Those aren't "unqualified fictional statements", they're quotes from the show.
The manner in which the author of the list has presented them is quite disingenuous, then. It is entirely unobvious to a casual reader who is unfamiliar with the purpose, nature and structure of this television program that they are anything but statements of fact made in keeping with the tone of voice established throughout the other articles of the encyclopedia.
Why would a casual reader be reading the article having not first read the article on the program itself? Once they've done that, they would be familiar with the purpose, nature and structure of the program.
