who ever wrote this is stupid

"Screams of Silence: The Story of Brenda Q" was broadcast on October 30, 2011, as a part of an animated television night on Fox, and was preceded by The Simpsons and the series premiere/cancellation of the animated series Allen Gregory, and followed by Family Guy creator and executive producer Seth MacFarlane's spin-off, The Cleveland Show. It was watched by 5.97 million viewers, according to Nielsen ratings, despite airing simultaneously with Desperate Housewives on ABC, The Amazing Race on CBS and Sunday Night Football on NBC. The episode also acquired a 3.2/7 rating in the 18–49 demographic, beating Allen Gregory and The Cleveland Show in addition to significantly edging out both shows in total viewership.[7] The episode's ratings decreased significantly from the previous week's episode, "Seahorse Seashell Party".[8]

Critical Reception

There is a critical review on Fox News here if anyone wants to use it.--v/r - T P 17:13, 1 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Is there a corresponding one that actually shows positive support for that the show tried to take a stance against something important, that definitely isn't a funny real world topic at all, and sticking with that theme? Dave (talk) 19:22, 5 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I shall be reviewing the article. -- Matthew RD 19:27, 8 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Pretty much a tick from the GA criteria, but there are the odd outstanding issues to take care of.

The lead says the episode received mixed to negative reviews, but the reception section says thatb the reviews were mixed, but the media reaction to the central theme of domestic abuse was criticised.

"Reviews of the episode were mostly mixed, with one critic saying of the storyline "A serious episode of Family Guy cripples the show’s strengths."" I think it's nice to have a statement summing what one thought of the episode, but I'd like the end of the sentence cited (even if it is by McFarland).

I'll place the article on hold for seven days. -- Matthew RD 17:52, 10 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you, that's a pass, and just so you know, when I left you the message a couple of days ago, I noitced there are other reviewed episodes awaiting your reply. -- Matthew RD 02:10, 13 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

"Story of [Brenda] Q" - pun on "Story of O" (Anne Desclos/Pauline Réage)?

Does anyone know if the title "Story of [Brenda] Q" is a pun on the infamous/classic (?) BDSM novel "The Story Of O"? Jimw338 (talk) 17:40, 8 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
