eliza Coupe (aka "Joe") will be returning along with the 3 new interns Michael Mosley (aka Drew), Dave Franco (aka Cole), and Kerry Bishé (aka Lucy), who is supposed to be the new narrator of the show. Sadly J.D. and Elliot are only supposed to be in 6 episodes before leaving the show for good. Also the Janitor might not be in the new show either after the opening episode because of his role in The Middle. All in all Scrubs could still be a good show considering they're keeping Turk, Dr. Cox, and supposedly Joe. But, I feel a little like it could start to suck too, like when Eric left That 70's Show.
