Attention All Scrubs Fans - Please Help

[renifer_erop]

Hey everyone,
I'm a fellow Scrubs fan (though I wasn't able to watch the last episode due to too much work :( ), have been since nearly the very beginning, and am currently writing a paper on it - more specifically, its fans, because the project's required to be an ethnographic one - for a media class I'm taking. The most effective way for me to gather data from as many different Scrubs fans as possible right now is to send out surveys to people on Scrubs messageboards online, so please please PLEASE help me out by sending me your answers to the following questions - I would REEEEEEEEALLY appreciate it. I'm not sure exactly what's going to go in the paper and what isn't, but I'll get that from the issues that I feel emerge from your responses. You can either post your responses directly on this thread; e-mail them to me at <<surveyanswers@stopdropandroll.com>>; or you can contact me at the e-mail address and if you wish, I can send it to you in either Notepad or Microsoft Word document form, and you can enter your responses in the file and send it back to me - whatever works best for you. I have a due date for handing in fieldwork notes and analysis, so I need these in absolutely as soon as possible, at the verrrry latest say 03:00 AM Greenwich Mean Time on Tuesday, April 9th, (10:00 PM Eastern Time U.S. on Monday, April 8th). Hopefully it shouldn't take TOO long to fill out. Thank you very much!

Hey everyone,
Thank you SO MUCH to those of you who have filled out my survey so far - I believe I have a grand total of 10 right now. However, I DESPERATELY need more, and I think I can pull off extending the initial deadline that I gave everyone to 10:00 P.M. GMT Tuesday, April 9th (that's 5:00 PM EST the same day for those in that American time zone). The thing is, I HAVE to turn in a 2-3 page analysis of my research so far on Wednesday, except I have no time to work on it Wednesday so it has to be done Tuesday night. So please please PLEASE as many of you as possible please fill out my survey - like I said, either on the board or through e-mail - and note the two questions I had to post in a reply to the first because they got cut off. My final paper isn't due until a couple of weeks later so even if you come across this after the deadline PLEASE keep the survey answers rolling in, but I would REALLY appreciate it if I could get a LOT of answers by the new deadline I've set. Thank you very much!

[renifer_erop]

Sorry - ignore the part about the questions being cut off.
