true that on the sitcom meaning hehe. A lot of folks have been trying to get me to watch The Big Bang Theory because of the geekery and Trek references but because of the typical sitcom-ness, I can't sit and watch it for long. I, too, have to pay more attention to it if I'm unfamiliar with the current episode. I still get people going WAH! when I say I don't watch it, as if it is some sort of blasphemy.
I've been meaning to get into M*A*S*H, I have a friend who loved the show and he's amused I work just around the corner from where the mountains are that the helicopter flies over in the beginning title sequence. I think of Scrubs in a way is like a dramady - it takes on serious subjects but has pithy dialogue that makes you laugh out loud without the need of the laughtrack to tell you it is an ok point to laugh (though, they do at times have the snappy music cue it if they cut scenes). Another good one is the musical episode (Part 1 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iBZx1NRaqmM) and Part 2 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=weqod8h5SWI) of the songs).
