GA review (see here for what the criteria are, and here for what they are not)
It is reasonably well written. a (prose, spelling, and grammar): 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): d (copyvio and plagiarism): 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:

This is something very, very rare: an article ready out of the gate for GA! You should be very happy with the way this one turned out. I don't have to hold it—it's a straight (no pun intended) pass. Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 02:28, 17 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Copy changes

These were so minor I went ahead and made them. I'd like to draw the attention of Underclass King to MOS:INOROUT, which accounted for most of the tweaks. I also made it clearer in the lead that the reason for the WGA suit had nothing to do with LGBT representation, which might otherwise be inferred. You might also appreciate my essay User:Sammi Brie/Commas in sentences.

My only other suggestion is that Byram's "TV and the FCC [are] very sensitive right now" comment also has a lot to do with the aftermath of the Super Bowl XXXVIII halftime show controversy, which presumably would have been self-evident to a reader in 2004. But that's not something to hold up GA.
