Reference to Patrick Meighan[edit]

The link is to a musician with the same name. No indication that he is a writer on FG. ?? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.72.54.162 (talk) 18:01, 24 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Patrick Meighan, as he is currently described in that specific artlicle, is a different Patrick Meighan. So he should not be linked in this article. Gage (talk) 20:42, 24 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I'll review this article shortly. Wizardman _{Operation Big Bear} 23:46, 2 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Just looking at other Family Guy articles from season 8, it is evident that a lot more work needs to be done on this one, as it's not close to GA quality. Here are some issues I found:

"It received positive reviews from critics for its storyline and many cultural references." and yet there is no cultural references section to speak of.
"Quagmire realizes that Anna Lee's new parents treat her importantly and decides to leave her with them." treat her importantly sounds odd; perhaps 'treat her well'.
"The episode was written by series regular Patrick Meighan, and directed by Jerry Langford, before the conclusion of the eighth production season." cite should be added, plus this feels lacking. Any info on others involved in making the episode?
You state that the episode received generally positive reviews, yet you have one positive and one negative. Perhaps add a third review to make that more apparent? it would give some meat to that section as well.

The prose and everything else isn't too bad, but the fact that a big chunk of what makes a Family Guy show article just that is missing; as a result I will have to fail this article outright, since it would likely take some time to get that going.

Just want to say that I opposed the nomination of this article for these exact reasons, as evidenced by the talk page, in which I was reverted at least three times. Good job Railer-man. Gage (talk) 01:26, 4 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
