You are absolutely right - everything is so overdone now. What they did so well with "real" yet quirky characters early on is just chaos now. They've also reached the point where it's obvious they're digging for new content - they're attendings now, getting married, everyone is having first or second children, it's just ridiculous.

The whole idea of the show was this quirky young doctor trying to figure the job out - it's really lost it's way lately.

yeah it's a real shame. I'm not a doctor but some of my best friends are doctors and they've always said Scrubs is the most realistic doctor/hospital show on television (I don't know if they'd say the same anymore though). Rumor is it's coming to ABC next year for its final season. I wish they'd just let it end though.

30 Rock is really good though. And I definitely need to start watching The Office. How does it compare to the British one for those that have seen both?
