Biography

The section that is "Burnett was eight years old ... remains unclear." seems to be opinion rather than NPOV. Comments? --Silverhand 17:47, 7 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I was going to say the same thing.--Teiladnam 06:27, 15 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Career continued

The section that reads like it was written by Burnett himself. How about less self promotion and flattery?

I've just inserted an Advert box on it, since I don't have the time to edit myself just now. Prosequimur (talk) 13:49, 9 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Personal Life

The section on his ex-wife seems irrelevant to his biography. All of that information about her (the entire paragraph really) should be taken off and some of it put on her page. The sources seem inaccurate and poor. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.133.78.100 (talk) 17:57, 5 October 2011 (UTC) This template must be substituted.[reply]

As "her page" does not exist, that sugestion is moot. However, as the two were married long enough to have two sons and create business ventures together, some cited mention of his first wife would be approproiate. A trimmed version has been returned. I suggest it be expanded, as this marriage reflects the formative years of Burnett's notability. We do not write about a forest fire without also writing about who struck the match.

Irrelevant information

"Burnett has won four Emmy Awards and four People's Choice Awards. Burnett and his reality series have been spoofed on Family Guy, American Dad, and MADtv, as well as parodied on YouTube.

Burnett has worked with Jeffrey Katzenberg, Steven Spielberg, Tom Cruise, Oprah Winfrey, Dr. Phil, Christina Aguilera, Usher, Shakira, Adam Levine, Blake Shelton, Cee Lo Green, Martha Stewart, Sarah Palin, Jeff Foxworthy, Samuel L. Jackson, and Donald Trump, among others."

What the fuck do these lines have to do with anything? They're just self-aggrandizing bullshit. Oh, parody/comedy shows make fun of things that are popular? YOU DON'T SAY? Where is the editorial oversight here? Get your shit together. This is not an article in Us Weekly or the guy's personal resume, it's an encyclopedia entry. 50.89.174.229 (talk) 04:08, 20 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
