  • A below average season premiere that felt too jam- packed and very rushed.

    One of Scrub's poorer season openers, but then it was always going to be hard to pick after that show changing cliff hanger that season 5 ended on.

    Season 6 started in a strange way, there was no opening narration from JD about the rest of the group just a group of visuals showing what they had been up to. This meant that the rest of the episode felt very direction-less and although some of the storylines were good, it felt as if they had just jumped into the storylines feet first and for a season opener this was not the best way of doing the episode.

    Still the storylines that the season opener produced were good, if a little underdeveloped- it felt like the writers were trying to give every character a storyline meaning that some of the stories felt a little hollow. For example the Elliot storyline; whole it is very natural for her to be feeling left out, her treating of the interns felt like a add-on to fill up some time. Hopefully they will develop this storyline in later episodes.

    The Dr Cox and Janitor storylines relating to their patients were very good storylines but they were let down by the fact that they had very little screen time due to other storylines.

    The fantasy/surreal scenes were fun but again made the episode feel a little disjointed. I did enjoy the appearence by the Blue Man group in Vegas and the use of NSync "Bye Bye Bye".

    Finally the main storyline of JD and Kim and their unplanned pregnancy. The manner in which JD handled it was completey true to form and his reflection of his own situation with his cancer patient was very well done.
    However the bit I most hated in this episode was the way in which JD described how Kim got pregnant. This was a hugely graphic description of sex and whilst amusing and a good campaign for safe sex, I think it went too far. This is a fairly family friendly show and the description of sex and the use of the word "penetration" was too much. I'm no prude but in a show like Scrubs the description wasn't really appropriate.

    Overall then a below average episode that had the potential to be good, but was let down by the writers trying to cram in as much as possible.moreless

    This was the start of the downward slope of Scrubs for me. Now I love Scrubs but after an amazing season 5 I really was very disappointed in this episode and season. The writing just felt off and the characters weren't as appealing. I also think that the fantasy sequences went too far.
    Usually the season opener of the show is fun and an extended adventure but this just felt too rushed and trying too hard to be funny. I thought that the Blue Man Group was a fun addition but they just didn't click with the rest of the show. And Turk and others dancing to the ring tone was not particularly funny either... Oh well.moreless

    Definitely a great hilarious season opener, and it owned up to it's cliffhanger. Kim wants to talk about the sudden pregnancy, and we find out that JD and Kim never really had sex, they got pregnant a very interesting way. JD puts off talking to Kim throughout the entire episode. Seeing yourself within the patients was kind of ridiculous and it went a bit out there, but it was still entertaining. Elliot treating all the new interns like babies was absolutely hysterical. Cox trying to deal with his anger issues was also entertaining, I always love to watch plots with Cox & Jordan. It all wrapped up well in the end, as JD finally decides to talk to Kim about their situation. The whole "Bye Bye Bye" bit was hilarious. I couldn't stop laughing. Great opener.moreless

    I'm just so glad Scrubs is back that I didnt care that something was missing from this episode although I loved the intro with the NSYNC ringtone part and JD not actually having sex with Kim!!

    • J.D.'s narration: Dr. Cox, on the other hand, got halfway there. He may always be angry at work, but he had learned to control himself when it counts. Dr. Cox: Jacky, would you like some hot dogs? Jack: I don't want hot dogs! Dr. Cox: That's okay, 'cause we've got your favorite yogurt. Edit
    • J.D.: Are you gonna let me down anytime soon? Janitor: Not until you spend a little time acting like a flag. J.D.'s narration: As I acted like a flag, I sensed that the Janitor learned nothing from this experience. Edit
    • Dr. Cox: Look, you pretty obviously have short-circuited. Because the odds of you ever actually having a baby are roughly on a par with me finding the Loch Ness monster in my bathtub. Edit

  • Allusions

    ADD ALLUSIONS
    • When the Janitor's mirror image is talking about his life he said that he punched a whale and it went down like Liston. Sonny Liston was a boxer that fought Muhammad Ali (twice actually). During the May 25 th, 1965 bout Muhammad Ali hit Liston and Liston went to the ground though the rest of his career he wan know for being solid in not getting knocked down. Edit
    • Dr. Cox: Gather round, doomed new interns who just paged me! What does this (flicks his workout shirt) outfit tell you? Dr. Kelso: You are entering a Joe Piscopo look-alike contest? Joe Piscopo is an actor who got his start on Saturday Night Live. He started Jersey Joe's Gyms, so Dr. Kelso's comparison between the two is accurate in more ways than one. Edit
    • Pop Rocks: This was a popular candy in the late 70's and early 80's. When you put the carbonated candy in your mouth the candy seems to sizzle and pop as the carbonation escaped. It also made tingling feeling in your mouth. Ted and Keith put together Pop Rocks and Cola to test the popular urban legend that mixing the two will create an explosion. Edit
