| “Scrubs” the Musical |
We just read on Playbill.com that former Avenue Q star Stephanie D’Abruzzo will make an appearance on a musical episode of the NBC series “Scrubs”
They’re doing a musical episode? Oh good. Those are always fun.
The episode will features songs by Avenue Q composer/lyricists Robert Lopez and Jeff Marx. The episode is called “My Musical” and is tentatively scheduled to air on NBC Jan. 18, 2007, at 9 PM ET.
"The general plot," supervising producer Debra Fordham told Playbill.com, "is that a woman comes into Sacred Heart, our hospital, complaining that she constantly hears music, yet all her tests come back normal. Is she just crazy? Or is something else going on?"
Fordham specifically wrote the part for D’Abruzzo after seeing her in another off-Broadway show this past spring.
Good for D’Abruzzo! Good for “Scrubs”! Nobody remembers “Cop Rock”?
Uh, excuse me, I do remember Cop Rock and I may be the last surviving fan of the show! I'm on the Bravo website right now searching their schedule for when they plan to air the Cop Rock series on Brillant But Cancelled. Cop Rock was brillant and anyone who really watched the show and didn't listen to the talk show and comedic hype about it would see that it was a good show. Bravo will be doing the nation a disservice if they choose not the air the Cop Rock episodes. Don't believe the hype, be bold, be Bravo, air the series.

I agree with Kelvin. This was an innovative and entertaining show. In truth, it was probably more innovative than most people could get their head around, but that only made it "cancelled"; it didn't make it "bad". I'd love to be able to see it again. C'mon, Bravo. Air it.
