ABC has locked in return dates for comedies "Scrubs" and "Better Off Ted."
"Scrubs" will begin its new season Tuesday, Dec. 1, with back-to-back episodes from 9-10 p.m. It fills the gap left by "Dancing With the Stars," which ends its cycle in November.
On Dec. 8, "Scrubs" will settle into its regular 9 p.m. timeslot, with the critical fave "Better Off Ted" following at 9:30 p.m.
