Talk:The Bear (TV series)

How do you determine which if any episodes deserves it's own Wiki page?

At the time of asking this question, only S1E7 and S1E8 (Review and Braciole) have their own pages.

From an under-educated and very casual Wikipedia person, I feel like the acclaim from say S2E6 and S2E10 (Fishes and The Bear) are worthy of pages.

Or why not might as well make Wiki pages for all the episodes? If someone got started on the first 2 (Review/Braciole), might as well, right? Duyneuzaenasagae (talk) 04:00, 1 August 2023 (UTC)

Please see WP:NEPISODE which states: An episode of a television series is not inherently notable simply because it has aired. No, not every episodes deserve an article. — YoungForever^(talk) 04:12, 1 August 2023 (UTC)

Okay, but that again leads to the main question "How do you determine which if any episodes deserves it's own Wiki page?"

Looking at you Review and Braciole. Duyneuzaenasagae (talk) 04:44, 1 August 2023 (UTC)

"Review" and "Braciole" have articles simply because an editor took the time to create them and were able to flesh them out with plot, production, and reception information with many reliable sources as references. Please see WP:NTVEP for more info regarding articles for TV episodes. Drovethrughosts (talk) 11:10, 1 August 2023 (UTC)

Is The Bear a comedy?

While it was nominated and won awards as a comedy, it's curious to me that it was defined as such -- and given others edits I see similar comments. Perhaps this deserves a new section in the article to address the issue of what genre this show actually is? Burtherman (talk) 19:24, 25 January 2024 (UTC)

For example, the BBC address this here: https://www.bbc.com/culture/article/20240116-emmys-2024-why-people-are-baffled-by-the-bears-wins.

Clearly this is a topic of debate that could be addressed in the article Burtherman (talk) 19:29, 25 January 2024 (UTC)

@Nolowook If you want to discuss your reasoning for removing the paragraph related to this, please feel free to do so here. Burtherman (talk) 16:38, 16 February 2024 (UTC)

Drafts for seasons 1-3, episodes and characters, and season 4 article.

This is a notice that I have created drafts for seasons 1, 2 and 3 of The Bear. All editors are welcome to come and help with the articles' development, and hopefully assist in getting them approved for the mainspace.

I have also created drafts for the list of episodes and list of characters. The episodes draft wouldn't be ready for mainspace yet, as there aren't enough episodes released to meet the criteria. The characters draft needs a lot of improvement, as I haven't done much with it yet.

There is also an article in the mainspace for the fourth season, which you can also help with. Mjks28 (talk) 03:27, 4 September 2024 (UTC)

The season 4 article has been turned into a redirect, but there is a season 4 draft you can help improve. Mjks28 (talk) 05:03, 4 September 2024 (UTC)

There's barely any production info in this main article, that should be expanded before creating any further articles. Pinging @User:Youngforever who declined drafts. Indagate (talk) 08:02, 4 September 2024 (UTC)

I agree, and am currently working on expanding the production sections. It would be great if you could help add to it in any way you can. Mjks28 (talk) 08:17, 4 September 2024 (UTC)
