Talk:Jonathan Harris
[edit] Untitled
The article, as someone else points out, is a mess. There are repeated sentences, and many run on sentences that make no sense.

I'm wondering if this article should reference the imdb.com page for Jonathan Harris, because that's where a lot of this information appears to have originated.
Regards, --61.9.204.61 28 June 2005 12:20 (UTC) May just as well do that hence the sourcing for the fairness of it. I grew up with Lost in Space...:-) Jonathan Harris was one of the most talented actors to ever live. I especially enjoyed his role in "The Twilight Zone".
This is kind of a mess. In particular, these 2 sentences stick out: Midway throughout the first season, due to Harris' popularity on the show, he rewrote the dialogue, in favor of Allen, who gave him carte-blanche to become a writer. He in turn, also stole the show, mainly via a list of alliterative insults which soon worked their way into popular speech.
Who is the 'he' who re-wrote the dialogue? I assume the "Allen" is Irwin Allen who is mentioned further down, but what does the phrase "in factor of Allen" mean? It implies the re-written diologue highlights Allen. Allen gave who carte blanche to become a writer? (and 'carte blanche' should not be hyphenated and probably should be italicized.
It would be good to have a few examples of the referenced 'alliterative insults'.
I took out second external link (fortune city) but then reverted because that site does have some useful content on Jonathan Harris. However, using that site is a real nuisance because, as like some free webhosting sites, it has adserver running and the site is heavily overlaid by the host. Unfortunately, only one of the sidebars (Photot) is functional on the site and when you click on comments (I wanted to alert the author) it brings up a fortune city comment page etc. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.146.97.227 (talk) 21:54, 31 August 2008 (UTC)
