‘Scrubs’
Wednesdays, 7 p.m., ABC
After being tossed around, the former NBC show “Scrubs” is now in its eighth (and perhaps last) season on ABC.
This may be lead actor Zach Braff’s last year on “Scrubs,” but just like past seasons, Braff’s character, J.D., daydreams and finds himself in some hilarious situations as a doctor at fictional Sacred Heart Hospital.
Even though the show has changed networks, this season is turning into one of the best because of guest stars such as Courteney Cox Arquette, who plays the show’s chief of medicine. The show may also get better as it heads toward its May 6 season finale. For instance, the janitor’s real name may even be revealed during the finale.
Even though Braff might be gone next season, the show might still continue. I believe that anyone who loves jokes that are not too racy will find “Scrubs” to be a good dose of TV medicine.

‘Hannah Montana: The Movie Soundtrack’
various artists
“Hannah Montana: The Movie Soundtrack” features Taylor Swift, Rascal Flatts and Billy Ray Cyrus. Boasting a bit of country twang, the CD has an easy flow and a light tone.
“The Climb,” which Miley Cyrus performed at the Kids’ Inaugural: We Are the Future concert, appears on the album. The song motivates young people to realize that every step in life is important. Additionally, I found that Cyrus’ voice sounded especially sweet in “Butterfly Fly Away,” a song in which her father, Billy Ray Cyrus, lends his vocals. In contrast, the beat in “Spotlight” is edgier, more rock ‘n’ roll.
Meanwhile, Steve Rushton, who sings two songs, reminds me of a Jason Mraz-meets-Green Day type, while Swift’s “Crazier,” displays her typical style and adds a nice, catchy tune to the compilation.

‘Ain’t No Rest for the Wicked’
Cage the Elephant
Cage the Elephant is a band from Kentucky that released its debut album last year. The band of two brothers and three friends have created a funk/rock sound.
Their video, “Ain’t No Rest for the Wicked,” looks like it was taped as an old-fashioned film.
The video opens with vocalist Matt Schultz picking himself up from the ground and looking disoriented. He’s surrounded by what seems to be debris from an explosion or a car crash. Schultz walks along a desert road, running into strange people along the way.
However, the video is humorous because he keeps seeing the same images and does not notice.
The video ends with Schultz on the same floor he rose from at the video’s start.
The video goes perfectly with the song — it’s entertaining and one-of-a- kind.
