Overall evaluation
I think the introductory sentence gives a good explanation of what the gist of the show is about. It doesn't really include a description of the article's major sections, but does have a lot of information about where it airs and the nominations it has accrued. The content in the article is definitely relevant to the topic, it includes descriptions of the main characters as well as the different episodes that have been aired. As for tone, I think the article does a decent job of keeping things neutral. I think there are a few sections, like the production, that could potentially be expanded on a bit more. The article does make use of images of the TV show, and ones that include most of the main characters for people's reference. The Talk page has conversations about external things related to the TV show, including fan art and the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. It's not super relevant to the information. I think the introductory paragraphs that give us an overview of what the topic is about could be condensed, but overall my first impression of the article was decent.
