Scrubs Interns & Flight of the Conchords

Hello faithful Blog Readers (do we have any faithful readers? do we have any readers at all? Is anyone even reading this?),

Remember when we said that this year our New Year's Resolution was to start watching new shows and blogging about them? Well, that hasn't happened yet. But it will ! It's still only February, so we got 10 months left to start watching a new show! I think we can do that.

As you've probably noticed, we've been incredibly busy lately, hence, we haven't written in a few weeks. But today, I found a short pocket of time (rather found an excuse to procrastinate doing work), so you are treated to a new blog entry!

If you've been watching the new season of Scrubs on ABC (which you should be watching, cause it's really good), then you have noticed that there are a new cast of interns who have joined The Sacred Heart who are working with our usual favorite group of doctors. Coincidentally, 2 of these new interns have also been featured on Flight of the Conchords! So we thought it would be fun to show a little side by side comparison of these up-and-coming character actors, as they're working their way through our favorite TV shows. Enjoy!

TV Clip of the Day: Andy Bernard

While last night I blogged about Ted, the a cappella singing employee of Sacred Heart on Scrubs, today is all about Andy, the a cappella singing employee of Dunder Mifflin on The Office. I don't know what it is, but there is something about watching people sing a cappella that is just great. Ed Helms, who plays Andy on the show, was actually in his college's a cappella group called The Obertones. Little did he know that years later when starring on The Office, his character would frequently break into song. Below, enjoy Andy trying to woo Angela with his lovely rendition of "Take a Chance on Me", and then below that Ed Helms sings the song live at The Office Convention!

TV Clip of the Day: Ted's Band from Scrubs!

We've been a little behind in our Scrubs watching lately, so tonight we watched the most recent 4 episodes of the show (the 2 from last week and the 2 from last night). We were very pleased to see that the latest episode, entitled, "My Lawyer's in Love" featured Ted's band (oftern referred to as "The Worthless Peons"). For those of you who don't know, Ted is one of the supporting characters on Scrubs, and he is the hospital's incompetent lawyer. In the first season it was revealed that Ted and 3 of the other guys from the hospital have an a cappella band, and ever since they have popped up in random episodes to sing so some classic songs in their unique style. In fact, the four actors are a real a cappella band called The Blanks, and they even have their own CD! The CD is entitled “Riding the Wave” and features many of the songs that they have sung on Scrubs as well as some hidden microphone interviews with members of the Scrubs cast. I own the album, and it’s really great!

Below, enjoy a collection of all of the appearances of Ted’s band on Scrubs, from their very first appearance back in Season 1, to their most recent episode that aired this week. Enjoy!
