Hi. I will be reviewing this for GAN. Give me a couple hours to read this. BenLinus 1214 talk 22:37, 10 June 2015 (UTC)

Unfortunately, I will have to fail this article for now. Basically, the problem is that the article is not very informative or broad enough. Extremely far from a GA in that regard, especially because there are no production notes whatsoever and the episode mostly consists of an episode list. BenLinus 1214 talk 01:16, 11 June 2015 (UTC)


 * GA review (see here for what the criteria are, and here for what they are not)


 * 1) It is reasonably well written.
 * a (prose, no copyvios, spelling and grammar): b (MoS for lead, layout, word choice, fiction, and lists):
 * There's not really much prose here, so you need to change that.
 * 1) It is factually accurate and verifiable.
 * a (reference section): b (citations to reliable sources):  c (OR):
 * 1) It is broad in its coverage.
 * a (major aspects): b (focused):
 * 1) It follows the neutral point of view policy.
 * Fair representation without bias:
 * Your larger numbers of mixed to negative reviews is a bit troubling
 * 1) It is stable.
 * No edit wars, etc.:
 * 1) It is illustrated by images and other media, where possible and appropriate.
 * a (images are tagged and non-free content have fair use rationales): b (appropriate use with suitable captions):
 * 1) Overall:
 * Pass/Fail:

If you would like to further improve the article, here are some comments:


 * The article does not have a wide enough scope. There are no production details, and the series overview and reception sections are much too short.
 * A lot of your references boil down to database entries, which shouldn't be over-cited in an article, as they do not illustrate notability.
 * Your page mostly consists of an episode list, which isn't really great for a GA. If you think about it, if you remove the episode list, the article is pretty much nothing. I'm not suggesting that you remove it--just pointing that out.


 * Lead
 * This stuff doesn't have to be cited per WP:LEADCITE.
 * Series overview
 * Needs expansion.
 * Cast and characters
 * Unsourced.
 * Should probably expand into prose. See Veronica Mars for example.
 * Episodes
 * Your main ratings link is suffering from WP:Link rot.
 * Reception
 * No source on Rotten Tomatoes
 * Your reviews don't seem to cover an 80% positive review rate.
 * DVD Release
 * Unsourced
