"But Hugh Jackman is Wolverine!"

Friday night had to be one of the most fun experiences I've had in a long time. Me and Gracie got to attend a live taping of my favorite comedy on television right now, SCRUBS. Every Tuesday, this show entertains with one of the quirkiest and most unique comedic voices on television today. I would argue that without a show like this, shows like Arrested Development do not exist. Although not the first show of it's kind, it is an example of an under-watched, underappreciated, and underrated show with a passionate group of fans. This was more evident by the showing of Scrubheads last night, and by the generosity of the cast and crew.

Having only been to a taping of The Tonight Show, I have only that experience on which to compare studio tapings. Judging from the comments of the attendees, this was the best audience experience they've ever had. We were treated to candy, live musical performances, a script reading, and even question and answer sessions from the cast and the show's creator, Bill Lawrence. Along with being able to see an episode filmed right before our eyes, Mr. Lawrence went out of his way to keep us entertained and to let us know how much they appreciated our support. It was pretty amazing, and I really did feel all this gratitude was sincere.

My favorite part had to be the question and answer sessions with the cast. Zach Braff, Sarah Chalke, Donald Faison, John C. McGinley and the rest of the cast were generous enough to take time from the show to answer any questions we had. Any question. No matter how many times Mr. Braff's heard "What was it like to make out with Natalie Portman?" he answered it just the same. "It was awesome!"

Truthfully, Mr. Braff was also the one cast member willing to take the most chances during the taping as well. It could be his recent success with Garden State or it could be that he's the star of the show, but he constantly was making adjustments to better his own performance and those around him. You really could tell though, that this ensemble recognized our support, especially seeing as they took time, after what was most likely a very long day, to stay behind and sign autographs for the audience. How many times does that happen at a taping?

This experience really punctuates how much I love this show. I really wish more people would watch it and give it the exposure it deserves, but with a time slot opposite American Idol (by the by, Clay Aiken was the guest star of the show that night, gave an impromptu performance, and even told us to watch Scrubs instead of American Idol) and a temperamental American viewership, it could be difficult. I urge you though, to take a Tuesday and give it a chance. If you do so, make sure to let me know what you think!
