   Pass/Fail:

Comments

• "Desperate Housewives focuses on the lives of several residents living..." Several? It's a large cast with many characters
• "According to Cherry, Brooks was cast because he exuded a "dangerous" quality, as well as "a combination of this wholesome, sweet quality and a dark, brooding quality."[15]" Use different word for first "quality"
• Ratings: I noticed some differences between what the lead says and what's in the reception section:

• The reception section says "helping ABC earn its largest Sunday night audience in 10 years" but the lead makes no mention of Sunday.
• "Additionally, it was ABC's most watched season premiere in nine years" vs "making it the most watched season premiere on ABC in ten years"
• 28 or 28.4 million viewers?

• The lead says "several critics noted that the episode showed signs of suffering from a sophomore slump." But I cannot find any instances of critics saying this below besides Michael Slezak (who isn't really saying there are signs of a sophomore slump; just the opposite in fact).

I'll place this one on hold for seven days, as I believe the above issues can be addressed within that time frame. Thanks, Ruby 2010/2013 22:00, 3 December 2011 (UTC)
