Scrubs  (Season Premiere Tuesday, January 6, 2009, 9:00 p.m. and 9:30 p.m., ET)

The long-running, hit comedy "Scrubs" moves to the ABC Television Network for its eighth season. Irreverent and decidedly offbeat, the series received two consecutive Emmy nominations for Outstanding Comedy Series in 2005 and 2006, and was most recently named TV.com's "Best of 2007" in Comedy.

In its debut year, "Scrubs" was nominated for two Emmy Awards and a People's Choice Award. It has received a total of 10 Emmy nominations, and in 2005 it won the Emmy for Outstanding Multi-Camera Picture Editing. In 2004 the series was honored with a prestigious Humanitas Prize. Beginning that same year, it received three consecutive Producers Guild Award nominations, from 2004-2006.

"Scrubs" focuses on the strange experiences of Dr. John Dorian, or "J.D." (Zach Braff, "Last Kiss," "Garden State"), a medical attending, as he continues on his healing career in a surreal hospital crammed full of unpredictable staffers and patients -- where humor and tragedy can collide at any time.

Joining the rumpled J.D. at Sacred Heart Hospital are fellow attendings Chris Turk (Donald Faison, "Remember the Titans," "Felicity") -- J.D.'s college buddy who is part of the elite surgical group -- and the beautiful but socially awkward Elliot Reid (Sarah Chalke, "Roseanne").

Former chief of medicine Dr. Bob Kelso (Ken Jenkins, "Courage Under Fire") has taken up residence at the hospital coffee shop, where he can keep a watchful eye on the attendings and Turk's wife and no-nonsense head nurse, Carla Espinosa (Judy Reyes, "Oz"). Meanwhile, the caring Dr. Perry Cox (John C. McGinley, "Wall Street," "Platoon") struggles with an identity crisis as he reevaluates his career, and the hospital janitor (Neil Flynn, "Magnolia") -- J.D.'s nemesis -- never seems to miss an opportunity to harass his target.

"Scrubs" is produced by ABC Studios. Bill Lawrence ("Spin City") is the executive producer and creator.
