Is this done by the same people who did Andy Richter Controls the Universe? Very similar feel and two actors in common. It only had about 15 episodes but I'm telling you every single one is pure gold. Hope BOT keeps it up.

BTW the lab grown beef is real. Now in the show mind you but the tech exists.

That you thinkg How I Met Your Mother is better thatn Scubs call into question everything you say. That show blows mainly because it tries to have a heart in a show about a guy telling his kids about all women he banged before he got married. It's awful from concept to execution. Better Off Ted stands heads above it in both humor and warmth. But it's clearly not on a 30 Rock level where they'll throw three brilliant jokes at you at once.

@NotArthurPDragon: I think she meant that HIMYM is better than Scrubs is now, not as a show overall.

@nutmeag: Actually, I'm referring to the "heart" thing. It's awful every time the show tries and it tries every week with these cloying romantic attempts when it's about a douche telling his kids about all the women he's banged. It's never had a heart so how could it have more heart than Scrubs?

@NotArthurPDragon: Scrubs is terrible right now, unwatchable. And yes HIMYM is sappy heart but it's all there. It's sweet. Lilly and Marshall have my heart. And all the NPH stuff is really tongue and cheeck, come on now you know this. Scrubs right now is nothing to me I'm not comparing shows I consider over or else I would of included Cheers, MASH, Arrested Development and so forth.

i was a little sad that ted's daughter wasn't in this episode as her anacdotes in the primere formed a perfect juxtaposition with the office peons of veridian.

This show is pretty funny, but Scrubs is by far just as if not more awesome.

@Meredith Woerner: I mean, that is a manner of opinion. Personally, I still think Scrubs does a pretty good job of being the show I love. I don't see why we need a snide remark with the thoroughly overdone cough-cough, when talking about a good new comedy, which in all honesty will probably get canceled like most good shows do.

@dmanatunga:

Yes, new Scrubs is slowly wiping clean last season's bad taste.

And since this year will be the last, I'm fine with just that.

@dmanatunga: Ok next time I'll right that new Scrubs is terrible and breaks my heart everytime it is on because it is no longer funny and watching the shells of characters I love dance about on screen with completely abused plot lines makes me ill. I'm not sure what you want from me here? This is my opinion feel free to make your own anytime! I'll listen.
