Last season’s “Scrubs” featured a similar scene, in which Dr. Turk was operating on a baby in utero, but “Scrubs” has long been one of the networks’ fairest political shows. The series boasts the rare achievement of having produced a simultaneously funny and totally unoffensive treatment of the Iraq war in a 30-minute comedy form. A challenge and a treat. Don’t miss this consistently fair comedy in its last season.

The Ghost Whisperer (CBS Fridays 8): I don’t often watch “The Ghost Whisperer,” but I’ve always thought Jennifer Love Hewitt seemed like a sensible young actress, and I may be adding the show to my regular list now. I have it on good authority that the show was a sensitive tribute to the troops last week:

Tonite, I watched a special episode of Ghost Whisperer titled "Haunted Hero".

It was a dramatic, touching, sad, moving, authentic, honorable, elegant, dignified, uplifting beautiful, emotional, and evocative tribute to our troops.

Mark Tyler Jacob plays Matt, a soldier who, after serving in Iraq, returns to Grandview with a medal in hand and to a heroes welcome, but who is haunted by noisy nightmares and deeply troubled by suppressed and confusing memories of the night he lost his men.

Those memories come to life for Melinda, a Ghost Whisperer, who finds herself experiencing that same fatal battle over and over.

The show also cast several vets back from Iraq and Afghanistan in the episode to lend authenticity and help check facts.

Back to You (FOX Wednesdays 8/7c): This sitcom, starring two of Hollywood’s most prominent conservatives, represents a sort of full-employment program for Tinsel Town right-wingers. Kelsey Grammar and Patricia Heaton play local news co-anchors in a throw-back, multi-camera sitcom filmed in front of a live studio audience. The format and concept are so traditional, the show is almost a joke within a joke—an ironic commentary on the lost sitcom format. The show is clever at times, but has yet to come into its own. Luckily, the pedigree is so good and the actors so talented, I’m counting on it to become a favorite.

Happy viewing, folks! Write me back with recommendations of your own, and I’ll update on the Townhall blog.
