Talk:227 (TV series)

Location of the neighborhood
The article includes this:


 * While the neighborhood's location is never mentioned specifically, it is shown in the opening credits to have very close proximity to the Washington Monument.

Is it worth mentioning that the photograph was doctored and that the neighborhood location (especially with that building number) is impossible?


 * Yeah, that should be mentioned, because I know I didn't know that. Mike H 15:10, Jun 16, 2005 (UTC)

"Inner city" seems like an antiquated and rather pejorative qualifier. Seems unnecessary here.

Grammar
The credibility of this article is severely hindered by poor grammar and overuse of parentheses. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 66.153.70.42 (talk) 20:39, 6 March 2007 (UTC).


 * I totally agree. This article was very poorly written. I attempted to clean it up myself, but got too tired. Instead I put a cleanup tag on it. Keekee 05:11, 29 March 2007 (UTC)


 * I've cleared up some of the grammar based on what was there, but it could still probably benefit from some closer attention from someone who actually knows the show. --Nozzer42 17:34, 9 May 2007 (UTC)

"African-American series"
Nitpicking here, but it seems that this needs to be reworded. The series itself is not African-American. It's American. The characters and actors are African-American. Not the show. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.194.255.144 (talk) 06:52, 30 October 2007 (UTC)


 * What about "American series tailored to African American viewers" ? 159.178.42.193 (talk) 14:35, 20 April 2022 (UTC)

Theme song
The discussion of the theme song is incomprehensible. For one, it uses the word "tremble", saying that it's "non-existent". In my experience, music doesn't necessarily shake uncontrollably, so perhaps the fact that it doesn't exist in the theme song should go without saying. Secondly, it gives undue weight to the addition of the "Ooh!" in latter seasons -- it doesn't make clear what the "Ooh!" is supposed to be, but nonetheless talks about it for four sentences. The next section starts with "227 never had changed its theme song, except for the new set of the Jenkins' apartment...," which, in addition to being extremely poor writing, makes no sense at all after the paragraph on the addition of the "Ooh!".

Granted, 227 wasn't Seinfeld, but I think we can do a little better than this horribly-written piece of claptrap. 68.46.43.198 (talk) 20:57, 20 December 2008 (UTC)

Building same as one on Sesame Street?
Is it me or is the building the same as Sesame Street? CaribDigita (talk) 02:40, 10 December 2017 (UTC)


 * I thought so too. It turns out not to be true:
