'Scrubs'(9PM and 9:30PM, ABC)
Tonight's episode is brought to you by the letter 'C,' as J.D. employs the help of some friendly neighborhood Muppets to try to teach his interns how to be compassionate with their patients.
Unfortunately, as sweet and furry as guest stars Elmo, Grover and trash can-dwellin' Oscar may be, it's not easy getting through to J.D.'s knuckleheads.
And, in the 9:30 episode, we may finally see a development that we've been expecting since the series first hit the airwaves on that other network: Dr. Cox considers taking on Dr. Kelso's old job as Sacred Heart Chief of Medicine.
