Hey, I'm going to be reviewing this article. Expect comments by the end of the week. Some Dude From North Carolina (talk) 12:31, 4 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The infobox genre and runtime need references per the template.
- Sources I've already used in this article describe it as a teen drama so this is no problem (there is also the entire section where it discusses it's influence on the genre), but how would you reference the runtime? ToQ100gou (talk) 00:53, 13 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The guidelines on the template say that the genre and runtime need sources.

On finding a source, I would look for newspaper clippings, books, TV Guides, or reviews with runtimes.

Not sure "and others" is necessary. The "starring" section should mention every lead in the opening credits / link to character list.
- The show does not contain opening cast credits, and the ending credits vary depending on the characters relevant to the episode. The starring section lists all the actors in the show who played notable characters that already have articles. I can remove that and replace it the character list if that's a problem.

If the "starring" section is not definitive then a character list link would be better. Some Dude From North Carolina (talk) 01:00, 13 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The note after "27 February 1989" needs sources.
- I can just remove that note. ToQ100gou (talk) 00:53, 13 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  - Removed. ToQ100gou (talk) 01:47, 13 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Other than that, the lead looks good.

"a adult-centered" → "an adult-centered"
- Fixed. ToQ100gou (talk) 01:47, 13 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
The block quote needs a citation.
- Done. ToQ100gou (talk) 01:47, 13 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
In #Filming, It's Late → "It's Late"
- Fixed. ToQ100gou (talk) 01:47, 13 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
End quotes should always be followed by a citation (WP:QUOTE).
- Working on it. ToQ100gou (talk) 01:47, 13 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
"writer for the series" → "a writer for the series"
- Fixed. ToQ100gou (talk) 01:47, 13 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The third paragraph is uncited.
- Fixed. That information came from the same book that the rest has been sourced from so I don't know why I missed that. ToQ100gou (talk) 01:48, 13 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
"a ethnically" → "an ethnically"
- Fixed. ToQ100gou (talk) 01:48, 13 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Several paragraphs here lack sources.
- Fixed. ToQ100gou (talk) 02:07, 13 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Remove the comma after "fixed cast".
- Fixed. ToQ100gou (talk) 02:07, 13 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The last sentence in the first paragraph needs a source.
- Used one of the books as a primary source, am looking for a review as an additional source. ToQ100gou (talk) 02:08, 13 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

See WP:DATECOMMA and MOS:TIME.
- Fixed. ToQ100gou (talk) 02:08, 13 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Also be consistent with the dmy format.
- Changed to be consistent. ToQ100gou (talk) 01:59, 13 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
"September 22, 1987 ^[18]" → "September 22, 1987^[18]"
- Fixed. ToQ100gou (talk) 01:59, 13 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
"the The Afternoon Show" → "The Afternoon Show"
- Fixed, I should have noticed that. ToQ100gou (talk) 01:59, 13 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
"mid 1990s" → "mid-1990s"
- Fixed. ToQ100gou (talk) 01:59, 13 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
#Home_media_and_streaming needs additional sources.
- Sources for DVDs added, but I can't find much sources anywhere in regards to them being available for streaming elsewhere. Would it be better to remove what cannot be sourced? ToQ100gou (talk) 01:59, 13 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

See WP:RECEPTION.
- I already have, I've been continuously trying to make the section not seem repetitive, even though in my opinion, there's only so much literary gymnastics you can do over what truly does boil down to "he said this, she said this". I don't mind suggestions. ToQ100gou (talk) 02:06, 13 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
The last sentence in the first paragraph of #In_popular_culture needs a source.
- Fixed. ToQ100gou (talk) 02:06, 13 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Be consistent with the dmy format here too.
- As above, fixed.
"it's" is a contraction between it and is. However, several sections in this article use "it's" to describe a season (ex. "it's second season") when it should be "its second season" so correct them. They can be found in "First-run broadcast", "Critical reception", and "Awards and nominations".
- All fixed. ToQ100gou (talk) 02:06, 13 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I do not see a reason to capitalize the word "Season", so be consistent in #Cast and #Notes.
- Fixed. ToQ100gou (talk) 03:01, 13 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Archive sources (you can use [1] or [2] to do so).
- Is there a bot to do this? There is a large amount of sources and I don't want to do all of it manually. ToQ100gou (talk) 03:12, 13 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
