Comments

 * Fixed. Akcvtt (talk) 21:25, 5 June 2011 (UTC)
 * is a deadlink
 * Replaced. Akcvtt (talk) 21:25, 5 June 2011 (UTC)
 * "on the American Broadcasting Company (ABC)." It premiered on the network, not the company. Maybe change to "on the ABC network (or something similar)
 * Done. Akcvtt (talk) 21:25, 5 June 2011 (UTC)
 * "Actors originally considered for the role include Courteney Cox,[19] Calista Flockhart,[19][20] Heather Locklear,[19] Julia Louis-Dreyfus,[4], Mary-Louise Parker,[19][21] and Sela Ward.[22] Julia Louis-Dreyfus also expressed interest in the role, but network executives felt she was not right for the part.[4]" You mention Julia Louis-Dreyfus twice
 * Fixed. Akcvtt (talk) 21:25, 5 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Make sure sentences with direct quotes have citations directly after the period (mostly needed in reception section)
 * Done. Akcvtt (talk) 21:25, 5 June 2011 (UTC)
 * I know the pilot was good, but were there any notable negative reviews?
 * While writing the section and after another internet search just now, there aren't any notable negative reviews. It appears the pilot received universal acclaim. There are a few negative reviews that refer to the entire first season as a whole, but they do not specifically mention the pilot. Akcvtt (talk) 21:25, 5 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Websites with no offline printings, like TV Squad, The Futon Critic, and The A.V. Club, are not italicized
 * Done. Akcvtt (talk) 21:25, 5 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Ref 48 needs an access date
 * Done. Akcvtt (talk) 21:25, 5 June 2011 (UTC)

Overall it was a well-written and interesting article. Just make the changes I suggested above, and it will be good to go. I'll place the review on hold for seven days in the meantime. Thanks,  R uby2010   comment!  17:15, 5 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Your changes looks great, but there is still the remaining deadlink. Use the external links tool if you are unsure which ref the link corresponds to. Thanks,  R uby2010   comment!  04:09, 6 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Thank you for catching that. I replaced the link with a different article. Akcvtt (talk) 07:05, 9 June 2011 (UTC)
 * The article now looks GA-worthy, so I'll pass it. Very nice work!  R uby2010   comment!  17:18, 9 June 2011 (UTC)
