The glory days of NBC’s Thursday night lineup are now far enough in the past that the shows that replaced their ratings titans are themselves getting long in the tooth. Last night marked the premiere of the truncated final season of Scrubs, which saw Elliott biting the bullet and breaking off her engagement to Keith. J.D. is trying to be a good sport for the sake of his future kid, and Turk has a hard choice about which candy bar he should eat. [Snark Raving Mad]

Elsewhere:

Survivor: China:

Todd used a new clue to figure out where the hidden immunity idol is, and gave it to James, figuring he’d need it to save himself if James’s Zhan Hu tribe decided to throw another immunity challenge. But they don’t throw it and actually win, meaning Todd gave away his idol away for no reason at all. Sherea was voted off in the last show before the tribes merge. [My Favorite Occupation]

The Office:

Michael dismisses the professionals sent to direct a Dunder-Mifflin commercial, insisting all the work could be done in-house. Real-life guitarist Creed wielded a mighty air guitar. Dwight became obsessed with Second Life, and continues to obsess about Andy’s “necking” with Angela. [Cashew Dani]

Ugly Betty:

Marc appears to be in an actual relationship, and with a guy who doesn’t have model looks. A single Betty entered the world of Internet dating. Justin’s unconvincing walk on the wild side continues.

My Name is Earl:

The prisoners got conjugal visits: Frank was visited by a former partner in crime, Billie (played by Alyssa Milano) the sort of woman for whom conjugal visits were invented. Randy seems confused by the point of Sudoku. [Smarmy Carny]

Grey’s Anatomy:

Alex and Ava have sex in the hospital, as if hospital visits aren’t nerve-wracking enough without having to worry about who was in that bed before you. Callie told everyone that George and Izzie are doin’ it. Meredith brought her mom’s ashes to work (that’s even worse than the sex). And there was the second Brooke Smith reference of the week: she’s now part of the main cast. [wtl fan]
