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:
- In the Plot, "In Springfield, Evergreen Terrace holds a garage sale", this a stupid question, but this sentence makes it seem that everyone from Evergreen Terrace is having a garage sale, if so, you might want to re-word it a bit. In the Background section, "At that point family values were the cornerstone of Bush's campaign platform", add a comma after "point". Same section, this sentence ---> "In that broadcast there was hastily included a new opening", reads very odd. Same section, "Homer, Patty, and Selma sit on couch", sit on couch? In the Writing section, "Oakley said that Bush had been in the office for several years at the point when the episode went into production", this sentence makes it seem that Bush visited the Simpsons writers offices for some reason. If you mean Bush serving as President, you might want to fix the sentence. In the Reception section, "It was named by the Vanity Fair's John Orvted as the show's fifth best episode", remove "the".
- Check.
