This article is in decent shape, but it needs more work before it becomes a Good Article.
- Is it well written?
- A. The prose is clear and concise, and the spelling and grammar are correct:

- B. It complies with the manual of style guidelines for lead sections, layout, words to watch, fiction, and list incorporation:
- In the lead, you might want to correctly link "The French Connection" to its correspondence article. In the Production section, it would be best if "David Mirkin" was linked once, per here. In the Cultural references section, "Additionally, Marge's training sequences features homages to Police Academy and Speed" ---> "Additionally, Marge's training sequences features homages to Police Academy (1984) and Speed (1994)", so that it can provide context for the reader.
