The list of songs from '99 takes me back!!
I wish Mean Girls would become a musical, too!
I knew Scrubs would be on the tv shows that should have quit list, but I can never agree because I love that show, always and forever!
I haven't actually made it to the end of Scrubs, I will one of these days!
