Production codes[edit]

As always, these are a real pain but, regarding this edit, the period/decimal point in "9.0x" at the citation points toward the number as not being a production code. The CBS press releases duplicated at The Futon Critic show "Our Mysteries" as #905[1] and "Our Stuff Gets Real" as #909,[2] which is the opposite of spoiler TV. --AussieLegend (talk) 15:49, 11 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I do agree they are a pain, but I believe they are correct. The source I used are for casting calls for the episodes, which means the episodes would be in production. It makes sense for the official press releases to go by the episode number and not production code, as to not confuse. For example, the press release for "My Princess" is labeled as 711, but was produced as 709, as noted here on Wikipedia. The casting call for "Our Stuff Gets Real" lists characters Mr. and Mrs. Foster, which appear in the press release for the episode. The casting call for "Our Stuff Gets Real" was posted more than a month before the one for "Our Mysteries". And they're labeled 905 and 909 respectively when the casting calls were posted, hence, the production number. And I know it's not an official source, but the Scrubs Wikia notes the production numbers as well for this episodes: "Our Mysteries" and "Our Stuff Gets Real". Hopefully that's enough evidence for it. Drovethrughosts (talk) 18:18, 11 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The Scrubs wikia is a wiki and is therefore not a reliable source. Neither is Wikipedia (that's why we have to provide citations!) and the production code listed in My Princess is uncited. The comments you're making about casting calls are not supported by citations. The citations you added to the article don't state that the numbers you've used are production codes and, as I've already mentioned, the period/decimal point supports them not being a production code because none of the production codes posted so far include a decimal point. In short, there's not a single reliable source in there anywhere. On casting calls, these don't indicate that episodes are in production. They're usually made well before production and sometimes they come to nothing. This is why production codes are such a pain. --AussieLegend (talk) 23:47, 11 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Again, this all just might be original research on my part, but whatever. For the Spoiler TV links, the period/decimal points are irrelevant, that's just how that sites labels them. Whether it's 901, 9.01 or 9x01, it's the same thing. Plus, why would a casting call for the aired ninth episode be posted more than a month before the aired fifth episode, and why would "Our Stuff Gets Real" (aired episode 9) be labeled 905? It also makes sense that "Our Mysteries" is 909 because it features the exit of Zach Braff. Just another thing I noticed which is the reason I'm replying to this again, is the production credits. Jonathan Groff is an executive producer for the first half of the season and is now a consulting producer for the second half, but he was credited as a consulting producer for episode 5, which makes sense if episode 5 was produced as episode 9. Again, all probably original research, but just wanted to get it out there. Drovethrughosts (talk) 14:38, 27 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

As you've indicated, this is all original research. We need something that specifically states they are production codes. --AussieLegend (talk) 14:55, 27 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, so I left a message on the Scrubs wikia page, and someone there kindly was able to help me out. Hopefully this will count as a suitable source, it's from one of the writers' Twitter account, Brian Bradley's. Here it is. Drovethrughosts (talk) 17:23, 27 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
