Scrubs

(9 p.m. Tuesday on ABC) - After more than nine months and a channel switch, everyone's favorite medical-themed comedy is back. So far, this season has been great, featuring a new supporting cast (including a stint by former Friend Courteney Cox) and darker storylines that are a return to the show's early days. And besides, as always, it is much more believable account of life inside a hospital than the dreadful Grey's Anatomy.

Baby Name Wizard

Ever feel like there are too many people that share your name? Babynamewizard.com's Name Voyager could help explain why. It tracks baby-naming trends in the United States back to the 1800s. Just type in your name to see when it was hot and when it was not. Take me for example: Too many girls are named Jessica. Jessica Alba, Jessica Biel, Jessica Simpson, even Sarah Jessica Parker managed to nab my name. Well guess what? Jessica was the No. 1 name during the 1980s and I was born in 1988.

Chip tha Ripper

I'm from Pittsburgh, so most things from Cleveland make me cringe. But when my friends told me about Cleveland-area mixtape rapper Chip tha Ripper, I couldn't help but keep listening to the infectious beats. He also manages to make lyrics about booze, girls and cars sound inventive with unbeatable humor (When I ride through my city / People say

'Look at fat P. Diddy') and a contagious swagger. Chip will perform live at 19 South tomorrow night, and I'll be putting my grudge against Cleveland aside to see it all go down.

Drunk History

Revisit the gripping duel between Alexander Hamilton and Aaron Burr, discover electricity with Benjamin Franklin or join runaway slave Oney Judge in her escape from President Washington all from the comfort of your computer. Search Drunk History on YouTube to see an inebriated college student explain history and some big names - like Jack Black - perform it. Now the past has truly come to life.
