 * Gravity Falls: Gravity Falls
 * I chose Gravity Falls because while I have not watched it all the way through, I am interested in the series and I am somewhat familiar with the characters and details of the plot.

Lead
The Lead's introductory sentence clearly and concisely describes the article's topic. It does not outright list the main sections but they can be inferred from the Lead as one goes through the article. All of the information is reiterated throughout the article. The show's summary is possibly a little overly detailed as the summary is the very first section of the article after the Lead.

Content
Everything appears relevant to the article. I was a little distracted by the lengthy character list within the article, given there is a separate linked article for Gravity Falls characters. While some inclusion of characters is important to the article, the number could probably be cut down.

Tone and Balance
The show is shown in a fairly positive light but in a neutral manner because this positive light is due to a high number of positive ratings, reviews, and awards Gravity Falls has received. The viewpoints seem to be fairly represented. There are no attempts at persuasion one way or the other.

Sources and References
The citation links all appear to be functional. The references seem to be appropriate and reliable. Due to the nature of the article, being an article about entertainment, some of the source neutrality is limited. For example, announcements made by Disney or interviews with the creator, Alex Hirsch are naturally going to come at Gravity Falls at a particular angle. However, they are not in control of the awards the show won and the facts from these biased sources were more about the airing and creation of the show, which do not require rigidly neutral origins to be appropriate and reliable.

The Talk Page
Most of the conversations focus on show details and whether or not the inclusion of the details are important. There is quite a lot of conversation about characters and character details, including a topic similar to my suggestion about cutting down the list of characters since there is an article for Gravity Falls characters.

The article is rated C-Class and is part of several WikiProjects: WikiProject Television, WikiProject United States/American Animation/American Television, WikiProject Disney, WikiProject Animation/American/Television, WikiProject Comedy, and WikiProject Oregon. Most of these are low-importance.
