Did you know

• Bill Lawrence and a few of the writers jokingly claim that Neil Flynn (The Janitor) has never actually spoken a line from any script. A fourth season script reportedly even contained "(Whatever Neil says)". While Lawrence's comment is certainly an exaggeration, it illustrates how much of his performance is spontaneous.

• Dr. Cox's (John C. McGinley's) trademark of calling J.D. by girls' names is what McGinley does in real life (jokingly) to his good friend and neighbor, John Cusack.

• Every episode was scripted, but the actors had the choice to improvise their lines if they thought of something funnier.
