The return of 'Scrubs' to ABC is a Tuesday TV pick

'Scrubs'

Think of it as "Scrubs 2.0." The new season of the surprisingly long-running medical sitcom returns with back-to-back episodes, new characters, returning characters and (hopefully) a whole lot of laughs. 9 p.m. Dec. 1, ABC (seattletimes.com/tvlistings).
