Hi. I will be reviewing this for GAN. Give me a couple hours to read this. BenLinus 1214^talk 22:37, 10 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Unfortunately, I will have to fail this article for now. Basically, the problem is that the article is not very informative or broad enough. Extremely far from a GA in that regard, especially because there are no production notes whatsoever and the episode mostly consists of an episode list.

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

It is reasonably well written.
a (prose, no copyvios, spelling and grammar): b (MoS for lead, layout, word choice, fiction, and lists):
There's not really much prose here, so you need to change that.
It is factually accurate and verifiable.
a (reference section): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR):
It is broad in its coverage.
a (major aspects): b (focused):
It follows the neutral point of view policy.
Fair representation without bias:
Your larger numbers of mixed to negative reviews is a bit troubling
It is stable.
No edit wars, etc.:
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):
Overall:
Pass/Fail:

@CB2288: If you would like to further improve the article, here are some comments:

The article does not have a wide enough scope. There are no production details, and the series overview and reception sections are much too short.
A lot of your references boil down to database entries, which shouldn't be over-cited in an article, as they do not illustrate notability.
Your page mostly consists of an episode list, which isn't really great for a GA. If you think about it, if you remove the episode list, the article is pretty much nothing. I'm not suggesting that you remove it--just pointing that out.

- Should probably expand into prose. See Veronica Mars for example.
Episodes
- Your main ratings link is suffering from WP:Link rot.
Reception
- No source on Rotten Tomatoes
- Your reviews don't seem to cover an 80% positive review rate.
DVD Release
