If someone says that in Episode X of Show Y this happened, I can't imagine
why I wouldn't believe it.
And I can imagine any number of ways by which if I *had* to I could verify
such claim, including going to the production company or the Museum of
Television and Radio or asking on craigslist to view such episode.

You don't have to believe it. If you choose not to believe the source,
that's fine, but we have a policy on what sources we consider
reliable. A few fans of a TV show is not on that list.
If you disagree with Wikipedia's definition of reliable, you should
try and get consensus to change it. Until you do, that's the
definition we go by, and by that definition, a scientific paper is
reliable, a random fan of a TV show is not.
