The actor who plays the janitor is called Neil Flynn. He was originally only cast for the pilot and wasnt intended to be a recurring character. He was so funny that the character of the janitor became a regular feature in the show.

The last season of the show was fairly pointless but it could have been alot worse. I actually thought it was better than the last two "proper" seasons of Scrubs. I think the janitor was in a few episodes of it as well by the way.

Anyone getting a load of Mongrels over on BBC3 then? I haven't quite managed to watch a full episode just yet (a quick visit to my old friend the iPlayer should soon solve that), but from what I've seen it looks pretty cool.

For whoever's not in the loop, it's a sitcom about a bunch of animals (puppets, of course) who hang around the back of a pub on the Isle Of Dogs. And it stars Paul Kaye - what more could you ask for?

Hmm I'm gonna check that out now. /downloads

As for Scrubs, I've seen up to and including Season 7 but I don't feel any real desire to watch the rest, especially post-Sacred Heart. It was a good show in its glory days though.

Recently I've finished watching all of Teachers and Chelmsford 123 and I'm currently watching the Fall and Rise of Reginald Perrin, Bottom and Life on Mars (holidays!). Teachers was a great show and a nice change from the standard sitcom format I'm used to (more drama than usual and 50 min eps). They did a surprisingly good job keeping it consistent and fresh by switching up the characters... and Tamzin Malleson is oh so shagworthy. Chelmsford 123 was hilarious too; it's the exact kind of side-splitting cult comedy I've been after.

I'd tell you that you're both in for the times of your lives, but I've been far too preoccupied with my Sopranos binge to check much more of it out

Seen seasons 1-3 again, getting into new territory (for me) with the 4th - just waiting for another eppy to buffer at the minute...

I've still only seen seasons one and two myself. I really need to watch the rest.

My favorite of all time is The Simpsons.

The best cartoon on currently is American Dad.

The best show on currently is True Blood.

The best show will be Game of Thrones when it comes to HBO if my fan boy dreams come true.
