One of the best of the early episodes.

This episode pits newly related step-siblings Toby and Ashley against each other in the election for Degrassi Community School president. Toby as the campaign manager for his best friend J.T. and Ashley running for herself.

By the end of the episode Toby and Ashley are beginning to connect with each other as well as beginning to understand that they don't need to dislike each, and that they should get along if they want to survive middle school.

This is coming from an American who first saw these shows on DVD.

Having not seen the original series yet when I began watching these episodes it was a bit too nostalgic for me at the beginning with the flashbacks to the original and what not; but at the same time it made it that much better because we were not being introduced to the characters anew just updated on their lives. It was like trying on an old glove after a few years.

The sub-plot of the episode and the beginning of the series was also well done with the internet dating and things.

The cast and crew were also very well chosen and performed their roles quite well.

This is just the second part of the first episode.

The second new Scrubs episode in a row that I have felt the need to comment on. First off well done episode. It's about time that Kelso get an episode dedicated to him.

However I did think it was a bad idea for a situational comedy to try and tackle an issue as divisive as the Iraq War, until I saw the episode. I felt that it was well done, and did not try to attempt to force the views of the writers or the actors on the war but presented the issue from both sides.

The only thing is that I wish JD had a bigger role within the episode, but his lack of a presence is also very well played.

Without giving away any plot I also think that Kelso's daydream sequence's were very funny.

First off this is a pretty good flick. Keanu Reeves gives a decent performance and the rest of the cast does well within the course of the movie.

The movie plot itself is a complete rip-off of the 1991 movie Necessary Roughness starring Scott Bakula.

From needing to start a team over, in this movie due to a pro strike, in the other due to college violations to the old quarter-back with the 'what-if' syndrome, even the love story portion.

This flick just updates and changes Necessary Roughness from a college football movie to a pro-football movie.

This is a very good flick, and Scott Bakula has always been one of my favorite actors.

I first saw this film on TV as a child and recently picked up the DVD in a bargain bin and just re-watched it. It has only gotten better with age.

I love the concept of this movie, and having been a college athlete myself, understand the NCAA sanctions and the rampant cheating that does go one within the sports world, which made this movie all the more enjoyable for me.

Within the course of this movie we see the Texas State University football team (the two time defending national champions) suffer through a plethora of NCAA violations and lose all of the scholarship players, coaches and broadcast rights to their games. The new coach recruits a 35-year old freshman with a what-if I had gone to college attitude, and he quickly meets and falls for his journalism teacher, before she realised that he was not faculty but one of her students.

It's fun to watch this film and wonder 'what if' like if this really did happen to this extent how would a team prevail.

It has been said that TV shows 'Jump the Shark' when the main cast starts having kids, or if they do a musical episode. Well Scrubs has now done both, and it is working very well.

They worked the music in the musical episode into the plot quite well, and the cast sang it with ease, and mostly good voices. I enjoyed that the music was all parody of real musicals and the songs themselves were funny.

This actually worked quite well within the plot and did not in my opinion do anything to ruin the integrity of the normal show.

This was not the best show in the series history, but it was a very interesting episode.
