As I recall, Bill Lawrence only did the ninth season because ABC gave him and Braff a poo poo-ton of money to do it (the eighth season drew far better ratings than they expected, and I think Braff got almost a full season's worth of salary for six episodes), and he begged them to let him change the name to Med School or Scrubs Med or something like that. But, yeah, the Med School season is pretty rough after how pitch-perfect almost all of Season 8 is. None of the characters feel like themselves and the sets are just hideous.

Yeah, and they didn't know what to do with the child-voiced guy for the entire season. He starts out as the nonredeemable villain shithead who never gets any comeuppance, then they turned him into the main character's boytoy but is also a complete loving rear end in a top hat, then he's some airheaded ditz who is really trying to make things right
And Cox is a massive rear end in a top hat with none of the heart he had in any of the previous episodes and JD and Turk they straight up loving now

Why were they so mean to Lilith. She was never nothing but polite, if a bit cold but that was mostly in response to Frasier, Niles, and Martin being mean to her

It cracks me up that Chandler wants to lend Joey $1500 saying that that should keep him on his feet for a couple of months, in an enormous apartment, in New York.

Joey lives with Chandler so presumably he doesn't have to pay rent during that time. Unless you have a real nose candy problem, $1500 in the late 90s would be plenty to live on, especially since he would have been able to get food stamps for being unemployed.

...I mean, :goonsay:

It was after Chandler moved in with Monica and Joey was chronically unemployed

Also note how she's always the one to get in on the secrets from the other FRIENDSs

If How I Met Your Mother can have a plan, nobody else has an excuse.

Not that I'm saying HIMYMs plan was good. It's probably the worst example I could use.

Wasn't the plan for a long time to make the baker lady be the mother?
Also wasn't it a thing where the second or third episode revealed the mother's name and nobody ever realized it or the creators still tried acting coy about it

Like seriously Ross has to be with Rachel because he fell for her in high school, and throughout the series when they're on it's all inertia from that, not from actual chemistry and developing friendships
Someone said it earlier and I agree, Monica and Chandler work because both are neurotic little weirdos with awful upbringings who build from that to complement each other and become better people so it never felt forced.
Ross and Rachel were together because sheesh, they're Ross and Rachel I mean come on! Meanwhile Ross is an awful jealous controlling person and Rachel could not care less about Ross's interests or personal life
I mean Joey and Rachel made way more sense because Rachel always had this really goofy streak that jived well with Joey so they always had better chemistry

So yeah rewatching the ones where Ross and Rachel fight and then Ross sleeps with a girl immediately after and I have to say both that Ross is a huge bitch and Mark is either so incredibly dense he can't read the tone of a blindingly obvious phone conversation and still bumbles into it to gently caress things up or is actively malicious but at that point after seeing how Ross acted the entire time Rachel has worked at that fashion factory I wouldn't blame him one bit from trying to save her from an awful codependent manipulative relationship

Haven't watched himym in awhile either but I think Ted's problem was more that he's the type of guy who will make grand sweeping romantic gestures to get a girl's attention and start a relationship, but isn't interested in the day to day emotional labor to make that relationship last. Also the sort who would move mountains to cover up even the slightest perceived flaw or baggage or problem with his own life and expect others' help there, but not offer the same in return.

The interactions with Robin are probably the easiest example. Ted hired a band to make a romantic move or would rain dance in hopes of ruining her being alone with someone else, while Barney was the one helping her job hunt and keeping her citizenship.

I never watched Friends so I really have no idea what Ross was like.

Whoa, I had never seen it that way but you're absolutely right with how Ted treated Robin vs. Barney. Ted stole a blue horn but Barney helped her make a curriculum. Ted made it rain but Barney helped her out in smaller ways

Ross was this dude who constantly mooned over his high school crush Rachel but never pursued her and would try to scare away people who were trying to date her and then was all passive about trying to get her, essentially guilting her into falling in love with him and when she did he made a list of pros and cons vis a vis Rachel and the girl he was currently seeing. She found out and got rightfully pissed but forgave him after she saw an old home movie where he as a college student was getting ready to take her a high school senior to her prom but dumped him for her original date who originally wasn't going to show up but did. Then their relationship showed them having actually nothing in common and when she was finally able to escape her dead end waitress job for a pretty good foot-in-the-door opportunity at fashion he figuratively smothered her being an insecure little weiner since it was some dude who helped her get the job and when she eventually said hey let's take a second to reevaluate where we're at he immediately went off to sleep with another girl
