Going Back To TV

Filed under: TV News > Courteney Cox

The rumored Friends movie isn't happening, and her FX show, Dirt, has been cancelled.

Thankfully, for Courteney Cox, though, she's hoping to turn the Friends curse around.

The sitcom alum has just signed on to appear in several episodes of Scrubs this coming season, which will see the show on ABC and not its longtime home of NBC.

Cox is on board for three-episode arc as Sacred Heart’s new Chief of Medicine. Her character will "ruffle feathers."

Don't ruffle too much, though. You might jinx the show!

      It pisses me off that Dirt was cancelled. One of the most promising and best shows I've seen on Basic Cable for awhile. Hopefully, she'll create and produce some more hits!

      Scrubs is almost painfully unfunny. However, I don't see how she could jinx a show that's in it's last season… unless the jinx kept the show on the air another year or longer. Ugh.



    19. 19

      I love Scrubs!!! Yay, I think that she will be a good addition to the show (even if it is only for 3 episodes)
      I cannot wait for the next season.

      I agree with GAT- Scrubs is sooooo underrated!

      WOW Perez, I had no idea the guy was so fat. I just saw him on television for the first time, and my god, he's f*cking obese. And, it's really sloppy weight too, pretty disgusting. Makes it even funnier that he talks sh*t on all these people. This obese, disgusting f*ggot talking trash! ha. too much

      35

      Friends wasn't even good enough to deserve a "curse". Anybody who says the characters of a show are cursed is comparing that show to Seinfeld, and Friends will never be anywhere near Seinfeld in comic genius. I mean, the actors werent even comics, and they didn't write the show either. None of them deserve careers. Every movie that dude that played Ross was in was a total piece of crap and the box office stats prove it. And he was the only one that even got close to do anything good.

      Dirt was a great show, I can't believe it was cancelled. It started out like Nip/Tuck did and look where that show is now. FX blows for canceling the show. Douche bags.

      BRING DIRT BACK!

      She hit the wall last year and is getting hagged out. Hi def is not her friend. Perez popularity is waning. He needs another brittney like meltdown to vulture off of. Maybe cortney will start shooting skag.

    55. 55

      Actually, Dirt was an amaaaazing show.

      I was so disappointed when it got cancelled.

      As for Courtney.. I hope she proves everyone wrong and plays a great character on scrubs. Maybe then people will shut up.

      Worst actor on Friends. Why can't these people just sit back and collect their royalties. No one will ever again make the money they did in a TV series. I and everyone else should be so lucky. They have a perpetual lottery!

      Love her…. Iv never watched SCRUBS b/c I think its a nockoff of ER/GREYS … Im definitly gonna watch her on that show tho, they should give her a permanent spot if they want a hit show



    63. 63

      Well, praise the lord there'll be no Friends, or spinoffs thereof. The only better news would be to hear would be that there will never, ever be anything on television related to Beverly Hills 90210 or even remotely similar.

      This is not the last season of Scrubs. Look THAT up. Last season was the last one but, it got picked up by ABC and they are going to keep it going. I hate when idiots try to talk and have no idea what's going on. You people shouldn't be allowed keyboards.
      I agree Scrubs is highly underrated but anything that has people talking about it is a step in the right direction. Even if it is Courtney Cox :-)

      Why did the picture of Courtney Cox change to this one where she looks, well, her age? The other picture was great….

      ANyway, I loved Dirt and seeing her as a bitch was awesome. I will miss that show and thought the endind of the shortened second season left a lot to be desired - LIKE A THIRD SEASON!!!!!

      I love Scrubs. I'm excited about next season. I liked Friends too, but I'm totally infatuated with Scrubs. Oh, and Dirt totally sucked so good riddance. Good luck, Courtney, i hope your character on Scrubs will be at least as funny as Monica. Looking forward to the new season.

      77

      Eh, "Scrubs" has jumped the shark…just like "Friends" did like two seasons before it finally went off the air. But I wonder, how can she have a GUEST ROLE as the new chief of medicine? Dr. Kelso was a prominent character on the show, yet she's only gonna be on for like a few episodes? How dumb.

      Wow this is fantastic news! I for one am a huge Courteney fan and can't wait to see her on Scrubs.
      I was gutted Dirt was cancelled as it was a very promising show but hopefully Courteney will again wow us with her acting skills.
      I think Courteney is a very good hard-actress eg Lucy Spiller, Gale Weathers and so this role could be perfect for her.
      And all haters who say she can't act - if that's the case then why was she asked? She is an amazing actress and i wish her well.
      Perez - you appeared on Dirt duh-uh?

      She's just too damn old, she should just retire and enjoy the money she made with friends. Same with Jennifer Aniston, they're over 40 now and nobody wants to see them anymore.

      Poor Court, gotta suck to come back as a supporting character and not the star. She must really need the job, she does have a family to feed. God knows that worthless husband of hers has never turned a tab.

      You had a nice picture of her up yesterday, why do you change it to a skank one?



    92. 92

      Re: luna

      Jen thinks she is too good for TV. After Brad left her she is getting nowhere in the movie industry. At least Cox knows her place is in TV. She is also a MOTHER, balancing home and family. Cox is more beautiful so she never had to ice her nipples like Aniston who paraded hers every week. What a low class. I'd say Cox > Aniston in all aspects.

      DIRT was BRILLIANT! I absolutely loved it!!! I can't believe FX was so short-sighted and cancelled it. The problem with that show was that it didn't receive enough press. If it had, and people tuned in, they would have been as hooked on DIRT as I was. And let me just say that Ms. Cox was FANTASTIC in her role as Lucy Spiller. Oh well. Looks like the suits missed the boat again.
