Celebrity sighting #15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20




Well this weekend I stumbled across the cast of Scrubs, a TV show I was addicted to until my addiction was rudely cut short by not having a TV. This is the last season of Scrubs and the cast were in NY for one day to give a panel Q & A. I went along and saw Zach Braff, Sarah Chalke, Don Faison, Judy Reyes, Neil Flynn and the creator Bill Lawrence and Christa, who plays Jordan, in their funny glory.

It was a good way to kill a couple of hours on a cold Saturday afternoon. Bill Lawrence was insightful, saying how he had wanted to create a show that was a cross between the nostalgia of The Wonder Years, the silliness of The Simpsons and the drama of Mash. Given the 7 years I think he was successful. He also mentioned that out of all the guest stars they had on the show Tara Reid was the worst. The audience loved this speck of goss.

And what's been funny is that Jus and I have discovered that NBC and ABC have full episodes of current series available to watch for free with minimal ads, online. So if you want to get a fix of the latest seasons of Heroes, Grey's Anatomy, Scrubs, My Name is Earl, The Office, Brothers & Sisters, Desperate Houswives, you know where to go. We've also discovered Joost and Hulu, another way to watch TV on your PC. Their lineup includes the Adult Swim cartoons, The Simpsons, Family Guy, and a whole bunch of The Onion and Comedy Central programs as well as lots of old stuff, like Who's The Boss.

So Jus and I can dip into TV whenever we feel like it, without actually owning a TV or paying for cable, or sitting through 20 mins of ads each hour. hallelulah. This is kind of a god send as Sunday nights with single digit temperatures and a wind that would freeze the smile off Hannah Montana are a one way ticket to Cosyville. Does this mean the experiment failed?

And thanks to all of you who placated my laundry room fears, advising that it's perfectly acceptable to remove someone else's washing from the machine if their cycle is done. Monday seems to be washing night in our building: let the games begin.
