Ryan Broderick is poopy. Everything he says, everything does and most importantly writes, has the foul stench of a trip to the bathroom after an especially rough Maui Taco experience. I used to be okay with it because he made me giggle, but that comically tall Masshole finally crossed the line when he made fun of the show that made me the man I am today, Scrubs.

From episode one, aptly titled “My First Day,” to the most recent, “My Comedy Show”, the show has consistently slam dunked the funk at a breakneck pace. Unlike “Family Guy” or “Friends,” the show has always at least made an attempt to challenge the normal conventions of the American sitcom, and this new season has been no different.

The quality of episodes this season has been at least the best since season 4, and it’s been my favorite season so far. Highlighted by strong performances by John C. McGinley, Ken Jenkins and Zach Braff, the leads have carried the show through some of their finest episodes, with “My Last Words,” essentially the piece about the struggle of dealing with death between Braff, Donald Faison and their patient, with most of the episode being spent at the bedside of the dying man, played by Glynn Turman.

I’ll be the first to admit that Sarah Chalke sucks at a final-season-of-the-Drew-Carey-Show level, but even that has been dealt with proper, as the episode “My Happy Place” rather explicitly established that they were not going to Ross-and-Rachel the J.D.-Eliot couple for the rest of the series.

Now, I know Ryan is a big “Real Housewives of Atlanta” fan, so it can only be assumed he wouldn’t like a good, interesting, clever show if it bit him in the ass, but he has to be aware that this season has been considered by most to be a return to form. The one new thing about the show, the introduction of the interns, has been the best thing to happen to the show since the Brendan Fraser episodes.

Apparently Ryan doesn’t understand that since show lead Braff is leaving the show, they have to develop new characters, and I understand being the uber-hipster he is, he idolizes him for his writing/directing/starring in Garden State, but he has to let go. Braff has made his decision, and I understand if crying himself to sleep to scenes from “Last Kiss” will not have the same sensation it used to without a reassuring feeling that he can wake up to new episodes of Braff he’s dvr’d, it’s just something he’ll have to deal with.

I’m sorry, Ryan, but unlike this season of Scrubs, you suck
