Well, Sacred Fart (ha... love that) has always been a teaching hospital, but they reworked the locale to include the classrooms (mostly because Bill Lawrence now seems to be fronting two shows, both produced at the Culver Studios to make it easier to bounce between the two). I liked the janitor's sendoff in the first episode, and I liked the way JD handled the character I've already nicknamed the female JD (my guess is we'll find out Judy's last name starts with a D, making her another J.D. for Dr. Cox to be annoyed by). I'm choosing to look at the name of the series as coincidental. It isn't unprecedented. There were, after all, two different shows called "ER" co-starring George Clooney. As a new series, it was familiar enough in tone, so it didn't alienate longtime fans (are you reading this, "SGU" producers?), and the new elements have potential to stand-alone as a show. I'll actually be more interested in seeing what happens in episode seven, after Zach Braff's contract with the show expires. I agree there is some awkwardness in justifying career changes with the "staff," but I can see potentially humorous "flashbacks" explaining their decisions, just as they flashedback to explain what happened to the janitor. -- Kevin M.
