Andy Griffith in 1955
  • ... that The New York Times' review of No Time for Sergeants (1956) questioned whether Andy Griffith was "versatile enough to qualify for other important roles"? Source: [1]: "Andy Griffith was ideally cast. He has not been seen on television before and it cannot be said at this point whether he is versatile enough for other important roles." For those not from the US, the "hookiness" comes from the fact that Griffith went on to become one of the greatest stars in the history of American television.
    • ALT1:... that No Time for Sergeants was the TV debut for "bat-eared actor" Andy Griffith (pictured)? Source: The New York Times quote above confirrms the TV debut. The "bat-eared actor" part comes from this review.

Otherwise, QPQ is done, length, date, other referencing and neutrality are good. I'm not a NYT subscriber but hook number 0's supporting ref is taken on good faith. Hook ALT1 is verified. I like ALT0 better without an image. This 1955 bat-ears image of Griffith would be an appropriate addition, especially to raise the value of the ALT1 hook.

Thanks, User:Binksternet. I beefed up the Production section and added in-line citations. I think the photograph you suggested would be a fine addition. Cbl62 (talk) 02:03, 2 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Okay, referencing is fixed nicely. Article contains this new image with alt text. ALT1 with image is preferred if image slot is available, ALT0 otherwise. Binksternet (talk) 04:48, 2 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
