ABC has finally announced the premiere date for SCRUBS. Season 8 of Scrubs will premiere on January 6, 2009, at 9pm with back to back episodes.

The first two episodes entitlted “My Jerks” and “My Last Words” respectively will guest star Courteney Cox.

I will admit, I am curious to see if changing network will result in a different feel for the show, or if Scrubs will be back as if nothing changed.

Synopsis: “My Jerks” – Dr. Kelso’s beautiful but unethical replacement, Dr. Maddox (played by guest star Courteney Cox), shakes things up at Sacred Heart, while J.D. struggles to manage a new crop of incompetent interns and Carla helps Elliott put her ego in check.

“My Last Words” – J.D. and Turk set aside their decade-long steak night tradition to comfort a dying patient, while Dr. Maddox (guest starring Courteney Cox) begins to show her true colors.

I honestly cant wait for this! The promo looks great! :D

“Scrubs” returns with fresh episodes next January, and ET has new details about guest star Courteney Cox‘s shady character on the quirky medical comedy!

Courteney will play a beautiful but unethical doctor who could prove troublesome to J.D. (Zach Braff) and the rest of the gang at Sacred Heart Hospital. Also on the premiere episode, J.D. struggles to keep a new crop of bumbling interns in line, and Carla (Judy Reyes) helps Elliott (Sarah Chalke) keep her ego in check!

“Friends” star Courteney Cox has joined forces with “Scrubs” creator Bill Lawrence to concoct a new half-hour comedy for ABC.

“Cougar Town,” which reps Cox’s return to the sitcom world, has been picked up to pilot by the Alphabet net. ABC Studios is behind the single-camera half-hour.

Lawrence and Cox will exec produce “Cougar Town,” which stars Cox as a newly single 40-year-old mom. Lawrence is writing the pilot alongside “Scrubs” scribe Kevin Biegel.

Both Lawrence (through his Doozer banner) and Cox (through her Coquette shingle) are in the midst of development deals at ABC Studios.

“Cougar Town” would be Cox’s first series since FX’s “Dirt,” which she starred in and exec produced. ABC Studios was also behind that show.

More recently, Cox shot a guest appearance on “Scrubs” — which served as a reunion of sorts for the star and scribe. Lawrence was a season one writer on “Friends” before moving on to co-create “Spin City.”

Lawrence is finishing up post-production on the eighth season of “Scrubs,” which moves to ABC this year.

“Cougar Town” comes as the idea of the “cougar” — a middle-aged woman who pursues younger men — continues to resonate through pop culture. TV Land, for example, has Mike Fleiss reality show “The Cougar” in the works.
