I took off Template:Wikiquote because Wikiquote doesn't have that page. I am helping build another page dedicated to this season. --66.218.11.53 03:44, 4 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Comments[edit]

This is a nice article. There are some things which need to be done to improve it, I think.

The lead does not summarize the episode properly. It only tells half the story.
Everything in the production section should have a reference. The first sentence does not. Please make sure it's all covered.
What channel was The Cosby Show on? It might be good to mention it to compare.
Make sure everything in the Reception section is sourced properly.
Is it worth giving Cultural references its own section?
Is the picture of Karl really needed?

Just some thoughts. Howdoyouturnthison (talk) 00:27, 31 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

OK nevermind, Peanut4 listed me as reviewer... Howdoyouturnthison (talk) 12:26, 31 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there, thanks for the review. I did not take care of your comment #1 because per WP:LEAD and WP:EPISODE. If the lead summarized the whole plot, there wouldn't be much a point of reading the plot. I added a reference (taking care of #2.) A channel may differ worldwide. It's noted that it is on FOX, so I didn't take care of your comment #3. Comment #4 is done. There should be a separate section for Cultural reference per WP:EPISODE. Lastly, the image of Karl would provide the reader(s) with a better view. In BBC's view: "[The] episode is brought to life by the superb character of Karl..." Thanks again for the review! « Milk's Favorite Cøøkie 13:58, 31 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

You haven't said what channel the Cosby show is on. Simpsons was on Fox, but what was the Cosby show on? Howdoyouturnthison (talk) 14:03, 31 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Whoops. Done. Thanks, « Milk's Favorite Cøøkie 14:56, 31 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
