I laugh when I hear people talk about how “The Bear” is a sure thing winner for Best Comedy Series and that it’s such a lock nothing whatsoever can derail it. Ha! Ha I say! Oh, it’s naturally the heavy favorite with its 23 nominations and has remained the overwhelming frontrunner clear through Emmy season, all right. In the Gold Derby combined Emmy odds, it’s running away with this race. The same is true of ““Shōgun” for drama after its giant haul of 25 Emmy bids. And nothing can beat “Baby Reindeer” for Best Limited Series, right? Jessica Gunning (“Baby Reindeer”) is a shoo-in for limited supporting actress, isn’t she? And no one could possibly beat Jamie Lee Curtis (“The Bear”) for comedy guest actress – could they?
But if Emmy history has taught us anything, it’s that upsets happen, even when it comes to shows and people considered locks.

Orion Hunter hasn’t changed much since we last saw him on Married at First Sight, and his behavior has become a point of frustration for his wife, Lauren Good.
Lauren reached out for advice on social media, telling her followers that Orion has refused to sign their divorce papers after several months.
One would think that Lauren and Orion would be the first couple to finalize their paperwork since they were the first couple to call it quits on the show.
Kicking off what would arguably be the worst season in the show’s history, Orion angered and confused fans when he asked his wife for a divorce immediately after their honeymoon.
While Orion didn’t want to be married, he wanted to be on camera and made sure to attend all the cast events during filming.

Ted Lasso season 4 could begin production as early as next year, as Warner Brothers renews the contracts of key cast members.
There are few success stories as unlikely as Ted Lasso. Originating as a character Jason Sudeikis played to promote NBC Sports’ coverage of the Premier League in 2013, it was another four years before Scrubs creator Bill Lawrence came aboard to develop the series for Apple TV+. Sudeikis’ long-time friend and colleague Brendan Hunt and Joe Kelly were also among the creative team.
After three successful seasons, the show ended in 2023, wrapping up all the character arcs but leaving plenty of room for a continuation. We reported earlier in August that another season was all down to Jason Sudeikis.
According to Deadline, season 4 is much closer to production than we thought. They have renewed contracts with key cast members Hannah Waddingham, Brett Goldstein and Jeremy Swift. The next step is...

Ted Lasso is one of the most beloved shows of the last decade. Developed by Jason Sudeikis, Bill Lawrence, Brendan Hunt, and Joe Kelly, the Apple TV+ series is based on a series of promotional media for NBC Sports’ coverage of England’s Premier League and it follows the story of Ted Lasso, an American college football coach who is hired to coach an English soccer team, in which he has no experience in. However, he is optimistic because of his confidence in other people’s kindness and his leadership skills. Ted Lasso stars Jason Sudeikis, Hannah Waddingham, Jeremy Swift, Phil Dunster, Brett Goldstein, Brendan Hunt, Nick Mohammed, Juno Temple, Sarah Niles, Anthony Head, and James Lance. While Season 3 of Ted Lasso seemed to be its last the powers that be have greenlit the series for a fourth season with the original cast returning, so if you loved Ted Lasso...

Zach Braff is addressing the possibility of a Scrubs reboot and is hopeful it could happen.
In a recent interview, the medical sitcom star said what might be holding the show scoring a reunion.
“I’m gonna tell you something that nobody else is gonna get,” the actor said in an interview to Entertainment Tonight. “Scrubs is a Disney show. Bill [Lawrence] has a Warner Bros. deal. Once those two companies figure that out, I think the people will get what they want. I think it’s gonna happen.”
Braff expressed his interest in reprising his role of Dr. John Michael “Jd” Dorian and noted that he is still close to his former co-stars.
“It would be so much fun [with] all my favorite people. We all still hang out. A lot of people who were on long shows say that, but it’s true,” he said. “I was just on vacation with Sarah Chalke…...

Scrubs ran from 2001 to 2010 and became a cult phenomenon not only in the US but around the world.
At first glance, it could be mistaken for a typical sitcom, but in fact Bill Lawrence's project is much deeper. It's not just about the unique combination of comedy and drama: Scrubs also raised controversial and profound questions that other shows didn't dare to ask.
1. Zack Braff – J. D.
For his performance as J. D., the actor received three Golden Globe nominations. Braff, who played the main character in the series, did not appear only in the last season, when it was decided to reboot Scrubs, changing the location and part of the cast.
Zach's career is successful, and he not only acts as an actor, but also directs films – for example he made Garden State and Wish I Was Here. In 2021, Braff received an Emmy nomination for his work on the Ted Lasso episode Biscuits.

While “Scrubs” was a massive success in its network run on NBC, series star Zach Braff says the cast was “exhausted” by the final season of production. In an interview for Michael Rosenbaum’s “Inside of You” podcast, the actor recalled how burned-out the cast was during the show’s last run.
“By the time nine years were over, we were sort of all exhausted by it,” Braff said. “I felt like, at the time, we were starting to repeat jokes. Everyone was pretty fried. … We would do insane hours that people don’t even do anymore.”
He also added: “We didn’t really have much of a life outside of it.”
During its run, the medical sitcom garnered a broad and loyal fan base, industry recognition and received 17 Emmy nominations, winning twice.
In an interview with Variety, “Scrubs” creator Bill Lawrence admitted that he believes there’s some real momentum for a revival.

Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? fans are buzzing after the latest episode featuring the season’s first official winners of the top prize.
The season premiered weeks ago on ABC and introduced a change to the format. Instead of one contestant playing the game, there are two.
In addition, it’s a pair of celebrity contestants who are typically good friends, colleagues, or family members, such as Jack and Kelly Osbourne.
While previous Millionaire formats had everyday contestants playing the game to leave with some significant money, the celebrity pairs are playing for money that goes to charities of their choice.
During the Wednesday, August 14 episode, viewers saw another pair of celebs attempt to climb up the board and win the $1 million.
One of the two teams did just that, which was the first time it had happened on the game show under the new team format.

The sitcom fans of the healthcare community consistently cite Scrubs as TV’s most accurate portrayal of the average experience of young medical professionals — including the burnout, apparently.
When the two-part Scrubs Season Eight finale first aired on May 6, 2009, fans of the ABC sitcom were able to tearfully say goodbye to the cast and characters that had created so many memorable and impactful moments in a fittingly bittersweet send-off that brought the series to a well-received close. After spending so many years struggling with ABC over budget restraints, Scrubs creator Bill Lawrence and his team managed to tie up the series and its character arcs perfectly as J.D. said goodbye to Sacred Heart for good. Then, later that same month, ABC signed Lawrence and Scrubs up for one more 13-episode season, dragging both J.D. and actor Zach Braff back for one last hurrah at the same fake hospital where...

For Bill Lawrence and Vince Vaughn, “Bad Monkey” was more than just another show. It was a passion project fueled by an author they both love, Carl Hiaasen.
“Without being a dork, he was so influential for me as a storyteller. I started reading his books when I was a teenager,” Bill Lawrence, the developer and executive producer behind the Apple TV+ original, told TheWrap.
Lawrence has a long history with Florida, the setting behind Hiaasen’s quip-filled and twisted literary thrillers. His parents currently live there, and his aunts and uncles are all fishing guides along the St. Johns River. Given that background and Lawrence’s own sense of humor, it’s only natural he would connect with one of the bestselling novelists in Florida, an author who’s known for his dark comedy as much as his grisly murder mysteries.

From a budgetary perspective alone, Bill Lawrence — the writer behind “Scrubs,” “Ted Lasso,” “Cougar Town” and “Shrinking” — shouldn’t have shot his new Apple TV+ series “Bad Monkey” in Florida.
“There’s no tax break, and it’s immediately more expensive,” Lawrence says. “There are so many regulations about the wildlife and about what you’re allowed to do. There was a massive storm every 20 minutes that you have to shut down production. Animals were wandering around everywhere. It was tricky. But it mattered to Carl.”
“Carl” is Carl Hiaasen, Lawrence’s favorite author and the famed Miami-based writer behind the 2013 novel “Bad Monkey,” upon which the new series is adapted. Before Hiaasen would sign off on the show, he had one major stipulation: You have to film it in Florida.
“I went from thinking it wasn’t worth it when I was there — because it was a nightmare — to being really grateful,...

Zach Braff is opening up about the Scrubs reboot.
In an interview with Et, the 49-year-old actor revealed why a reboot of the beloved hospital-set sitcom hasn’t happened yet.
“I’m gonna tell you something that nobody else is gonna get,” he began.

“Scrubs is a Disney show. Bill [Lawrence] has a Warner Bros. deal. Once those two companies figure that out, I think the people will get what they want. I think it’s gonna happen,” he continued.

“Scrubs is a Disney show. Bill [Lawrence] has a Warner Bros. deal. Once those two companies figure that out, I think the people will get what they want. I think it’s gonna happen,” he continued.

Fifteen years after “Scrubs” ended its nine-season run on television, fans of the beloved medical comedy may get a chance to see more of their favorite characters. Zach Braff, who played J.D. on the show, has hinted that talks are underway for a possible reunion project.
Braff remains grateful for the career-changing role of J.D. However, he recalled the physically and emotionally draining production schedules during the later seasons, with 12-14 hour workdays. This exhaustion started affecting the show. “We were repeating jokes and everyone felt tired,” Braff said.
Despite the long hours, Braff loved the laughter and friendships created on set. “Belly laughing every day was the job,” he said fondly. Those bonds have lasted, with recent vacations alongside co-star Sarah Chalke and creator Bill Lawrence.

How Vince Vaughn and Bill Lawrence’s 25-Year Friendship Led to the Apple TV+ Cop Comedy ‘Bad Monkey’
![Image](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/M/MV5BNWE1MjE5MmEtNTFjNC00ODY2LWI3YmEtZWYyMDEzZDUwM2FiXkEyXkFqcGc@._V1_QL75_UX500_CR0,26,500,281_.jpg)
Vince Vaughn first met Bill Lawrence more than 25 years ago, so when cop comedy “Bad Monkey” came around, the actor jumped at the opportunity to finally work together.
“We just laughed a lot,” Vaughn told Variety at the Apple TV+ show’s premiere on Monday night. About collaborating with the “Spin City” and “Ted Lasso” hitmaker, Vaughn added: “He’s got such good ideas. He welcomes ideas. It was easy.”
It’s hardly a surprise things worked out so well, since Lawrence has made a bit of a habit of working with friends and family. At this stage in his career, “it’s just so fun to work with the people you want to spend time with,” he said, as his daughter, singer-songwriter Charlotte Lawrence, walked past him on the sand-colored carpet outside the Hammer Museum in Westwood.
Lawrence was initially apprehensive about casting her in the show, though he knew she had the chops.

The Florida Keys is paradise on earth. As long as you ignore the crime, the corruption, the eccentric locals and some issues involving a pet monkey in a mini diaper. After a fisherman pulls a severed arm from the water (one that’s flipping the bird), the authorities want the problem disposed of immediately. Andrew Yancy (Vince Vaughn), a detective on suspension due to an unfortunate incident involving his girlfriend’s husband, is tasked with dumping the limb. He senses that not all right is in this case, and soon he finds himself on the hunt for a possible murderer. Cue the treacherous family members, a gorgeous coroner assistant, a real estate scheme in the Caribbean, voodoo queens and, yes, one misbehaving primate.
Apple TV+’s “Bad Monkey” brings together TV maven Bill Lawrence of “Scrubs” and “Ted Lasso” fame and Carl Hiaasen, perhaps the most beloved comedy crime writer in America.

More than a decade after its finale, the beloved medical sitcom Scrubs could be returning to television screens. Bill Lawrence, the creator and showrunner of Scrubs, recently revealed that he is open to developing a revival of the popular series that aired from 2001 to 2010. Lawrence hopes to address issues some fans had with the ninth and final season while also honoring the characters that made the show a hit.
Scrubs followed doctors at Sacred Heart Hospital over nine seasons. The series was praised for its blend of humor and emotion. It also featured fantasy sequences that provided insight into the mind of main character Jd, played by Zach Braff. However, the ninth season focused on a new group of medical interns and felt disconnected from earlier seasons to some viewers.

While the era of TV revivals may not be quite as prevalent as it once was, Scrubs creator Bill Lawrence still feels very optimistic that a revival of his acclaimed medical sitcom will happen.
While speaking with LADbible, Lawrence said, “We’re definitely going to do it, just because we’ve all been enjoying hanging out. Look, there’s no huge drive because everybody’s successful, and I think the show was on for like, 72 years, but on the other hand, medical people over here right now are very heroic to me.“
Lawrence continued: “It’s been a tough road, and no one’s becoming a doctor right now to get rich here in America, and we’ve all been hanging out and talking. So I’m open to it. I’m open to it, and I don’t want to do it as a movie, but I’m definitely...

Exclusive: Picked up to series just a day after the 20th year anniversary of the Entourage premiere, NBC’s Suits: L.A. shares a lot more in common with the HBO showbiz comedy than a Los Angeles setting. They also both feature a main character inspired by — and named after — a top Hollywood agent.
Entourage‘s uber agent Ari Gold (Jeremy Piven) being modeled after Endeavor CEO Ari Emanuel is well established and part of TV lore. But it’s little known that the central character of Suits: L.A., Ted Black, played by Arrow alum Stephen Amell, was inspired by prominent CAA agent and former ICM Partners managing director Ted Chervin — and the project’s original incarnation was even titled Ted.
“Ted Black is Ted Chervin,” says Literate’s Dennis Kim, Suits and Suits: L.A. creator Aaron Korsh’s former agent and current manager.

Fans of the beloved medical sitcom Scrubs have reason for optimism as creator Bill Lawrence shared his enthusiasm for revisiting the acclaimed series. In a candid chat with LADbible, Lawrence expressed a commitment to bringing the characters he “used to love” back to screens in some fashion.
The NBC/ABC comedy was a landmark for blending heart and humor over nine seasons from 2001 to 2010. Scrubs earned devoted fans and critical acclaim for its unique blend of surreal comedy and emotional drama inside the halls of Sacred Heart Hospital. With lasting popularity and a dedicated fandom, calls for a revival have grown in recent years.
While Lawrence had previously floated a movie format, he now voices support for “doing a couple more years of that show” in a limited series or possible multi-season run. As the mastermind behind other respected comedies like Ted Lasso and Cougar Town, Lawrence’s track record...

Fans of TV medical shows will get to see the return of some tried-and-true favorites this fall — 9-1-1 Season 8, Chicago Med Season 10, and Grey’s Anatomy Season 21 — and there are some promising new additions to the broadcast and cable lineups on the way as well. There are five— yes, five— new doctor-centric shows premiering soon, so which one is the right fit for you? If you’re in the market for a Scrubs-like hospital workplace comedy, St. Denis Medical is where it’s at. Of all the new medical shows hitting the airwaves soon, only one is a straight-up comedy series: St. Denis Medical, which premieres on NBC on November 12. The network itself is comparing the “mockumentary”-style series to other workplace comedy shows like The Office, and it sounds like it’d be a good fit for fans of screwball humor like in Scrubs as well.

Bill Lawrence and Jason Segel’s Shrinking returns for season 2 on Apple TV in October, and here are the details.
According to Deadline, Apple has confirmed that the Shrinking season 2 will begin on the 15th October.
Bill Lawrence is probably best known for creating Scrubs, the wonderful hospital sitcom which ran for nine seasons from 2002 to 2009. It showcased Lawrence’s skill in weaving incredible pathos through a show crammed with jokes – My Lunch from season 5 may just be one of the best examples of this in any sitcom – and he has only gone from strength to strengh.
After six seasons of Cougar Town starring Courtney Cox, he co-created Ted Lasso with Jason Sudeikis and Brendan Hunt, which soon became a global phenomenon due to its mix of hope, kindness and uncynical humour.
That brings us to Shrinking, which he co-created with Jason Segel and Ted Lasso star Brett Goldstein.

At the 2004 Grammy Awards, all eyes were on industry heavyweight Quentin Tarantino and his “Kill Bill Vol. 2” soundtrack – but it was an unknown indie film that walked away with the trophy. In a major upset, Zach Braff’s directorial debut “Garden State” clinched the award for Best Compilation Soundtrack Album for a Motion Picture, besting Tarantino’s widely presumed frontrunner.
Braff, then best known as J.D. on the NBC comedy “Scrubs,” made “Garden State” for just under $3 million. Yet its eclectic soundtrack, featuring tracks from The Shins, Coldplay, and Iron & Wine, became a massive commercial success – selling over 1.3 million copies and going platinum. Still, winning against Tarantino seemed impossible according to Braff. “I certainly didn’t think there would ever be a chance where I would beat Quentin Tarantino at anything,” he admitted.
When presenters announced “Garden State” as the winner, Braff could hardly believe it. “I remember being...

Still, winning against Tarantino seemed impossible according to Braff. “I certainly didn’t think there would ever be a chance where I would beat Quentin Tarantino at anything,” he admitted.
When presenters announced “Garden State” as the winner, Braff could hardly believe it. “I remember being...

Garden State was released in theaters on July 28, 2004, telling the offbeat story about a struggling actor who finds love and a new lease on life after returning to his hometown following his mother’s death.
The romantic dramedy, which currently boasts an 86 percent freshness rating on Rotten Tomatoes, grossed more than $35 million at the worldwide box office and won best first feature at the 2005 Independent Spirit Awards. Its acclaimed soundtrack also made fans flock straight from the cinema to the nearest record store, with the album later beating Quentin Tarantino’s Kill Bill Vol. 2 and Shrek 2 for the Grammy for best compilation soundtrack album.
Despite being helmed by and starring Zach Braff, who was in the midst of becoming a major TV star on Scrubs, and starring Natalie Portman, Garden State faced numerous roadblocks. It struggled to secure financing and was ultimately made with a constrained budget of $2.5 million.

“Free is the right price,” or so the old cliche goes. Streaming free trials are a great way to get to know a platform’s library, but customers are likely pretty familiar with Peacock’s catalog already. The NBCUniversal streaming service is home to old favorites from primetime NBC like “The Office,” “Community,” “Scrubs,” and many more, as well as originals like “Five Nights at Freddy's” and “Those About to Die,” and Universal movies spanning the spectrum from “Monkey Man” to “Kung Fu Panda 4.”

The Garden State soundtrack was an insanely popular compilation with the likes of The Shins, Coldplay, Iron & Wine, and more. So championed it was that you might be surprised to learn that it actually won the Grammy for Best Compilation Soundtrack Album. Also up that year was Quentin Tarantino’s Kill Bill: Vol. 2, whose selection of Johnny Cash, Shivaree and Ennio Morricone had to “let go” of the gold to Zach Braff’s jukebox.
Zach Braff remembered that Quentin Tarantino had a far better attitude about Kill Bill losing out to Garden State than he did Pulp Fiction falling to Forrest Gump. As he told The Ringer, “Tarantino jokingly said, ‘You stole my f*cking Grammy, man,’ and then gave me a big smile and a hug. He was super sweet and supportive. I was the kind of film-school kid that would have put a Reservoir Dogs poster on my wall.

Zach Braff never thought he’d beat out Quentin Tarantino at any awards show, let alone the Grammys.
Braff recalled to The Ringer that Tarantino congratulated him in a classically subversive way after the “Garden State” soundtrack won the award for Best Compilation Soundtrack for Visual Media over Tarantino’s “Kill Bill: Vol. 2.”
“I was up against Quentin Tarantino. I certainly didn’t think there would ever be a chance where I would beat Quentin Tarantino at anything,” Braff said. “My father wanted to come, and I was like, ‘Dad, there’s no way I’m gonna win a Grammy. Tarantino is winning the Grammy, and you’re wasting your trip from Jersey out here.’ And then we fucking won! I couldn’t believe it.”
Braff continued, “Tarantino jokingly said, ‘You stole my fucking Grammy, man,’ and then gave me a big smile and a hug. He was super sweet and supportive.

Whitney Rydbeck, the actor and mime who portrayed the last of the paintball victims in Jason Lives: Friday the 13th Part VI and one of the original crash test dummies in an iconic public service campaign that promoted seat belt safety, has died. He was 79.

Heartbreak comes frequently for Friday the 13th fans. The franchise has had a rough ride over the last couple decades, getting bogged down in legal issues and creative false stars. We get a video game, then the rug is pulled out from under it when it’s just getting started. A movie almost happens, then gets scrapped just weeks before filming was scheduled to begin. The Crystal Lake TV show was just a couple months from filming, then the showrunner gets fired. But worse than all of that is the fact that we’re in a time when actors from our beloved films are passing away very often. Just last month, we lost Erich Anderson, who was in the cast of Friday the 13th: The Final Chapter. Now Jason Lives: Friday the 13th Part VI director Tom McLoughlin has broken the news that Whitney Rydbeck, who played the ill-fated paintball player Roy in his film,...

We’ve learned the sad news this week that actor Whitney Rydbeck, who played a brief but memorable role in Friday the 13th Part VI: Jason Lives, has passed away at the age of 79.
Jason Lives director Tom McLoughlin said in a statement to Bloody Disgusting, “I’m heartbroken to share this past Monday night we lost the wonderfully talented physical comedian/actor Whitney Rydbeck. He played Roy the nerdy businessman/paintball player. His comic performance is still making audiences and fans laugh almost 40 years later.”
“I have worked with Whitney for over 53 years,” McLoughlin’s statement continues. “We’ve collaborated on so many projects together. Some as comic partners on stage and film, others on projects I wrote and directed. I specifically wrote the Roy part in Jason Lives for him knowing his unique talent. We also became close friends over these past decades.

Zach Braff is best known for his work on TV’s Scrubs, as well as his film Garden State, and of course, the time Ashton Kutcher tricked him into assaulting a literal child. But let us not forget about Braff’s second feature film as a writer-director, which came out 10 years ago this week: Wish I Was Here.
The actual movie, about a dad who decides to homeschool his two kids, is far less memorable than the controversy surrounding how the movie got made in the first place.
Famously, Braff opted to crowdfund Wish I Was Here on Kickstarter, which, at the time, seemed like an odd move for an established celebrity whose previous directorial effort had been a financial and critical success.
How did Braff defend his decision to turn to Kickstarter? While Braff obviously could have received more traditional funding, he told his fans that he was adamant...

At the start of last year, former DC Films boss Walter Hamada signed a first-look deal with Paramount Pictures, the idea being that he would become, as Deadline put it, “the architect of Paramount’s mainstream horror genre pod, with the mission to release several low- to mid-budget films per year across theatrical and streaming.” Now Deadline has an update on Hamada’s horror-minded efforts at Paramount, as they’re reporting that the studio has given the greenlight to the Hamada-produced horror film Primate, which has Oscar-winner Troy Kotsur attached to star.

This year we, as horror fans, are going to be gifted with a film from director Oz Perkins. That movie is Longlegs and stars Maika Monroe as well as the fascinating actor Nicolas Cage. As anyone may know, Cage has starred in many different types of films, especially horror, and here, he stars as a serial killer who gives off some very Ghepetto-esque vibes. Regardless, we here at JoBlo will be there opening day for the film. As stated a minute ago, we recognize that Cage is vast in various types of genres…but this wasn’t his first dip in the pool of horror. Today on Horror Revisited, we are exploring Martin Scorsese’s underrated film Bringing Out the Dead (watch it Here), which stars Nicolas Cage in one of his most honest, endearing and albeit best roles. So, turn on the sirens, strap in and let’s tour...

Warning: contains plot spoilers about Season Three of The Bear
During this year’s strike-delayed TV award season, the second season of The Bear was practically unstoppable. From the Critics’ Choice Awards to the Golden Globes to the Emmys — at the last of these, it won three of the four major acting awards — The Bear was an absolute juggernaut. But questions about whether it properly belonged among Comedy shows were so persistent that the cast has had to weigh in.
Back in January, after its Emmy sweep, star Jeremy Allen White (who plays Carmy) emphatically stated that it is a comedy; meanwhile, Ebon Moss-Bachrach (who plays Richie) opined, “These ideas about comedy and drama are a little bit outdated.” The question came up again this week, before the brand-new third season dropped last night, with Moss-Bachrach more or less repeating himself: “I just think we’re in a more nuanced place,...

Ranker is a popular place on the Internet where people can rank whatever they want, however they want, and whenever they want. This is always a fan-focused ranking system, and it is never officially tied to the people behind the projects in question. Recently, a large survey was organized on Ranker, whose goal was to determine the best movie sitocoms of all time. The list includes more than 250 series, but in our report, we have decided to list the top ten sitcoms from the site to provide you with better insight, combined with our original comments and opinions, which will add flavor to the whole report.
Of course, since this is indeed an important list, we have decided to report on it, so we are going to bring you the results by listing the top 10 sitcoms on this list, from 10th to first place. We hope you’ll enjoy it!
