Seven seasons of Scrubs

[epilogue]

Seven seasons of Scrubs

I wanted so badly to finish the series. But it's like pulling teeth. I just can't find the strength.

[Mickey]

That's at least 15 movies right there.

[epilogue]

Yeah, but I can't watch fifteen movies while cooking dinner, eating, and then cleaning up after.

[Mickey]

Yes you can lol.

[epilogue]

I can't split attention while movie-ing. I'm not a psychopath!

[Anders]

Impressive tv shows list you got there.

[epilogue]

Impressive tv shows list you got there.

thank you! not nearly as impressive as your movie journey this year.

[blueviper]

The point is you tried.

I can't see how people can do 50 books, movies and tv shows. I guess that's why it's a "challenge"

[epilogue]

The point is you tried.

I can't see how people can do 50 books, movies and tv shows. I guess that's why it's a "challenge"

I'm almost certain that if had zero other responsibilities and independent wealth, I still couldn't read 50 books in one year. That sounds absurd to me. And yet I see people who say they read like 300 books. I can't understand that.

[Mickey]

50 movies is easy.

50 books takes a little work and really depends on what you're reading.

I have no interest in watching 50 seasons of television. I don't think there are that many worth watching, certainly not of things I haven't seen before.

[epilogue]

I love TV.

TV is (in general) far more interesting to me than cinema.

[Mickey]

I thought that a few years ago but I don't think it's true anymore.
