John C. McGinley Fighting Fires on Back

As if the nail wasn't pounded into the coffin enough, yet another Scrubs star has left to try out a new pilot.  This time, it's John C. McGinley leaving his scrubs behind to fight some fires on ABC's new pilot Back.

Back centers on Richard (Skeet Ulrich), a man who returns home to discover he was reported missing eight years earlier after September 11.  Now, his former wife (Sherry Stringfield) has re-married a firefighter named Tom (John C. McGinley).

Sounds a lot more serious than the role of Dr. Cox on Scrubs.
