Her name is Lucy, not Judy. And, of course, the two ER series featured completely different characters (Clooney was only Doug Ross in the latter show), unlike Scrubs and Scrubs.
I think there's enough of a germ of goodness in the new Scrubs to make it work. I think the Lucy character will work much better when she's fleshed out and when she doesn't have to compete with J.D. for the narrator position. You'd have thought J.D. would have grown up a little bit more, though, in his year away from Sacred Heart. Hopefully that will be addressed in the remaining Braff episodes. James Franco's lil brother seems a little date-rapey to me, but let's hope there's more there. I like the interplay among Denise and Drew and Drew and Dr. Cox. Drew seems to be a younger Dr. Cox.
