Hi, I am reviewing this article and have found a few nitpicks. Xtzou (Talk) 22:35, 17 April 2010 (UTC)
- ""Son of a Gun" was written by James Yoshimura based on a story by executive producer Tom Fontana, and was directed by Nick Gomez. It was the first Homicide: Life on the Street episode written by Yoshimura, who would serve as a writer and eventually supervising producer throughout the entirety of the series.[1] "Son of a Gun" featured a blending of hard-edged emotion and amusing character comedy, the combination of which would become common in future Yoshimura-penned episodes.[2] "Son of a Gun" was originally supposed to be the fourth episode of the first season of Homicide:" - Three out of four sentences contain the article name.

- Having read a couple of the articles now on this TV series, it there any explanation for why the episodes are continuing a downward trend in viewership, despite raves by critics?
- Not that I've found, at least not at this early stage in the series... — Hunter Kahn 03:52, 18 April 2010 (UTC)
Everything else about the article seems fine. Xtzou (Talk) 22:51, 17 April 2010 (UTC)
