J.D. returned this week, and the opening sequence slipped back to having him hang the final x-ray, rather than Lucy, who took over the last couple of episodes.
With J.D. back, the silliness between him and Turk returned as well, but it didn't dominate the episode as it so often has in the past. It was also nice to see the old Elliot in full neurotic meltdown mode. Plus, the scene at home where she was scarfing down her meat salad instead of making sweet love to J.D. was almost too authentic to real life with a pregnant woman. It was nice to see J.D. being supportive, if frustrated. And at least Cox is there to support his neediness.

There is always the same FBI team which flies off to some state to solve some grisly crime, often of a serial killer. It has been this way since day one of the series. The only big change was in swapping the leads so that we have had Joe Mantegna for several seasons now instead of Mandy Patinkin.
However, JM has never really become the lead, which is surprising since he is the only actor on board with really strong acting credentials. The intent is thus to keep this an ensemble piece although I really wish they would rev up the tension by using such an A list actor to the full extent. Watch JM as the lead in the Mamet film HOMICIDE and see what he is capable of when fully utilized. After seeing that film, this show will then seem incredibly watered down in comparison. As it is, the dramatic tension comes entirely from the case of the week and none of the weekly regulars.

Chuck Norris v's Mr T
Mr. T once heard that you cant spit on supermans cape, so he decided to try it. When he found superman though, he told him it was still in the wash from the day before when Mr. T used it as toilet paper.
One night Mr. T took a 9 p.m. train home. He still wont give it back.
Mr. T can walk on water and fire, but he prefers to walk on fools.
Things with more mass have more gravity. Therefore the majority of the universe is attracted to Mr. T's gold chains. They are kept in equalibrium however, due to the fact that everthing is afraid to get close to Mr. T.
The devil sold his soul to Mr. T.
WARNING ALL EX-PATS in SHANGHAI - You're off to the zoo.....
Shanghai Preparing for 'Human Zoo' Thu May 11, 6:01 PM ET
SHANGHAI, China - Shanghai is getting set to open a "human zoo."
Four Australian men will live in a glass box on a downtown mall for two weeks in June, with the public able to watch them sleeping, eating and bathing, a news report said Thursday.
The group, known as the Urban Dream Capsule, has drawn crowds with similar displays in London, Montreal, Hong Kong and other cities.
"They won't turn off the lights or pull down the curtains. They show their whole life, from getting up to going to bed," Karen Chang, the event's organizer, told the Shanghai Daily newspaper.

Sopranos star in scooter crash

Sopranos star James Gandolfini was knocked off his scooter when he collided with a cab in New York, according to reports.
The actor, who plays mob boss Tony Soprano in the hit series, apparently lay dazed and confused in the street for a few minutes after being clipped by the taxi and coming off his Vespa in SoHo.
``He was shaken up,'' eyewitness Jason O'Malley told the New York Post.
``A couple of guys helped him off the ground and picked up his bike.''
Gandolfini reportedly told people in the crowd which gathered after the incident yesterday morning: ``I'm all right.''

Rock 'failure' hires a plane to bring fans on world tour
ADVERTISEMENT
SINGER John Otway has hired an airliner to realise his dream of a world tour.
After two chart hits a quarter of a century apart - 'Really Free' in 1977 and 'Bunsen Burner' in 2002 - the 53-year-old has paid a €90,000 deposit for an Airbus A340 in the belief that 240 fans will fork out €6,000 each to go with him or take individual legs of the "Ot-Air" trip for almost €3,000 apiece.
In all, the plane will cost €1m, but Otway, who called his autobiography 'Rock 'n' Roll's Greatest Failure', has built a large cult following through endless tours and self-deprecating humour. And he said 120 fans had so far signed up.

1. Honor thy tailor
Even the best suits need altering. Pants need to be shortened, jackets need to be brought in, sleeves need to be narrowed (yes, you can ask your tailor to slim down your sleeves), and buttons need to be realigned with buttonholes (most guys’ shoulders aren’t entirely even, meaning your jacket often sits a bit askew). You should always buy your correct size, but you then need to have a tailor customize it to your body. It’s the difference between being appropriately dressed and being stylishly dressed.
2. Thou shalt wear sneakers made for a man
