1.- voice-over introduces episode's thematic topic ("in a hospital you depend on your coworkers" / "in New York we like men and shoes")- scenes establish each character's activities
2.- conflicts arise in each storyline- voice-over points out thematic questions uniting them all ("sometimes you realize your friends aren't there for you ... or your relationship isn't as strong as you thought" / "I couldn't help but wonder ... were men the new shoes?")
3.- conflicts resolve- voice-over unites all resolutions under one banner ("maybe the person you least expect is looking out for you ... or maybe you realize your girlfriend cares about you more than you thought" / "but it was summer in New York, and I had some fabulous shoes")
-- which, as above, is lame, but if you're the sort of person who can enjoy watching a Sex and the City episode and betting on whether Carrie will say "I couldn't help but wonder," "I had to ask," or "OTHER," then you can probably forgive the rigid blocks in there and just wait for Donald Faison to be awesome again.

("Well, why do you watch it," You ask? I try not to, but sometimes we have to put friendship above taste in TV. However, I do reserve the right groan and grimace when it's on.)

Also I wanted to point out that Turk is kind of the best-developed black character I know of on network television! Or at least he's not slotted into a black-character "type" or just totally racially ignored. He's a recognizable type of person who is just about never protrayed on television or in film, which I totally appreciate.
(Also I remembered the root-level parallel with That 70s Show, which is that the humor always comes back to every character being lame or geeky, as opposed to the old sitcom model where characters are blowhards or straight-men or toughs or whatever -- this is part of why it can read as too precious or cutesy sometimes, sure, but I think mostly it comes off actually lovable.)

But but... he's such a witty asshole! He's the only reason I LIKE the show, most of the time. You don't like House, either... I'm sensing a trend. You don't like characters who are big fat jerks. I, on the other hand, love them. I wonder what that means. Hmmm.

wiki says
Braff dated Bonnie Somerville around the same time he worked on Garden State. He specifically requested a song from her for the film's soundtrack. Braff started dating pop singer and actress Mandy Moore in the summer of 2004. One of their first public sightings as a couple was when they arrived together at a fundraising event for the Democratic Party prior to the November 2004 election. In early 2006, unnamed sources told In Touch Weekly magazine that the couple were engaged.[17] Braff called this a "total Internet rumor." Moore's representative denied the engagement.[18] Mandy Moore's song "Looking Forward to Looking Back" is rumored to be about Braff. In response to tabloids now linking him to singer Jessica Simpson, he joked: "I wish I was leading a fraction of the life that the tabloids have me leading!"[1] In June 2007, he began dating actress Shiri Appleby.
