Ambiguous Disorder is now Diagnosed By The Audience and goes on YMMV page

Added DiffLines:

* DiagnosedByTheAudience:
** Zoey Barkow's behavior, especially in the earlier seasons, implies that she might possibly be on the Autism Spectrum. She frequently doesn't pick up on social cues, is very eccentric and socially awkward.
** Coop acts like a total {{Manchild}}, despite being an accomplished doctor in his 40s.
** In early seasons, Grace Peyton has an intense anxiety disorder.
** Fiona Peyton appears to be developmentally delayed, and also starts a fire at school.

"What an Idiot!" is now Flame Bait.


* TooBleakStoppedCaring: Seasons 6 and 7 may be too bleak for some to care.
* WhatAnIdiot: Dr. Coop in regards to Dr. Roman. Dr. Roman has proven to be at least borderline incompetent, but, courtesy of an audio recorded liason with Coop, blackmails All Saints into letting her stay. Cut to the opening of Season 6, where Coop, while at least having the intelligence to know that he has to keep far and away from her, firmly believes that if she wasn't working with him would be a viable candidate for a relationship.

* SugarWiki/FunnyMoments:
** "What Jackie needs right now is MOUNTAINS of hugs. Especially from you."
** The little dances that Coop does whenever he's happy.
** Pretty much ''anything'' that Zoe does.
** Coop's reaction to his moms getting divorced; his lower lip quivers like a little boy and then he promptly goes and sulks.
** Guest character Bernard on Dr. Akalitus: "That's not a happy woman."
* SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments:
** When Lenny brings Zoe chicken soup. And later, duck sauce.
** When Coop's bride fails to show up for their wedding the rest of the staff are surprisingly sweet to him about it, despite the fact they never thought it was a good idea. Jackie even comforts him in her own way, and Eddie joins him for the 'carriage' ride home rather than let him go it alone.
** Jackie helping the heroin addict come out of hiding from the guy who was coming to kill him.



* TearJerker:
** When [[spoiler: Dr. Cruz is desperately trying to revive his son Charlie. Charlie dies no matter how hard he tries, and despite how much of an asshole Dr. Cruz has been, you can't help but feel sorry for him as he's crying and pounding on Charlie's chest.]]
** Bernard Zimberg, full stop. He's this sweet, elderly, soft-spoken man pouring with Eli Wallach's trademark charm. He has the choice to go through medical tests but he's so stubborn that he wants none of it, and has his wife bring him chicken soup for healing instead. [[spoiler: Sadly, he dies. He knew he was dying and he didn't want his wife to know.]]
** Jackie, on her diversion program, watching a patient die, knowing full well she could have done something to save her.
