Scrubs
9/8c ABC
J.D. returns to Sacred Heart to take a med-school teaching gig as the retooled sitcom kicks off its ninth season. Instead of focusing on life in the hospital, the show now follows J.D., Turk, Cox, Kelso and intern Denise as they work with a new batch of wannabe doctors. Three fresh faces — Kerry Bishe, Michael Mosley and Dave Franco — have joined the cast as the core group of young students. Another episode follows at 9:30/8:30c.
Read on for previews of Britain's Missing Top Model, Victoria's Secret Fashion Show and Sons of Anarchy.

As we head into the final days of the year, we've begun reflecting on the past year of television with one question in mind: Which show was your favorite in 2009?
Were you happily bewildered by Lost's time-tripping fifth season? Did comedies such as How I Met Your Mother and The Office make you laugh harder than ever? Did new series like NCIS: Los Angeles and The Vampire Diaries earn a spot in your weekly TV lineup? Did cable dramas like Sons of Anarchy and Dexter keep you riveted?
As you think back on these and many other worthy shows (Battlestar Galactica already seems so far away), we want to know: What is your favorite TV show of 2009?

Got any scoop on Abby from NCIS? — Lyn
ADAM: How would you like to meet Abby's best friend? Well, you'll get to in this season's Christmas episode...
