Courtney Cox was surprisingly great, JD was not only tolerable, but slightly likable again. And the touchy-feely intern was hilarious.

The second episode, however, "My Last Words", was the kind of entertainment that Scrubs excels at over every other comedy (besides perhaps The Office) - goofy comedy rooted in sincerely moving gravitas. Watching Turk and J.D. comfort the dying patient George over the length of the episode was surprisingly moving, even for Scrubs which has been known to pull this kind of tender emotion out of nowhere now and then. Also, I don't know how these things get started but can we please keep the actor who played George (IMDb tells me it was Glynn Turman) on our short-list for Guest Actor consideration at the Emmys. His work was some of the best I've seen, Guest or Lead, all year. Anyone else?
