I love Scrubs.

Scrubs is excellent, although I think the earlier series were better, there is only so much material for Dr Cox's rants I suppose :smile:
 
which seasons are you talking about , personally i find 2 and 3 are the best..
 
I'm in the middle of downloading season 3 & I love it. All of it. I just can't get enough.
 
Is a dime 25 cents??
Is that where the joke lies?

Yes and to reinforce the lack of humour for those who lack it, one's a nickel and ones a quarter:wink:, thus 30 cents; the other thing, it's not meant to be a question about the solution, the solution is obvious.

By the way I think Arildno was being sarcastic.:smile:hehe.
