13 Episodes 2009 - 2010
The ninth and final season signals a major departure for the show. J.D. (Zach Braff), Turk (Donald Faison) and Dr. Cox (John C. McGinley) move to a teaching hospital and share their wisdom with a batch of new interns: the painfully blunt Denise (Eliza Coupe); Lucy (Kerry Bishé), who takes over narrating duties from J.D.; med-school burnout Drew (Michael Mosley); and rich kid Cole (Dave Franco). Though the show's focus shifted to the new interns in Season 9, all members of the original cast made appearances with the exception of Judy Reyes.
