Shouldn't we note J.D's habit of daydreaming, and how it often spreads out onto reality (i.e daydreaming of Neena kicking men in the balls to a dance number then informing her that "I'm wearing a cup!" or daydreaming about doing the "re-run dance" at a stag-night and actually doing it)? I'm not suggesting we list them all, but it is of note I reckon. Crimson Shadow 14:07, 25 May 2006 (UTC)
well that's the humor of it all isn't it. his daydreams were never supposed to come true but do. come to think of it his daydreams are a huge part of the show's uniqueness! i loved it when colin farrel was on and JD daydreamed about an "irish brother" :p but thats besides the point. or howabout the kung fu fighting "betrayal five" courtesy of todd?? but that was really turk. it's certainly an idea, but needs someone with a much better memory of J.D.'s daydreams than i :) or perhaps a heckuva lotta "research" :P ahwang 06:05, 26 May 2006 (UTC)
WHYYY delete "He also has a curious tendency to wear a "riding sock" down his pants whether he is riding a car, scooter, or a bicycle. "???? its as related as his hairmet right?? its interesting to know!! ahwang 11:06, 28 May 2006 (UTC)
A) It was relevant in episode 1 of Season 5. B) It's useless knowledge, and incredibly trivial. C) I'm fairly certain it only came up in that episode, and never came up before or after, whereas the Hairmet showed up more than once. D) Please learn English, if you plan on using the English Wikipedia. There is a "Simple English" wiki if you feel that might be easier. 21:59 EST, 12/30/2006. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 64.134.180.206 ( talk • contribs) 03:00, 31 December 2006.
We should mention his daydreams and also his narrations and thoughts. A section listing a few memorable ones might be good, but we would have to discuss which ones are noteworthy. Here's a few I would mention.
Kung Fu fighting, My Day at the Races
Sean/diet soda, My Lucky Night
99 Luftballoons, My Interpretation
Turk/Gospel church, My Own Personal Jesus
Irish Brother, My Lucky Charm
Randall/locker, My Rule of Thumb
Turkiott, My Jiggly Ball
Todd/old lady wrestling, My New Old Friend
p.s. Sorry for the Newbie question, but how do I add responses to the appropriate part of a diccussion page, going under the established title of that conversation? EJB341, 24th August.
lets not forget "floating head doctor" —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.48.220.23 ( talk) 22:39, 17 September 2007 (UTC)
Someone has taken off all the nicknames for J.D, this means we have the unfortunate task of finding them again and listing them in their appropriate seasons. Please list the girls names in the seasons and add addtionail nicknames e.g Bambi, vanilla bear, seperatly.
Yeah damnit, put the nicknames back on. They're relevent to the show and to J.D. -Tony
How are they not? Every other charcter has their nicknames and J.D doesn't? We should put them on the J.D page.
How is it unencyclopedic? It is relevant to the show. The characters having many nicknames is a feature of Scrubs and each of the characters have certain nicknames from certain characters, which shows how the characters interact with each other. Scrubs fans on Scrubs message boards sometimes bring up topics about the girl's names Cox has used for JD, so that in particular is useful. Is there any way to get the nicknames back (for all the character articles, not just this one) without having to find them all again? If not, whoever did this has ruined a lot of work and forced us to start at square one. EJB341 18:02, 13 December 2006 (UTC)
So it doesn't matter what fans on a forum think, yet it matters what <bold>you</bold> think? Call me ignorant, but I think that's rather rude and wrong. I personally think that a list of JD's nicknames IS relevant to his character descriptions, in an encyclopedic fashion. So far, there's at least two people's opinions that outweight your one. Because that's what your statements are. Opinions. Just like I'm under the opinion that Dragonball Z is not a good anime in any sense (artistic ability, voice acting on either japanese or english, storylines, or character ideas), to use something familiar to you as an example, but other people might disagree with me. You don't see me going onto the Goku article and deleting the information on his different super power levels saying that "They're just there to take up space, so what if a bunch of people talk about them? It's not encyclopedic information." But hey, I'm just a Goon who likes Scrubs, and dislikes 12-year olds acting all mature and stuff. Me. 22:15 EST, 30 December 2006
to answer your question it is possible to recover the list of names as they are held in the pages history, I have to agree with the other contributors - I think the list on nicknames is relevant to the article. Suit, could you tell us which of wikipedias policies having the list contravenes? Georgeryall 23:20, 20 January 2007 (UTC)
Would it not make more sense to take the names from the history of this page, rather than to take them from the portugese, also wouldnt it look better not to have the portugese reference there? Georgeryall 14:16, 14 February 2007 (UTC)
Can we include his fear of hot air balloons, since the only time I remember hearing about it was during the sitcom-sequence from My Life in Four Cameras? It seems unclear that you can use those sequences as reality given the random changes that occur in them. Staxringold talk contribs 20:07, 26 November 2006 (UTC)
I suggest we move the page to J.D. (Scrubs) or something like that since he's usually called J.D. anyway-- SUIT 22:06, 29 December 2006 (UTC)
Turk states that JD has "this wierd things with pennies" while talking to Dr. Elliot —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.166.72.132 ( talk) 04:23, 24 June 2008 (UTC)
It says under the Rowdy section that "Rowdy was a dog, owned by J.D., who apparently died before the beginning of the series." This makes it sound as though J.D. owned Rowdy while he was alive, while in fact it is pointed out in one of the episodes that J.D. did not have a prior connection with him and that he bought him at a garage sale. I don't recall which episode it was in though so I might be wrong. I'll try to find it.
Spoiler end tag would be GREAT on this page, as right now, I can't read a thing! Also, I wont check back here because I don't want it spoiled, but does JD have some kind of mental illness? I mean his daydreams and talking to himself. It would be an interesting twist and make SO much sense JayKeaton 14:46, 14 February 2007 (UTC)
I just watched episode 424 "My Changing Ways". At the very end of the episode, JD introduces himself as "Johnathan" to his neighbor who fell through the ceiling. So his name should be Dr. Johnathan "J.D." Dorian — The preceding unsigned comment was added by 70.20.220.60 ( talk) 03:21, 8 April 2007 (UTC).
I've seen that episode too, and it's the only time I can think of that the name 'Jonathan' is used. It contradicts every other instance in which his full name is spoken, as well as the official website. Given the context, I think we can safely assume that he's joking. 24.44.137.19 05:01, 18 June 2007 (UTC)
I see notations for two other episodes. I can immediately remember the episode "My Fifteen Minutes." When speaking to the board, Dr. Cox refers to him as 'John Dorian.' Add to that that NBC, ABC, and IMDb use 'John,' I think it's safe to assume that his first name is John, and that 'Jonathan' is used facetiously. 24.44.137.19 05:09, 18 June 2007 (UTC)
Im the episode where J.D. did not know the janitor's name, the janitor shamed him by calling him "John Michael Dorian." It was obvious from J.D.'s chagrin that the janitor was EXACTLY correct. Bustter 20:52, 13 August 2007 (UTC)
John is not short for Jonathon - see the bottom of this page - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_(given_name). They are two seperate names. Also he mmay refer to himself as Jonathon if he thinks its funny - I once knew a man whose name was Kym, and he quite oftened introduced himself as Kymothy - both for laughs and to sound a bit more posh, I suppose. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.35.82.133 ( talk) 22:44, 15 May 2010 (UTC)
The entire article is unreferenced. "The program itself is a reference" - ok, give episodes. It's what was done on the Janitor page. mattbuck 23:49, 9 May 2007 (UTC)
I may have found a reference to an unmade film with the same name on the Béla Lugosi page under the decline section, third paragraph. It was going to be made by Edward D. Wood, Jr., but there is no mention of it on that page. Some of the footage that was taking might have been used in Plan 9 from Outer Space. Xannon 18:05, 19 June 2007 (UTC)
I would guess that it is more likely a reference to Forrest J Ackerman, who often referred to himself as "Dr. Acula" in the pages of his kiddie magazine, Famous Monsters of Filmland. This name received much wider exposure through Forry than anywhere else. Check Dr._Acula for a few likely references, but I wouldn't select a single source without a cite.

"played by John Ritter who died a few months before the episode was made" Bustter 22:28, 21 July 2007 (UTC)
check the article history to just before/after my above post. It's been revised to indicate that the Ritter character's death was a "tribute" to Ritter's death, an assertion that needs a source. Bustter 21:11, 28 July 2007 (UTC)
Check the history..."a few months before the episode was made" was changed to "a few months before the episode was aired" shortly after my initial post. The quote was verbatim from the article as it stood on the date of my post.21:54, 28 July 2007 (UTC)
The entire first paragraph of that section consists entirely on event that occurred in one particular episode then were never referenced again. This section should be trimmed down to only events that occur repeatedly throughout the series. - SigmaEpsilon → Σ Ε 03:59, 1 August 2007 (UTC)
The article does need cleanup. However, there is no justification for slashing large sections down to a few sentences. It would be better to discuss first, then edit. -- Ckatz chat spy 17:53, 15 August 2007 (UTC)
do you even listen to yourself? people shouldn't have to go to other wiki's, they don't have to go to other wiki's. They come here. and as for, "eventually merged", thats not how wikipedia works at all, an article grows untill it becomes too big and is split into smaller articles, not the other way around, thats just stupid.--

Anyone still here? This needs to be cut down, and you cannot realistically have a consensus to keep an article in a crappy state, so you can either try to help format the article or whine about it afterwards. TTN 11:28, 19 August 2007 (UTC)

EPISODE 6.02, "My Best Friend's Baby's Baby and My Baby's Baby" 02:17, 26 August 2007 (UTC) http://scrubs.mopnt.com/scripts/602.php J.D.: Laverne? Is this your Jesus?02:21, 26 August 2007 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Bustter ( talk • contribs) 02:17, August 26, 2007 (UTC)
This description was recently added... I was going to remove it, but Jac16888 beat me to it. I don't think it fits here for several reasons. Firstly, the text would need a citation from a reliable source, not a blog or forum. Secondly, and most importantly, from what I can find, the term appears to refer to a close, non-romantic relationship between a heterosexual man and a homosexual man, not between two heterosexual males. As such, it wouldn't apply to J.D. and Turk. Thoughts? -- Ckatz chat spy 21:48, 10 September 2007 (UTC)
Hmm...I deleted the character profile section dealing with a description of J.D.'s balls. sound fair? 9/16/07 ksagar
"acts strangely around pennies (possibly due to an event in the pilot episode that makes the Janitor dislike him.)"
I'm pretty sure he acts weird around pennies because he has appendicitis. I don't have any specific reference, but in the episode, I believe JD was in the hospital as a patient and he didn't want Turk to operate on him, but he ended up operating on JD anyway because of complications and him being the only doctor on call. Some dialogue I remember: JD "Did you stitch your initials into me?", JD "If I ever need surgery again, I want you (Turk) to be inside me." and Turk says, "I want to be the one inside you."
Hopefully that's enough to pin it down for a correction. 208.117.81.202 01:37, 30 September 2007 (UTC)
This article is in dire need of a clean up. While it is debatable on what should stay and go, I think Transportation should be completely taken out, while the Romantic Relationships section heavily condensed.
Let's be honest: Most of JD's girlfriends aren't all that unique. Alex's section is how I think they should be handled, 2-3 sentences of the history of the relationship, and the actress who plays her. I'll take this up sometime this weekend, but I'm open to suggestions on how to go about this. 134.68.177.150 22:33, 8 November 2007 (UTC)
I edited the "Relationships" section (Romantic interests, to be precise) and forgot to log in and another user reverted it as vandalism. It was nothing of the sort, just trimming down the Romantic Interests section of a few sentences, whereas I believe it should be trimmed down much more but I didn't have enough time yesterday. I'm going to revert the edit, as it certainly wasn't vandalism, and I've put this page on Watch so I can be reached here or my individual talk page. Hopefully we can come to a compromise. Notthegoatseguy 15:44, 11 November 2007 (UTC)
a brief mention in J.D's article would be fine but she needs a more detailed entry in elliotts and Dr Cox for sure, and to a lesser extent in Turk and Carla's after helping with their relationship. Skitzo 19:14, 11 November 2007 (UTC)
"Quirks
In the episode "My Hero", he is shown to act strangely around pennies, which possibly due to an event in the pilot episode that makes Janitor dislike him. His religious orientation is unclear, he appears to believe in karma, as seen in "My Karma", but on other occasions J.D. has indicated that he may be a Christian, having an imaginary conversation with Jesus over the option of abortion and taking Jesus' ultimatum of "no abortions!" seriously. He is generally a very clumsy person; he trips and falls in some way or another on a regular basis."
I'm just wondering why his religious affiliation have anything to do with "quirks" 66.69.122.130 ( talk) 00:43, 14 February 2008 (UTC)
jd was also nicknamed scooter in one episode by the janitor —Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.202.231.147 ( talk) 10:11, 11 June 2008 (UTC)
The information previously in this article is not suitable for this site, so it has been removed. Most of the information was just pure original research, while the rest is just not suitable for an in-universe description of the character. Both his role in the series and his overall personality should be described within a few paragraphs. That information should be directly sourced by something, preferably information from the creators rather than the episodes. The current layout is based on Troy McClure, which is a featured article. If you believe that the information was fine, you're currently on the wrong site. Finding a good wiki on Wikia would be a good goal. TTN ( talk) 23:11, 15 September 2008 (UTC)
I just saw an espisode where one of J.D.'s girlfriends got pregnant, shouldn't this be mentioned somewhere? Emperor001 ( talk) 18:11, 9 February 2009 (UTC)

Wood, Jr., but there is no mention of it on that page. Some of the footage that was taking might have been used in Plan 9 from Outer Space. Xannon 18:05, 19 June 2007 (UTC)
I would guess that it is more likely a reference to Forrest J Ackerman, who often referred to himself as "Dr. Acula" in the pages of his kiddie magazine, Famous Monsters of Filmland. This name received much wider exposure through Forry than anywhere else. Check Dr._Acula for a few likely references, but I wouldn't select a single source without a cite.

"played by John Ritter who died a few months before the episode was made" Bustter 22:28, 21 July 2007 (UTC)
check the article history to just before/after my above post. It's been revised to indicate that the Ritter character's death was a "tribute" to Ritter's death, an assertion that needs a source. Bustter 21:11, 28 July 2007 (UTC)
Check the history..."a few months before the episode was made" was changed to "a few months before the episode was aired" shortly after my initial post. The quote was verbatim from the article as it stood on the date of my post.21:54, 28 July 2007 (UTC)
The entire first paragraph of that section consists entirely on event that occurred in one particular episode then were never referenced again. This section should be trimmed down to only events that occur repeatedly throughout the series. - SigmaEpsilon → Σ Ε 03:59, 1 August 2007 (UTC)
The article does need cleanup. However, there is no justification for slashing large sections down to a few sentences. It would be better to discuss first, then edit. -- Ckatz chat spy 17:53, 15 August 2007 (UTC)
do you even listen to yourself? people shouldn't have to go to other wiki's, they don't have to go to other wiki's. They come here. and as for, "eventually merged", thats not how wikipedia works at all, an article grows untill it becomes too big and is split into smaller articles, not the other way around, thats just stupid.--

Anyone still here? This needs to be cut down, and you cannot realistically have a consensus to keep an article in a crappy state, so you can either try to help format the article or whine about it afterwards. TTN 11:28, 19 August 2007 (UTC)

This description was recently added... I was going to remove it, but Jac16888 beat me to it. I don't think it fits here for several reasons. Firstly, the text would need a citation from a reliable source, not a blog or forum. Secondly, and most importantly, from what I can find, the term appears to refer to a close, non-romantic relationship between a heterosexual man and a homosexual man, not between two heterosexual males. As such, it wouldn't apply to J.D. and Turk. Thoughts? -- Ckatz chat spy 21:48, 10 September 2007 (UTC)
Hmm...I deleted the character profile section dealing with a description of J.D.'s balls. sound fair? 9/16/07 ksagar
"acts strangely around pennies (possibly due to an event in the pilot episode that makes the Janitor dislike him.)"
I'm pretty sure he acts weird around pennies because he has appendicitis. I don't have any specific reference, but in the episode, I believe JD was in the hospital as a patient and he didn't want Turk to operate on him, but he ended up operating on JD anyway because of complications and him being the only doctor on call. Some dialogue I remember: JD "Did you stitch your initials into me?", JD "If I ever need surgery again, I want you (Turk) to be inside me." and Turk says, "I want to be the one inside you."
Hopefully that's enough to pin it down for a correction. 208.117.81.202 01:37, 30 September 2007 (UTC)
This article is in dire need of a clean up. While it is debatable on what should stay and go, I think Transportation should be completely taken out, while the Romantic Relationships section heavily condensed.
Let's be honest: Most of JD's girlfriends aren't all that unique. Alex's section is how I think they should be handled, 2-3 sentences of the history of the relationship, and the actress who plays her. I'll take this up sometime this weekend, but I'm open to suggestions on how to go about this. 134.68.177.150 22:33, 8 November 2007 (UTC)
I edited the "Relationships" section (Romantic interests, to be precise) and forgot to log in and another user reverted it as vandalism. It was nothing of the sort, just trimming down the Romantic Interests section of a few sentences, whereas I believe it should be trimmed down much more but I didn't have enough time yesterday. I'm going to revert the edit, as it certainly wasn't vandalism, and I've put this page on Watch so I can be reached here or my individual talk page. Hopefully we can come to a compromise. Notthegoatseguy 15:44, 11 November 2007 (UTC)
a brief mention in J.D's article would be fine but she needs a more detailed entry in elliotts and Dr Cox for sure, and to a lesser extent in Turk and Carla's after helping with their relationship. Skitzo 19:14, 11 November 2007 (UTC)
"Quirks
In the episode "My Hero", he is shown to act strangely around pennies, which possibly due to an event in the pilot episode that makes Janitor dislike him. His religious orientation is unclear, he appears to believe in karma, as seen in "My Karma", but on other occasions J.D. has indicated that he may be a Christian, having an imaginary conversation with Jesus over the option of abortion and taking Jesus' ultimatum of "no abortions!" seriously. He is generally a very clumsy person; he trips and falls in some way or another on a regular basis."
I'm just wondering why his religious affiliation have anything to do with "quirks" 66.69.122.130 ( talk) 00:43, 14 February 2008 (UTC)
jd was also nicknamed scooter in one episode by the janitor —Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.202.231.147 ( talk) 10:11, 11 June 2008 (UTC)
The information previously in this article is not suitable for this site, so it has been removed. Most of the information was just pure original research, while the rest is just not suitable for an in-universe description of the character. Both his role in the series and his overall personality should be described within a few paragraphs. That information should be directly sourced by something, preferably information from the creators rather than the episodes. The current layout is based on Troy McClure, which is a featured article. If you believe that the information was fine, you're currently on the wrong site. Finding a good wiki on Wikia would be a good goal. TTN ( talk) 23:11, 15 September 2008 (UTC)
