Yes, Scrubs is sadly leaving the air on May 6.

But at least executive producer Bill Lawrence is taking his comedic genius to another sitcom.

Lawrence and his team will be the driving forces behind Cougar Town, which stars Courtney Cox and - as reported by Korbi Ghosh of Zap2It - former Dawson's Creek actress Busy Philipps.

According to Ghosh, Philipps will play Laurie, best friend to Cox's character of Julia.
