Talk:Temperatures Rising

Temperatures Rising is a sitcom that I liked a lot when it originally aired in the United States on the ABC network back in the early 1970s. Although it has yet to be made available commercially on DVD I have been able to obtain some episodes via a private source. I still think its a funny show and would like to see it brought back into circulation. My interest in the series inspired me to learn as much as I can about its history. Thus I have spent the last few years accumulating a large amount of information about the series (mainly vintage newspaper articles). Using this information I re-wrote and greatly expanded this article several months ago and attempted to elevate it to FA status. Although four reviews supported the article two others opposed it. The claim of these latter two was that the text was "not engaging" and needed reworking. I found this somewhat surprising because I had some friends who are published authors look it over. They told me that the article was fine. One of the opposers also stated that the article is incomplete because it lacks a production section (i.e. information about production schedules, writers, directors, and other "behind-the-scenes" personnel). This is true, unfortunately, because my sources do not cover this information and what is available on the internet is not reliable. Thus no consensus for promotion was reached and the article was not promoted.

The logical step now seems to try to achieve GA status. If anyone can make suggestions on how to improve this article please feel free to over up any that you have. (Also note that some of the episodes are available for viewing on YouTube). Thanks. Jimknut (talk) 20:41, 11 January 2015 (UTC)
