Colour contrast problems

It seems that this article is using colours in the infobox which don't satisfy Wikipedia's accessibility guidelines. The contrast between the foreground colour and the background colour is low, which means that it may be difficult or impossible for people with visual impairments to read it.

To correct this problem, a group of editors have decided to remove support for invalid colours from Template:Infobox television season and other television season templates after 1 September 2015. If you would still like to use custom colours for the infobox and episode list in this article after that date, please ensure that the colours meet the WCAG AAA standard.

To test whether a colour combination is AAA-compliant you can use Snook's colour contrast tool. If your background colour is dark, then please test it against a foreground colour of "FFFFFF" (white). If it is light, please test it against a foreground colour of "000000" (black). The tool needs to say "YES" in the box for "WCAG 2 AAA Compliant" when you input the foreground and the background colour. You can generally make your colour compliant by adjusting the "Value (%)" fader in the middle box.

Please be sure to change the invalid colour in every place that it appears, including the infobox, the episode list, and the series overview table. If you have any questions about this, please ask on Template talk:Infobox television season. MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 05:30, 2 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Possible copyvio problem

I noticed that this article's episode descriptions showed a 95% confidence for violation with two websites. One of them doesn't include a date, but [1] appears to indicate that it was created on April 10, 2010. If this is true, then the episodes are indeed plagiarized. However, I'm not sure because my formatting for the page is broken and is displaying as raw text. Would someone not encountering this issue check this out for me? -©2016 Compassionate727^{(Talk)(Contributions)} 18:49, 22 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

John Cena as Charlie in Main Cast??

I don't think so...

East German detergent

"The One with the East German Laundry Detergent"? East Germany in 1994? So Ross bought the detergent 4 years before using it? Ok... 188.113.95.213 (talk) 15:59, 14 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
