Hey, I'm going to be reviewing this article. Some Dude From North Carolina^{wanna talk?} 23:58, 16 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Infobox and lead

This article's infobox has some parameters that can be filled in, such as the episode's producers (Craig Knizek, William Cosentino, and Mike Martineau), cinematographer (Bobby Byrne), and editor (Sheila Amos). Information can be found here.
Second sentence in the lead ends too soon. Try merging it with the next one.

Plot

Since there's no cast section, episode articles usually have the actors' names in this section.
This section is 294 words long, so there are no problems with MOS:TVPLOT.
Add a comma after "he is shrinking".
- Done

Production

Conception and writing

"Victor Levin wrote the script. He believed" --> "Victor Levin wrote the script, believing that"
"and Helen Hunt's talents. He also hoped" --> "and Helen Hunt's talents, also hoping that"
"something show personnel" --> "something the show's personnel"
"They were unable" --> "However, they were unable"
- Done

Filming and broadcast

Cinematographer Bobby Byrne should probably be mentioned in this section.
Other than that, I couldn't find any other issues here.
- My problem with this is that Byrne isn't mentioned in any of the sources, so his work on this episode doesn't appear to be notable enough. - JuneGloom07 Talk 04:30, 19 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Reception

Ratings

This reference doesn't say that the episode "was the seventh most-watched show on NBC".
- True, but I assumed the reader would be able to deduce that fact from the figures given. I don't think that violates WP:OR. - JuneGloom07 Talk 04:30, 19 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Critical response

New section, so the names Paul Reiser and Helen Hunt should be in full.
Put quotation marks around the word "special".
- Done

Other stuff

Per criteria #6, some images should probably be added, such as a television screenshot, or an image of a notable actor.
- Added images of the actors involved. - JuneGloom07 Talk 04:11, 17 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
