GA review (see here for what the criteria are, and here for what they are not)

It is reasonably well written.
a (prose): b (MoS for lead, layout, word choice, fiction, and lists):
It is factually accurate and verifiable.
a (references): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR):
It is broad in its coverage.
a (major aspects): b (focused):
It follows the neutral point of view policy.
Fair representation without bias:
It is stable.
No edit wars, etc.:
It is illustrated by images, where possible and appropriate.
a (images are tagged and non-free images have fair use rationales): b (appropriate use with suitable captions):
Overall:
Pass/Fail:

"Desperate Housewives focuses on the lives of several residents living..." Several? It's a large cast with many characters
"According to Cherry, Brooks was cast because he exuded a "dangerous" quality, as well as "a combination of this wholesome, sweet quality and a dark, brooding quality."[15]" Use different word for first "quality"
Ratings: I noticed some differences between what the lead says and what's in the reception section:

The reception section says "helping ABC earn its largest Sunday night audience in 10 years" but the lead makes no mention of Sunday.
"Additionally, it was ABC's most watched season premiere in nine years" vs "making it the most watched season premiere on ABC in ten years"
28 or 28.4 million viewers?

The lead says "several critics noted that the episode showed signs of suffering from a sophomore slump." But I cannot find any instances of critics saying this below besides Michael Slezak (who isn't really saying there are signs of a sophomore slump; just the opposite in fact).

I'll place this one on hold for seven days, as I believe the above issues can be addressed within that time frame. Thanks, Ruby 2010/2013 22:00, 3 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Looks good. Happy to pass this one. Ruby 2010/2013 05:14, 5 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
