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

1. It is reasonably well written.

   a (prose, spelling, and grammar): b (MoS for lead, layout, word choice, fiction, and lists):

   Follows MOS with regards to MOS:FICT and maintaining correct perspective.

2. It is factually accurate and verifiable.

   a (reference section): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR): d (copyvio and plagiarism):

   Maintains proper distance from primary source, utilizing only as descriptive information. Properly references and cites verifiable secondary sources through use of footnote in-line citations.

3. It is broad in its coverage.

   a (major aspects): b (focused):

   Article is broad and covers the overview of the show itself, the history, characters, and reception. Article does not stray into minutiae of character information, instead leaving that to separate articles or lists as appropriate.

4. It follows the neutral point of view policy.

   Fair representation without bias:

   Article does not attempt to "up-sell" or otherwise improperly portray the subject.

5. It is stable.

   No edit wars, etc.:

   Talk pages indicate some issues of WP:OWNership and possible content dispute however that was years ago. Article is stable now.

6. It is illustrated by images and other media, where possible and appropriate.

   a (images are tagged and non-free content have fair use rationales): b (appropriate use with suitable captions):

   All media properly marked as fair use or public domain where applicable.

7. Overall:

   Pass/Fail:
