LOS ANGELES, Nov. 21 (UPI) -- The U.S. television comedy series "Scrubs" is scheduled to move from NBC to ABC for its eighth season.

The offbeat, medical sit-com will debut on its new network Jan. 6, ABC said Friday. Courteney Cox is scheduled to be a guest star in the first two episodes of the upcoming season.

Beginning Monday, select episodes from the past seven seasons of "Scrubs" will be available online at www.abc.com in the site's full episode player.

Four different episodes will be available each week leading up to the series debut on ABC, including the show's pilot, last season's finale and special episodes with guest stars Michael J. Fox, Heather Locklear, Heather Graham, Matthew Perry, Keri Russell and Elizabeth Banks.

ABC.com has also established an "Ask Scrubs" feature that allows fans to upload questions to be answered by the series' cast and creator, the network said.

The show stars Zach Braff, Donald Faison, Judy Reyes, Sarah Chalke, Ken Jenkins, Neil Flynn and John C. McGinley.
