Teeth on the Dial - Wrapping up the season on my favourite comedies

Scrubs (NBC)
Even though NBC held off showing this season until January, I am enjoying the almost continuous run of new episodes. Rumours indicate someone other than Carla is pregnant; whether it is a current cast member or a past girlfriend of a character remains to be seen, but Ask Ausiello @ TV Guide.com (link) promises we’ll be surprised.

4/25/06 (Tu.) (#519) My Lunch
5/2/06 (Tu.) (#520) My Fallen Idol
I won’t spoil it, but hopefully this episode finally earns John C. McGinley (Dr. Cox) a long deserved Emmy nomination.
5/9/06 (Tu.) (#521) My Déjà Vu, My Déjà Vu
5/16/06 (Tu.) (#522) My Urologist

Everybody Hates Chris (UPN)
No confirmation yet, but I would bet that this series will continue next year on the new CW network.

4/20/06 (Th.) (#119) Everybody Hates Drew
Sick of being second best to his little brother, Chris decides to enroll in karate classes
4/27/06 (Th.) (#120) Everybody Hates Playboy
Chris takes his father's playboy magazine to school, but he soon panics when it's stolen.
5/04/06 (Th.) (#121) Everybody Hates Jail
Chris runs into trouble with the law while earning money for a school trip
5/11/06 (Th.) (#122) Everybody Hates Father's Day (season finale)
In celebration of Father's Day, Julius tells the family he wants to spend the day by himself

How I Met Your Mother (CBS)
Last week’s episode put to rest the question of “why didn’t Ted and Robin date later and then marry?” with a resounding “ohhhh, because Ted really #@%!ed up in a realistic way.” What's Alan Watching? discusses “How Ted blew it”(link). Now that Ted and Robin are done, look for the focus to shift on the stellar supporting cast, specifically on the wedding planning for Lily and Marshall. Alumni from shows Freaks & Geeks (Jason Segall's old show) and Angel/Buffy will continue to pop up.

4/24/06 (Mo.) (#119) Mary The Paralegal
5/1/06 (Mo.) (#120) Best Prom Ever
5/8/06 (Mo.) (#121) Milk
5/15/06 (Mo.) (#122) N/A (Season Finale)

My Name Is Earl (NBC)
When the first season of My Name is Earl comes out on DVD this summer, one of the special extras is a mini-episode that imagines how Earl would have turned out if he had not watch Carson Daly and instead had watched Family Guy’s morally corrupt baby Stewie Griffin. Earl creator Greg Garcia used to be a producer on Family Guy, which eased the necessary clearances for the My Name Is Earl / Family Guy Crossover (link).

4/27/06 (Th.) (#123) Stole A Badge
5/4/06 (Th.) (#122) BB
5/11/06 (Th.) (#124) (Tentative Date) (Season Finale)

The Office (NBC)
To tide over fans of the show, NBC will offer The Office webisodes this summer (link). The shorts will air presumable on iTune (US only) and the NBC.com site, and will focus on the supporting office accounting staff of Dunder-Mifflin. The premise of the series is that the accountants can't account for $3,000 and they go on a mission to find out who's responsible. The series will star Angela, Kevin and Oscar, and will include special appearances from Dwight (Rainn Wilson) and Phyllis.

4/27/06 (Th.) (#220) Drug Testing
5/4/06 (Th.) (#221) Conflict Resolution (*)
5/11/06 (Th.) (#222) N/A (Season Finale)
