    "Great"

    Is it just me or is Kieth's annoying entities starting to rub off on Elliot? I found Elliot extremely annoying in this episode, she changed everyone's schedule just so she can spend the day with Kieth? It was a nice friendship episode for Elliot and JD which is why this episode is really great in my opinion, since we haven't had a real plot with these two since the beginning of the season.

    I'm so sick and tired of waiting around if Carla & Turk are going to have a baby or not. We already went through this with the sterility with Carla in "Her Story II" so I wasn't a huge fan of this plot. I loved the walkie talkies though, and I'm glad JD kept his half acre that he bought with Julie. If anything this episode was a great episode about friendship.moreless

  • I don't like Elliot's character in this... she annoys me slightly

    Elliot and Keith's relationship is revealed to the staff at the hospital and they are not happy about it.
    Dr. Cox is named "The Best Doctor in the City", and in keeping with his character he boasts about it! (I love Dr. Cox!)
    and Turk may be "firing blanks"!!

    I did like the episode as a whole, however, Elliot's character got to me a little. First off, she continued seeing Keith (back when he was just a booty call) despite J.D. asking her not to since he wasn't too comfortable with it (since he didn't like Keith), and she initally said she would drop Keith but instead acted like a 3 year old who had to have what was made taboo! (in My Buddy's Booty)
    And then in this episode she goes a step further and gets mad at J.D. when he didn't back her up! Talk about being unfair!
    Though I did find Elliot's revenge hilarious!
    But I do also find Elliot's character kind of annoying...moreless

    Fab Stuff, Dr.Cox's Ego Rises High Above The Clouds When He Is Named "The Best Doctor In The City", Bob Kelso Assigns Him With A Extremely Demanding And Annoying Patient In Order To Deflate His Over Sized Ego.
    J.D. Is Getting Sick Of Elliot & Keith, And So Frankly Are The Interns, They Think Keith Is Getting Preferential Treatment Because He Is Sleeping With Elliot, Keith Gets To Have The Best Cases, AND He Got His Shift Switched Around With Lisa Who Was Less Than Happy!
    I Thought This Episode Was Absolutely Great, It Was Very Interesting To See JUST How BIG Dr.Cox's Ego Would Get Before It Got Deflated By Bob Kelso!moreless

    8.9
    "Great"
    By scrubsduber, Apr 02, 2007 Report Abuse
    2 out of 3 storylines i found interesting in this episode; Turk and Carla and the whole fertil thing, and the JD/Keith/Elliot storyline. The other one is Dr. Cox being again hasseled by Kelso etc. I suppose the only funny thing about that storyline was when Dr. Cox throwing the slip of paper away with the list of demands on, given by a snobby patient. Classic Cox.

    JD for once had no problems, apart from Elliot revealing to JD that he doesn't like Keith and giving him hell for it. It was funny when he went to eat breakfast and she had taken the insides of every apple out, drained all the eggs etc. The Turk and Carla storyline was the best storyline, with Carla trying to sperm jack Turk because she thinks he's firing blanks and wants to get him tested. However, if she tells him, he'll react the same way when she told him his ruck sack looks like a women's bag.

    All positive points, but why havei given it an 8.9. Well, the 3rd storyline didn't really have much interest, and there were some uses of the "stoner" humour, for example; the walkie talkie picking up the sizzling sound of Keith's back burning and the fact that is was sizzling, just because of soe cream JD was putting on (not realistic).moreless

  • Cox + "Best Doctor in the City" article = massive ego boost

    "Superb"

    The watchie talkies are a brilliant idea by Scrubs and the Janitor makes them even more funny, though thanks to his not so subtle mistakes ("I'm that black doctor you're always hanging out with"), it leads to JD actually winning one.

    Dr Cox being the best doctor and Kelso being forced to admit this to him was a great moment in the episode as was JD sticking up for Elliot despite the fact that he disliked Keith.

    Turk's plot was very funny, especially involving the elevator scene on the watchie talkies and his nervousness about going one on one since he's only ever done that twice in his life revealed in a previous episode.

    Overall, this is a terrific episode, all of the plots being very entertaining.moreless

    • J.D. claims he had finally "won one" referring to his victory over the Janitor. However, he had beaten the Janitor when he and Turk refused to believe that the Janitor had a twin brother, though he decided to make the Janitor feel better by saying that he did believe him for a moment. Edit
    • Featured Music: "Living Life" by The Eels Edit
    • In the scene of Turk's crying in the toilet, he was wearing the walkie-talkie watch on his hands, but Carla was thinking of a flash-back long ago. How could that be possible if Turk and JD has just started using the walkie-talkie watch in this episode? Edit
