This article needs to be improved a bit to pass as a GA. Here's the reasons:
 * References: The article needs more. There's only 11, and the article needs more to pass.
 * Needs to be done? Yes


 * Images: The article has No images, making it impossible for the article to pass. There are plenty out there, just remember to add a fair-use rationale and caption to them when you add them.
 * Needs to be done? Yes

Don Terry as Larry Kent, a reporter investigating the disappearance of a colleague in the area. it'll be much better.
 * Cast: This section is very lacking. Turning this section to look like this:
 * Needs to be done? Optional

Closing thoughts: The article is good, despite being quite bare-boned in most sections. After the above problems are fixed, the article can pass.

 * Response to above
 * 1) Changed the Cast section, per above comment by, will flesh that out a bit more soon. Cirt (talk) 10:36, 15 March 2008 (UTC)
 * 2) Added a low res, fair use image, screenshot from the serial. Cirt (talk) 10:36, 15 March 2008 (UTC)
 * 3) I'm going to add a bit more from one or two other sources, but I really don't think the article needs more references simply for having more references' sake - that is not what is meant at WP:WIAGA - simply that the material presently in the article should be backed up to WP:RS/WP:V sources. If it is, then it satisfies the referencing criteria.  Cirt (talk) 00:50, 16 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Update: Added 2 additional References into a Further reading section, until they can be incorporated into the article. Cirt (talk) 06:50, 16 March 2008 (UTC)

GA fail
I'm VERY sorry to say this, but the article cannot pass. It isn't written well, as it has choppy sentences, and the info isn't very helpful. (Running time = 15 chapters)? It also dosen't have a release section and the reception section needs to be expanded. After the article is re-written and these problems are fixed, it can be relisted.
