Intro

The intro was changed in this edit from:

The show is remembered best as a milestone, though a severely flawed one, in the progress toward public acceptance of homosexuality.

to:

The show is remembered best as a milestone in the progress toward public acceptance of homosexual characters on television.

The edit summary states "Edited for NPOV, added category", which makes think that the "severely flawed" clause was misread as endorsing an editor's POV opinion on the show, rather than objectively reporting on the prevalent POV out there about the show. I think anyone who researches the show online will find that it is remembered in this way, with both pride that some show did make this leap and frustration that it didn't go nearly as far as it could have. How can we report on this POV, as we're supposed to do, without it being mistaken for some editor trying to get Wikipedia to endorse this POV? -- Antaeus Feldspar 16:23, 6 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not sure how to log in but I've fixed some factual errors. Clearly someone wrote a lot of this from memory years after seeing the shows. At the end of the TV-movie, Sidney does *not* become Patti's guardian: she moves to California with her mom. "Love, Sidney" is the final phrase of the movie, as Sidney writes a letter to Patti. Also, the guest character of Allison was not played by Lynne Thigpen: that actress appeared in the episode in her usual recurring role. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.46.165.243 (talk) 14:52, 21 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Awful. Reads like a essay.

This article on Wikipedia reads like a essay. There are also no sources.--98.87.130.174 (talk) 23:05, 27 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
