Doug Scrubs

I was getting Annie ready for bed when the idea for this blog hit me and I wrote down the idea ("Doug Scrubs") on a piece of paper and told Kim I have a new blog idea. She saw the paper and couldn't figure out what it was.

What it is, is this: I had been watching a few episodes of 3rd Rock From The Sun and was thinking about how they end the episodes with a "what did we learn" kind of moment on their roof and how this was kind of like the greatest show ever.

I speak of course, of Doug. Well, it might not be the greatest show ever but it was pretty cool. It was entertaining and funny in a very tangent-ey way but taught morals in a way that didn't make you gag, like, say, McGee & Me. It was a great show for kids.

And if I may break off for just a moment: Nickelodeon NEEDS to release Doug on DVD in season form. I'd buy them in a heartbeat for my daughter (and for my wife and myself's nostalgia attacks).

Then ABC got a hold of the show and ruined it.

So I was thinking how TRFTS is like Doug but then it hit me that while similar, there was another show that was even more like Doug.

I speak, of course, of Scrubs. Morals, tangents, funny stuff, it's all there.

And oddly enough ABC is getting a hold of this one too........

I hope it goes better than Doug did!
