There are many, many TV shows that can be thoroughly enjoyed at low enough volume levels so as not to disturb the She. Even the Simpsons, for a number of reasons, can be so enjoyed (as has just been proved), despite being unable to read cartoon lips.
Scrubs, however, completely fails to even slightly qualify as such a show.
Too much going on, unfamiliar terminology, artsy "back of the head" shots abound, and EVERYONE TALKS SO DARN FAST!
I suppose I could get out one of the TWO SEASONS we own on dvd (for the captioning), but that would require me getting up, walking the four feet to the dvd cabinet, which must then be opened, taking out the case, removing the dvd, opening the media stand door, turning on the dvd player, opening the tray, and placing the disc in the player. After that, I'd have to close everything opened just seconds before and walk the four-and-a-half feet (the pivot to the player from the dvd storage incorporates the extra distance) back to the sofa, get comfortable again, and re-find my place in my book.
All this after I've already put down my book, sat up, fired up the laptop, and spent five minutes making this observation? Cha! That's hecka work, yo. Just thinking about it makes me tired... I think I'll go make a snack.
