ABC already airs Cougar Town and Modern Family - but the network is about to get even funnier.

On December 1, the revamped version of Scrubs will premiere its ninth season with back-to-back original episodes.

The sitcom will focus on John C. McGinley and Donald Faison's doctors this year, while shifting its setting from a hospital to a medical school.

A week later, Better Off Ted will return to ABC, pairing with Scrubs to form one of the most laugh-filled hours on television.
