No. Sorry, no. We don’t do that. We’re not a TV supplement. (We wish!) (No, not really.) (We mean, Christ, can you imagine?) (Shut up.)
So, basically Only Fools and Horses, inherently British, pukka, CUSHTY Only Fools & Horses has just been commissioned for a US Pilot! Well, we all saw THAT coming, didn’t we? Nine years ago.
Calling all you single ladies! Have you starred in a successful sitcom in the last 20 years that’s completely overshadowed the rest of your career?
Then good news!
You can follow in the footsteps of Sarah Chalke and resign yourself to the fact that you’ll never amount to anything more than a 1 dimensional stereotype that never managed to get top billing and decide to see out the rest of your days rubbing your thighs and being all sassy on, what is fast becoming television’s equivalent of a hospice, Cougar Town.
When E4 had eventually grown tired of showing endless repeats of Friends and Scrubs, the channel eventually spat out its own unique programming, aimed at the sort of person that hecklerspray writers aren’t; the young, the cool, the hip and the trendy. Arseholes, basically.
On one end of the spectrum, there was Skins, a programme which captured everyone’s dream college lifestyle, in a show which frequently used drugs, booze and sex, but portrayed them in the most extreme way to great effect.
Skins was escapism for most whilst The Inbetweeners offered a firmer dose of reality, especially for hormonal teenage boys. These are the sort of people who couldn’t quite make that move from fingering a girl to using an empty packet of Space Raiders as a makeshift condom when that first awkward sexual experience arrived.
You’ve seen Scrubs right? Of course you have. You can’t move for episodes of Scrubs. It’s bloody omnipotent. Like repeats of Friends, it feels like you could hurl a handful of your own fecal matter up into the air and, chances are, it would land or backsplat onto a channel showing yet another dose of the kooky kookfest that is stinkin’, insufferable Scrubs.
Good news for mewing, haters like us is that it looks like the show is more dead than Fearne Cotton’s eyes. How do we know? Well, it’s come from a very reliable source, namely, Zach Braff. Yes, the spunky goof-chop that plays JD in the comical surgical wound programme has announced that the show is over.
Braff (which sounds more like a nickname for puking rather than a proper surname) broke the news on his Facebook page. Yes! We know! It’s astonishing isn’t it? Zach Braff can find time to stop staring at his own genitals in the mirror to find time to actually learn how to read and write! Read More >>>

If you like zany sitcoms where someone usually dies in tragic circumstances at the end of each episode, Scrubs is the show for you.
And if you like Scrubs, we have some good news and bad news for you. The good news is that Scrubs has found a new life on ABC, which is committed to broadcasting the show long-term. The bad news is that you’re an idiot for liking Scrubs.
Oh, and the other bad news is that Zach Braff, the star of Scrubs, is leaving the show at the end of this upcoming season. And the other other bad news is that Zach Braff is leaving Scrubs so that he can go away and make more of his annoying whiny films about how sensitive and emotional he is. More bad news than good on reflection, really.
