Ted is mentioned for the first time in the end of the Episodes section with no explanation of who he is (full name, role etc). As a minor but recurring character he should probably be mentioned somewhere before he is referred to, and his relationship with JD etc explained. Dichohecho ( talk) 12:21, 5 November 2019 (UTC)
There is no mention under the Cast and characters section of Christina Miller who played Jordan Sullivan; Dr. Cox's wife. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:1700:4260:35D0:E5E9:BA34:FD00:9F1E ( talk) 13:58, 10 February 2020 (UTC)
Re: Scrubs TV Series
What I wrote creates an important issue. The requirement of Wikipedia justifies removal would be "no original research or opinion" I wrote "Scrubs is was one of the rare comedic series of the era that did not have a laugh track. One episode had one to show the contrast" Having watched the entire series, including the one mentioned, this is factual. A quick survey showed nothing in print that stated what I did. Unlike my claiming that I had a talk with a creature from another galaxy, this entire series was viewed by millions. If another viewer who could refute that there was this single laugh track exception, or it was for another reason than emphasizing the contrast, that person should be able to remove my statement.
This is a rare exception of Wikipedia allowing a statement of fact that has no printed support, but it is informative in describing a genre and an era. The key to my objection is that it narrows the legitimate scope of Wikipedia, The phrase "One user notes" should be an acceptable variation in the rules, so that a different single viewer, in this case who has seen every episode, could remove such comments as mine.
In effect I'm suggesting that a given statement that is interesting but not newsworthy should be allowed to stand, but conditionally, such as the words, One viewer notes, or (OVN) perhaps at the end of the statement. Perhaps this should only be available to certain users, like a long period of making edits (15 yrs for me
