Cheers (season 2)

 * ... that Nielsen ratings of Cheers were low in the first season but high in the second?
 * ALT1:... that, during its second season, the Cheers set survived fire that struck the Paramount Studios?
 * ALT2:... that Cheers producers did not regret on pairing Sam and Diane together, despite negative reviews and huge breakup between them in finale of the second season?

 * Pictogram voting keep.svg First, apologies if I misformat or don't hit everything that's necessary--this is my first DYK review. Article is of sufficient length and moved into mainspace within 5 days prior to submission. There was some non-neutral language in the article, but I think I've removed most of it. I personally find some of the episode synopses to be too long, while others are too short, but that's a matter for editorial discretion. Overall, the article seems to be well-written, comprehensive, and well-sourced. It could likely qualify as a good article given a little more work on the prose and a more careful balancing of the episode list.
 * As for the hooks however...the first one is too bland (and the low first season ratings claim isn't actually sourced), the second has nothing to do with the season itself and is probably true of the majority of Paramount projects at the time, and the third is not quite sourced in the article (similar things are said, but no specific mention is made that they "did not regret" the pairing. Personally, I'd suggest something more like one of the following:
 * ALT3 ... that the second season of Cheers won four Primetime Emmy Awards?
 * ALT4 ... that several reviewers criticized the romance between Sam and Diane in the second season of Cheers because it lasted too long and presented a poor relationship role model?
 * I know the first is not "unusual", but it is a strong claim to high quality, and to me is enough. The second combines two separate sourced facts from the article; I assume this is okay, but if it has to arise out of a singular sourced statement, it could be modified.

 * Symbol redirect vote4.png I don't know; removing things, like one paragraph or one partial sentence, may be deemed to me as more than mere copyediting. Also, you made two alternative hooks, so another reviewer may be needed, unless I'm wrong. --George Ho (talk) 00:30, 9 October 2012 (UTC)

Alt4 seems the most hooky. Date and length also OK. The C of E. God Save The Queen! (talk) 10:06, 21 October 2012 (UTC)
