Spoiler: Battlestar Gallactica’s Final Cylon is … Hooch

Hooch is Crazy / Dustin Rowles

Trade News | December 3, 2008 | Comments (23)


The new season of “Scrubs” starts in a few weeks, now over on ABC. The one major difference we can already detect in the network switch is that, for the first time in years, “Scrubs” is actually getting some promotion. I almost jumped ship after last season - the increasingly daffy J.D. was starting to wear incredibly thin, and even Dr. Cox’s attempts at intentional self-caricature couldn’t quite save the sinking ship. In fact, I didn’t watch the last three episodes until two months ago, and even though they were aired out of order, the show did manage to recapture a scintilla of its original magic, at least enough to make me look forward to this season. Also, there’s almost nothing else on fucking TV this year). With “Mad Men” done for the year, “Dexter” and “Amazing Race” nearly done with their runs, and “Pushing Daisies” “Boston Legal,” and the unappreciated “Dirty Sexy Money” cancelled, there’s nothing left except Thursdays and “HIMYM” come January. “Chuck,” so far, isn’t even on the winter schedule.

Anyway, per ABC’s promotional efforts, here’s an actual commercial, a month in advance, promoting the new season of “Scrubs,” which will kick off with the stunt-casting of Courtney Cox (I’m not a fan of stunt casting, but both “Scrubs” and “HIMYM” do it phenomenally). The promo itself is a very small variation on a joke they’ve already done 400 times. But you know what? It’s still funny:



And while we’re running promos, here’s the promo for the last half season of “BSG.” I know you folks love it. I dug the first season, suffered through a slow second season, and gave up mid way through the third. That damn show is great for four great episodes per year, but the filler it throws at you in between just isn’t worth it. Besides, I hear the last Cylon was actually Ashton Kutcher, which will air in a very special crossover episode of “Punk’d.”

Please get good again Scrubs! I used to love you so

What? Dexter is ending? Damn it all, I only started watching it last week (went through the entire first season--awesome!).

Ah well. I also just started watching HIMYM, and still have lots of catching up to do on it, so that'll keep me occupied for a bit.

Don't try to grow a beard, Zach Braff. That is not a good look for you. Weird stubbly growth over a lack of chin does not work for you. Or, I might be so bold as to add, anyone.

I'm surprised there was no write up on The Shield's series finale. It was pretty damn great and a stunning ending to one of the best shows on TV. On that note, Sons of Anarchy is really starting to shine. Season 2 looks to be all kinds of fucked up.

I'm actually down to one drama for the next month: House. Now that Fringe is on hiatus until January, Pushing Daisies is done (I'm not gonna finish until it hits Blu Ray) Shield is done, Sons of Anarchy is done, I'm pretty much finished with TV until 24, BSG, and LOST come back in January. Unless SAG is completely stupid and strikes. Then I doubt I'll ever see anything other than the already shot BSG again.

damn d, i thought that you were referring to the dog from "turner and hooch"; for the first time, i was actually interested in this show.

I'm so close to caught-up with Dexter, I watched two episodes on demand last night.

*spoiler!*

Poor horny cougar defense lawyer. *sniff*

Is that cleavage I see? Who gave Courtney a sandwich?

Posted by: bucdaddy at December 3, 2008 10:10 AM

So, they shot the entire second half of the season 4 of BSG with naught but ambient light? Bold move.

Oh. Wait....

(I hate that. But I still can't fuckin' wait.)

Hahaha, I was just thinking the same thing bucdaddy. Lady got hot.

Posted by: becks at December 3, 2008 10:15 AM

Holy shit! That was - funny! Is my beloved Scrubs FUNNY again? I......I just may cry.

Posted by: Tammy at December 3, 2008 10:15 AM

celery, Hooch was/is another surgeon at Sacred Heart, but there was a whole bit about he and the other surgeon, Turner, always worked together... But this inevitably led to Hooch becoming JD's friend in a misguided attempt to replace chocolate bear.

It was revealed that Hooch is crazy. Oh hilarity.

Also, Rhyme, yeeechk. No chin guys are not my cup of tea, but on him it sort of looks like tree moss... or mold on a shower wall. The mold being a more apt comparison I think, because I don't wanna be rubbin' up against it.

Who the hell put bouillion cubes in my shower?

Dexter is only ending for the season. We think. Jimmy Smits rocks. He just makes everything better. If I could, I would sprinkle Jimmy Smits on my toast in the morning.

Ahem. That said, anyone notice that with a mustache and large forehead, Jimmy kinda looks like Sipowicz from the side?

While there were quite a few filler episodes last season, BSG still rocks my boat. Its worst episodes are still better than the best of many other shows.

Dexter surprised me the first quarter or so of the season by being nearly intolerably boring. I was ready to call Smits the downfall of the show. But then Dex got himself into that sticky situation, and now the dance between he and Prado has become delicious.

Wheeee, SCRUBS!

It's been too long. I miss it so.

Maaan...you're so right. There's nothing to watch. The only shows I regularly tune into these days are The Office (which is getting kind of annoying) and 30 Rock, which never disappoints.

But other than that? TV nights are such a fucking dead zone.

Ahem....

AHEM....

ACCCHHEEEEMM.....

Sir, I believe you forgot the tradition around here. Anytime there is mention of Scrubs or anything remotely related, this clip MUST (MUST!) be included:

His face . . . mommy, why is there hair there?

*cries*

Posted by: Lauren at December 3, 2008 2:34 PM

I can't believe that Chuck isn't on the winter schedule. If that show is gone, I'm left with 30 Rock and that's pretty much it.

R.I.P. good television programming. *tear* Pushing Daisies... *sob*

I just fell in love with a show. I'm positively giddy, think about it all the time, won't shut up about how wonderful everything about it is...you know, obnoxious love. I realize that it's now in its 4th season or something but I just started watching the first season of Bones on hulu and have lost my heart. One caveat is that I'm a girl with a PhD in a hard science and may be a little biased toward the lead character, Dr. Temperance Brennan. I do think, though, that everyone does a solid job with their respective characters.

Posted by: eppendork at December 3, 2008 4:54 PM

I'm watching season 4 of Boston Legal now

I didn't know its 5th season is the last one!
I know it was jumping the shark (and Denny is more annoying than funny) but I'm shocked anyway.

Oh!
and youtube is so lame these days that you can't even see the video anymore (due to copyrights for sure)
