...care; he spends less time saving trauma victims than artificially prolonging the lives of patients who are all but dead; and the hospital is like a high school, where the cocky surgical interns are the jocks and medical interns like J.D. "are the chess club." This is the first sitcom...
...quieted. Expecting to see Ben Folds and his touring band take the stage, instead the crowd heard music more suited for a royal procession pouring from the speakers of Lupo’s Heartbreak Hotel, a popular Providence club. The sarcastically grandiose music soon gave way to cheesy 60s sitcom music and the lights swirled around the empty stage, before the always awkward and geeky Folds finally appeared to the cheers of a capacity crowd.

(It can also be hard to distinguish Micky's implausible fantasies from implausible actual events, as when his assistant and her--of course--hot roommate do an erotic dance for him at her apartment.) Take away the masturbation...
...truly a successful man because he created a set of standards to help [the staff] strive to be better, and not just at work, either." Pretty ambitious stuff for a cook. Especially when it would be a lot easier to just yell a lot and get your own sitcom...
