    If I pretend that it's a different show with a couple of crossover characters, I don't mind it. But I can't deny that it's barely a shadow of the original show. The new main character is just a mix of JD and Elliot, minus what made them memorable.

    Aye, it's watchable, and don't forget that Scrubs in it's closing days before Med School was a shadow of itself anyways, ye still watched it because you were guaranteed a laugh regardless

    I've gotta disagree there. I thought Scrubs was top-notch from S1E1 to the "finale". The only low point I can really pick out is the fairy tale episode.

    One thing I loved about Med School, incidentally: The Janitor's send-off. Janitor has always been my favorite side character (besides Rowdy, who deserves a spinoff), and the idea that he only worked at Sacred Heart to annoy JD was a fantastic retcon.

    Nah, it def waned in the later years I think, it didn't shake up its formula and became far too predictable. Plus everyone knows Judy Reyes was phoning it in the last two seasons :P

    Loved Janitors send-off though, brilliant and true to character, with him and Ted gone (by gum I loved Ted) Kelso's probably my favourite bit-player. In Med School one good thing has been the new writers, characters like Cox have gotten a whole new lease of life. The rich kid's pretty funny to, even if you are supposed to hate him "YOU SUCK ZIMMERMAN!"

    Haha, true. It's a shame, too. Donald and Judy were great comedic foils for each other. Not as good as Zach and Donald, but there's definitely something missing seeing Turk without Carla.

    Ted would have to be Rowdy's sidekick in my aforementioned spinoff. No other actor could make constant flop sweat look so natural. :p

    Hate Cole. He's like The Todd, except not lovable. They gave him a more human side in the last two episodes, though, so I may change my tune. I just wish he'd shave his 'brows. They bug me, and I don't know why.

    My favorite show of all time has to be Whose line Is it Anyway. BEST SHOW EVAH! Whenever Colin and Brad, 2 actors from the show, come to where I live to act out a new episode(which really doesn't air on tv, but I still count it:D) I always get a ticket, and hope to be called upon stage, and forma segment of it with them,(I was EXTREAMLY close to being in a sound effects game once:D)

    Star Trek: DS9

    You know, I recently got this show on DVD and I must say it's much better than I remembered. Remember all the controversy surrounding the whole Babylon 5/DS9 thing?
    Fringe

    Been catching up on this lately. I love it! It reminds me of The X-Files.

    Nope, i only 'discovered' ST after STXI came out in the cinemas (although it was the last film i saw). DS9 was my first series, and whilst it is slower paced, i enjoy the character progression, and overarching storylines. I still haven't seen the first 12 episodes or so. Or tha last 15 (currently airing).

    Good lord, I haven't laughed so hard in a long time. I just about died watching the sound effects clip. I miss this show.

    I will list stuff, too. Specifically stuff no one else has mentioned yet. *ahem*

    The Red Green Show, even though I have never gone fly-fishing in my life.
    Corner Gas, even though I have never lived in farm country or Canada.
    The Angry Beavers, even though I ... have never seen a beaver ... in real life?
    Soap, even though I'm bored to death by actual soap operas.

    And Taiga dramas, just to prove I watch stuff besides comedy.

    Lickety split! The Angry Beavers, how could I forget them... I love their B-movie parodies, with Oxnard Montalvo. One of my favourite cartoons ever, together with Rocko's Modern Life. And Cow & Chicken. And 2 Stupid Dogs. And others that I can't think of at the moment.

    Angry Beavers has won my childhood. Rocko was also awesome.

    What do I remember... I always liked Ghostbusters cartoons, The Real Ghostbusters and Ghostbusters Extreme (characters were great in that one). There was one other Ghostbusters cartoon... with a gorilla and Jack Black or something... That sucked.

    Anyway so I kind of liked Angel, you know the Buffy the Vampire Slayer spinoff (Buffy sucked). Better than seeing some sparkly vampires.

    Gotta love Scrubs (till Season 6). Heroes was epic (till Season 2). I kind of liked Smallville (till Season 2?). Man... they piss on awesome ideas when they try to lengthen the story like a gum.

    EDIT: Seinfeld wins the universe.

    Ah, wonderful! I didn't see that while scrolling speedily through the entire thread. But I'm very happy to see that at least someone has an appreciation for the the Big Bang Theory as it's my new favourite show :).

    there are a lot of popular shows listed here, which i also like such as spongebob. But there is one tv series no-one has mentioned which i think is AMAZING. It's called the "A-team". It is a 1980's t.v. and is soo good, the entire 5 seasons are available on DVD. I never saw the A-team until quite recently. I don't usually watch old films, but that is just one awesome t.v. series. I would go as far as to say, better than spongebob. Here's my list, with rating (5 star=awesome, any less=not as good):-

    Fresh Prince of Bel-air (****)
    Spongebob (****)
    A-Team (*****)
    Top Gear (****)
    Looney Tunes (****)
    Baby Looney Tunes (****)
    The New Woody Woodpecker Show (**)
    My Wife and Kids (***)
    Animaniacs

    The A-Team is awesome (Mr. T!). I heard they are making a movie based on it.

    EDIT: I was right. It's coming out this summer. Looks interesting.
