A year in the making, the<a href=\"http:\/\/www.timdiana.com\/post\/106831599\/the-tim-diana-show-endings-it-begins-with-a\"> final, first episode<\/a> of the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.timdiana.com\/\">Tim &#038; Diana Show<\/a> was released yesterday. Having matured greatly over the year the show was humorously insightful and a lot of fun for a roughly bimonthly break from reality to the world of meta reality. There&#8217;s a paper half written in my head for which the Tim &#038; Diana show is but one support; hopefully, I&#8217;ll figure it out and write it down soon. I might have to wait until after digesting the directors commentary available on the DVD, which I hope my status as number one fan will get me a copy of.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/72.233.35.22\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/05\/00000081.png\"><img src=\"http:\/\/72.233.35.22\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/05\/00000081-1024x576.png\" alt=\"Scrubs - My Finale 1\" title=\"Scrubs - My Finale 1\" width=\"1024\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-1050\" srcset=\"http:\/\/liryon.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/05\/00000081-1024x576.png 1024w, http:\/\/liryon.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/05\/00000081-300x168.png 300w, http:\/\/liryon.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/05\/00000081.png 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The other show that ended well was Scrubs. When I first moved to Boston, I lived for two weeks in a hotel in Burlington, MA. Only one of those weeks I was working. The first week I was dealing with moving my stuff and watching Scrubs. I watched seasons 1 &#8211; 3 in that week (I think). It was just amazingly hilarious. I forget which, but one of those early seasons is in the running for best season of television I&#8217;ve ever seen. Since then Scrubs has soured, so much so that I begged them to put the show out of its misery at the end of season seven (Note: no actual literal begging or letter writing occurred). That said season eight has been quite a surprise and the ending, while not funny, was so well done it can&#8217;t go unmentioned.<\/p>\n<p>I just absolutely loved the wonder years type filmstrip ending to Scrubs, which I didn&#8217;t get around to watching until yesterday. I really liked the twist that it wasn&#8217;t saying from the future, what did happen, but only saying what might happen. The scenes totally hit me, if only I could look forward to that kind of thing (maybe I can). Also, the music in season 8 of Scrubs has been amazing and it continued to be <a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=H3MUARmLOZ4\">in that scene.<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/72.233.35.22\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/05\/00000002.png\"><img src=\"http:\/\/72.233.35.22\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/05\/00000002-1024x576.png\" alt=\"Scrubs - My Finale 2\" title=\"Scrubs - My Finale 2\" width=\"1024\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-1049\" srcset=\"http:\/\/liryon.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/05\/00000002-1024x576.png 1024w, http:\/\/liryon.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/05\/00000002-300x168.png 300w, http:\/\/liryon.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/05\/00000002.png 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><ins datetime=\"2009-05-16T17:20:15+00:00\">I guess what I&#8217;m saying about scrubs is<\/ins> that now I&#8217;ve enjoyed it for two reasons: for the comedy that it was and the drama it became. Before this episode I somewhat resented how it was often more touching the funny in than latter seasons.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Nothing profound is ending for me anytime soon, but it sort of feels like it due to some well done final episodes.
