I rarely comment on IMDb against TV shows, even less about American TV shows, however, Scrubs has got to be the only American sitcom I have liked in years since classics like 'Cheers' or "M*A*S*H", Scrubs shares some Comedy drama traits with the latter (in more ways than one) its no wonder it pulled my interest.

Also, I love what John C. McGinley brings to anything he does, like one of my other favorite actors of today (namely William H Macy) you can guarantee that there will be always something original on offer.

The only other series I have found in the last ten years that shines (And that includes Friends, which I found mentally insulting for the most part) is Malcolm in the middle, very creative show - well written off the wall humour - which is what I like about Scrubs :).

Scrubs is agleaming sign of hope that the US can still produce quality in a sea of mediocrity!.

I followed Black Books on the coattails of Father Ted (As I believe it shares at least one common writer.) It would be easy to say that by and large the American audience would have trouble with the humour but I can say that it (like Father Ted) is well loved in Australia, as can be said for a lot of English/Irish/Scottish humour - simply the best and most imaginative.

I wont spoil it for you, there is no comedy like it - If you liked Father Ted then you'll probably love this (as I do) for being original and very off the wall humour.

5 out of 5, A classic cult comedy series.

Crackerjack, starring Mick Malloy & Judith Lucy - both part of the cast in the early 90's Saturday night comedy show "The Late Show", Bill Hunter, an Australian movie icon and John Clarke, who we still see regularly on Australian TV along side Brian Dawe.

Crackerjack, losely is about a guy in his early 30's (Jack Simpson, played by Mick Malloy) who pays his yearly memebership at the local bowls club in order to get a few car park spaces for which he uses himself and rents out to others as cheap inner city parking.

The club falls on hard times, and pulls all the resources and memebers together it can, Jack gets a phone call telling him to turn up to next Saturday's bowls match or lose his membership (and conseqently his car park space)

I wont spoil the rest, but the film is funny, light hearted and contains everything a good aussie film should.

If your not Australian, then some of the jokes and humour will no doubt baffle you, if you are an Aussie - do yourself a favor and sit yourself down to Crackerjack.. Its now available on DVD, I already have my copy!

10/10.. Awesome flick!

God.. Where to do I start?

I used to Play D&D and AD&D as a younger soul, seeing the DVD cover in a bargain bin marked $9.95 AUD I thought hmm.. Risk it..

I shouldn't have, Whist I dont rubbish alot of films and I dont have high expectations of any film, at $9.95 even I felt ripped off by this waste of film... I'd feel insulted to let my cup of instant coffee rest on the D&D DVD as a coaster!

With acting from one of my favorite actors, Jeremy Irons making me wonder if he was a CGI generated model cause none of his excellent acting abilities were used in this production.

Scenes were colourful, The constant shrieking of Marlon Wayans irritated me so much that when his character died in the film, I felt releif - not remorse!

If movie houses put up money for stuff of this quality, and they can get actors like Jeremy Irons to perform in a movie as bad as this - maybe i should turn my hand to writing films.

I certainly couldn't create anything as piss poor as this.

0 out of 100 - I want my $9.95 back!

I just saw this screen recently on the Australian ABC TV network, it was split over two weeks and after the first half ended I was left longing to see the second part, it did not disappoint!

As a fan of the Men Behaving Badly series, I was interested in seeing Martin Clunes in this role, and he did an amazing performance - played perfectly as the caring and thoughtful as well as the deceiteful and calculating person he was trying to portray, always delivering a fantastic and well balanced mixture of all traits.

If your the type who feeds on fast moving drama's that always keep you guessing then this is one for you. It has everything I like in a British comedy/drama (Infact some parts captured almost a dark humour.)The british definately have the head start in this genre.

Absolutely loved it!

4 out of 5 stars..
