After the Super Bowl, an episode of The Office aired, where they had CPR training for a scene. It was really incredible, and featured proper CPR instruction at times. The CPR class include using the BeeGee’s Stayin’ Alive to use the beat to match the proper rhythm of 100 beats per minute.
The episode was titled “Stress Relief” and you can watch the CPR portion here.

ER's Julianna Margulies and George Clooney return this spring
George Clooney was on ER back when I watched the show, and really had no idea who he was. I was in high school at the time, and wasn’t aware of the popularity of really anyone in any cast over another. The only other things that I’ve seen Clooney in are the Ocean’s Trilogy, Three Kings, O Brother, Where Art Thou? and Spy Kids.
Entertainment Tonight is reporting that the actor is returning to the role that arguably made him a star in an episode of ER that will be airing this spring.
Clooney left the show in 1999 to go into the film industry, but returned for an episode in 2000 to provide some closure to his character’s story. I expect that this return to the show is inspired by a return to visit the family that he left behind on the set. It’s a good way to pay his respects to the show that brought him from the B-list to the A-list. He was on the show from 1994-2000 and appeared in 108 episodes in the role of Dr. Doug Ross.
This week, two more episodes aired, and it looks like that’s going to be the trend, as the schedule calls for two episodes a week over the next two weeks as well. ABC is being awesome to us Scrubs fans. I’m not sure what the final count of episodes is going to be for this season, but I hope that the ratings are great enough that the series is picked up for a ninth season. We should know by May.
This weeks episodes continued the storyline featuring Courteney Cox as the Chief of Medicine at Sacred Heart Hospital.
Seeing as it’s been on for fifteen seasons, and it’s currently the number two most popular medical tv show in our poll, I figured this was a relevant story to report on.
It seems that, in the midst of talks for a new series called “Police,” there have also been talks to film three more episodes for the medical drama ER‘s final season. ER was scheduled to end its’ fifteen-year run on March 12th with a two hour finale.
Two episodes aired last night, and it looks like this will be the trend for the next couple of weeks, at the very least. It was a definite return to form for the show, as the super quirky scenarios of the last couple of years were indeed jettisoned to bring back some of what made the show great to begin with.
Kicking things off with the first return episode, here’s the summary from ABC:
One of my favorite TV shows, is Scrubs. I got into the show at the start of the fourth season, and immediately worked on getting caught up with this show that I discovered at what was almost the middle of it’s entire run. At least that’s what NBC would have had. But ABC owned the show.
It was a strange dynamic. ABC produced the show, NBC aired it, all because NBC took a shot on it seven years ago and it became a hit.
Here’s the fourth segment in our series of the Best of Scrubs. When a mother and her child are both at risk at the time of childbirth, a father makes the tough decision to try and save both lives. Another patient has been in and out of the hospital for months, while waiting for a heart transplant. What happens when everything seems to go right? Do the results really even each other out?
This is a clip that I spent some time editing together using three portions from the episode to make the story make sense. The cutting should be pretty fluid, though. I hope that you enjoy this clip.
“Waiting For My Real Life To Begin” by Colin Hay, performed by Jill Tracy with the Scrubs cast.

Here’s the third segment in our series of the Best of Scrubs. This time, it deals with test results that could effect the life of someone you really care about.
Giving someone news that could forever change their lives can be a scary thing. On the one hand, it could be for the positive, and that would be the ideal situation. But on the other hand, it could be earth shattering news that devastates them. This episode deals with Dr. Dorian finding out some news, and hoping that a mistake was made.
Jordan’s brother Ben (Brendan Fraser) comes into the hospital after piercing his hand with a nail-gun; however Dr. Cox and J.D. later become worried when his hand will not stop bleeding. J.D. therefore decides to wait before informing Ben of his positive blood test result, and asks the lab to check the result. They do so over a montage accompanied by “Hold on Hope” by Guided by Voices
For this second in our series of the Best of Scrubs, I’ve picked a moment that deals with the stress of working in an environment where you win some and lose some, but if you don’t learn to manage it, it can get the best of you.
Stress is something that can come with any job, and recognizing that is important. It is something that, if you don’t deal with it in a healthy way, it is possible that it can drag you down.
During rounds, J.D. is doing exceptionally well. However, there is one other intern who is equally as good at being a doctor as him – Nick Murdoch. Nick has a patient, Peter, who keeps getting worse. Nurse Roberts keeps him updated on Peter’s status. Meanwhile, Turk gets frightened that he could make a mistake in surgery and kill someone. After Elliot asks Carla if Turk was alright, Carla gets upset that Turk doesn’t talk to her about his problems. Dr. Cox eventually gives both Turk and Carla advice on how the stress of how the hospital can make people not want to talk about their problems.
