Scrubs Season Nine Poster, Episode Pics

Forget Hanukah, Christmas or New Year's Eve.

The most exciting event in Decemer takes place on the first of the month. That's when Scrubs returns for its ninth season. Watch a clip from the premiere NOW.

When the new season kicks off, many changes will be afoot: J.D. only appears in six episodes; and Cox and Turk are in charge of a set of medical school students.

There's also another surprise for viewers, one they'll catch as soon as Elliot appears on screen. Wait until December 1 to be shocked, or click on the season premiere photos of J.D. and Elliot below for a sneak peek.
