Judicious Editing Needed on This Page
To the admins maintaining this page: it's filled with grammatical and punctuation mistakes. For instance, "Upon doing so, Hap kills her" is a misplaced modifier--grammatically, it means that Hap performs the movement, not her--but since she does it, not Hap, that sentence makes no sense at all. There is a LOT of this type of poor writing throughout the page. Someone with competent writing skills should give it a thorough editing. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.184.74.7 (talk) 01:52, 23 April 2019 (UTC)


 * Wikipedia pages are not maintained by "admins" ... but rather by "editors", like you and me. If you see grammatical and punctuation errors, you can and should correct them. Jibal (talk) 11:27, 16 June 2022 (UTC)

Lead image
The lead image was recently changed from a to a  by AgWoolridge. But I find the poster (which contains the logo against a starry landscape shot) a bit more evocative and interesting. Also: see the MoS TV show guidelines: For a show's main article, an intertitle shot of the show (i.e., a screenshot capture of the show's title) or a promotional poster used to represent the show itself should be used.

 * Agree with Wanda... let's revert to the poster. —Joeyconnick (talk) 06:08, 11 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Changed. Though I'll note that I don't have super strong feelings on this and can understand why someone might prefer a logo. (I think in general a poster will give the reader a better sense of what a show is like, but a logo is cleaner: low-res posters wind up with a bunch of blurry hard-to-read words.)

Issue with first paragraph of the article
It says that the show has made a social impact, in what way has it made any impact on society? LROSE (talk) 21:26, 24 October 2019 (UTC)
 * That statement was definitely not appropriate as written or in the lead. The opinion expressed in the title of the article by its writer is not even expanded on in its article body, let alone here. There is certainly no evidence of the social impact being widely acknowledged. The reference, for future reference, was as follows:  11:34, 3 June 2024 (UTC)

One of the greatest shows of all time?
Does one appearance on a top 100 shows of all time article really justify this statement? 24.90.150.90 (talk) 09:16, 3 June 2024 (UTC)
 * I have removed the WP:SYNTHESIS from the lead.  10:55, 3 June 2024 (UTC)
