Notes

  1. 1 2 A fictional "Secretary of Health and Education" is referred to in Twenty-Five (Ep 4.23). However, other episodes refer to the Department of Health and Human Services and the Department of Education without referring to their respective secretaries, either implying that the Secretary of Health and Education oversees both departments or that the line in Ep. 4.23, implying that one secretary oversees both departments, was a script mistake (Interestingly enough, in real life, before 1979, there was a Department of Health, Education, and Welfare).
