Fall TV Predictions: Scrubs Season VII

Ever since Seinfeld went off the air back in 1998, NBC never really fully recovered in the department of primo comedy series or situation comedies; at least original ones. I mean, yes, I am a big fan of the Office, but anyone who has done their research knows that it is loosely based on the original British series, which once aired on BBC, and was greatly spruced up to appease American audiences.

And yes, I also love My Name is Earl, 30 Rock and I was a fan of Will and Grace. However, if you really dissect that one, it is plain to see that the show really just gets yucks EXCLUSIVELY from (hey, I'm) gay jokes. Not one of these shows, however, has really reached the strength and magnitude that NBC comedy once was at in the 90s.

However, there is one NBC I still can't get enough of and have become hopelessly addicted to since I got the first box set as a gift; Scrubs. However, I don't really call this show a comedy; it has a lot of hilarious bits, fantasy sequences, plot lines and, of course, a dead dog (Rowdy, no). On the other hand, it is written to be serious, documenting the very realistic lives, straight from the beginning of a group of young doctors going from medical interns to "attendings." The show debuted in 2001 and since has garnered a devoted following.

The seventh season, according to NBC.com, debuts on October 25 (thank God). A lot also happened towards the end of season 6, leaving fans not only hanging, but waiting in pure aoony. Here's a little recap (spoiler alert); Laverne dies, Eliot and Keith, at the end are just days away from getting married. Jordan and Dr. Cox are preparing for their second baby. Kim is just about ready to have her baby with J.D., of whom she is trying desperately to patch things up. And to top it off, the Season six finale ends with Eliot and J.D. laying together on a bed in the on-call room, Kim and Keith waiting for their lovers out of sight, leaning in to kiss passionately and possibly have sex for the umpteenth time.

Some obvious things are going to happen in season 7. First of all, Kim and Jordan are going to have their babies. Whether or not there are any complications are beyond me. I do predict that Keith and Eliot are going to get married. After all, to just abruptly inflict a major plot twist at the last second is way too drastic. However, I do predict that, with JD's increased maturity and now refusal to be stepped all over, he and Kim will not be getting back together. However, I am predicting a custody battle might ensue, especially since Kim did bald face lie to him about losing the baby; this could come up.

I see no predictions for the birth of the Cox-Sullivan's second baby, but I do predict that there will be some new, funnier incidents with Dr. Cox's son, well, taking after his father.

Whatever happens, we'll all see on October 25. All we can just hope is that there are no more major deaths, eh?
