After seven seasons on NBC, comedy "Scrubs" makes its debut on ABC television on Monday--sort of. Episodes of previous seasons will be available on ABC.com in advance of new versions debuting on the network in January.

NBC declined to bring the show back for another season, so ABC--whose related studio produces it--picked it up. Back-to-back half-hour originals premiere in the 9 p.m. hour on Tuesday, Jan. 6.

Four episodes from the NBC run will be available each week on ABC.com through January. When the show launches on the network, episodes will be available the day after they air on the Web.
