![]() ![]() As if the scene itself wasn't funny enough (with Cox tossing Turk's phone down the hallway), the fact that the song that is clearly being played across the entirety of the scene was "Guy Love" made us instantly forget that the episode was a bit of a bore until that point. It is amazing that something this small would get such a great reaction from us, but the fact that the song that Turk's phone was playing was "Guy Love" from the musical episode of Scrubs, "My Musical," was just hilarious. Our favorite joke was most definitely Turk's ringtone on his cell phone. While the road trip was a bust, there were still a couple of large laughs in the show. Either way this type of irrational character behavior and stagnant character progression wasted a genuine opportunity to expand on Carla's independence or growing embrace to motherhood, or Elliot and Keith's relationship, or even the Janitor and J.D.'s ridiculous rivalry - but instead we got nonsensical comedy that reveled in being more random than meaningful. ![]() Case in point was the Janitor who, granted fell out of a moving vehicle, but turned into a dopey happy friend to all aboard the RV - we couldn't tell if the Janitor was messing with everybody by being silly, or if he was just knocked silly when attempting to leave the moving vehicle. In an episode like this we would normally look for character progression on the road, but instead we had characters reverting back as far as possible and acting just plain strange. While generally we would embrace such a gimmick, the comedy related to the cross-country trip just wasn't funny. The episode's mediocrity can be blamed on the road trip. Unfortunately these interesting bits of the show came in the last couple minutes, after a mediocre start. While the random comedy of Scrubs is the majority of the reason that we watch the show, over the past six years we have learned to care for the characters and as such we want to see their lives end happily, so when the show messes around with us dramatically like the end of this episode did we can't help but be glued to the screen. In the end all the characters left on a bittersweet note relating to their relationships and children. Cox and Jordan dealt with their own ultrasound mishap, and were forced into prenatal surgery. ![]() off to see Kim and catch the ultrasound of their unborn child. Using Kelso's RV we watched as the group tried on Kelso's kimonos, tore off a whole side of the vehicle and dropped J.D. As mentioned "My Road to Nowhere" contains a road trip which was able to get J.D., Carla, Elliot, Keith, Ted and the Janitor out of Sacred Heart and onto the open road. ![]()
