Fansite

The only cited source is a fansite that carries a disclaimer disavowing all relationship to the network, the show, or its producers, and disavows accuracy in its presentation of information. In addition, the statement which the source is cited to support is not clearly supported by the site itself, and relies on original research and interpretation of the raw uninterpreted data presented on the fansite. The source should be deleted, and the ref templates changed to "unsourced". 12.233.146.130 (talk) 01:02, 1 January 2013 (UTC)

Fate of McMillan and Wife

You might want to have the article discuss the fate of McMillan and Wife: in its final season (1976), Susan Saint James left the show, and it was accordingly retitled simply McMillan. In addition, co-star Nancy Walker left to star in her own sitcom The Nancy Walker Show for Norman Lear, and her housekeeper character's duties were taken over by the character's sister, played by Martha Raye. Finally, that same year co-star John Schuck's role was greatly reduced as he bacame busy starring in the fantasy sitcom Holmes & Yoyo, for McMillan producer Leonard B. Stern, as an android/robot poilceman. Thus, the series was reduced from the four "main" characters it had had to essentially just one of them, a significant void for the audience. 2601:545:8201:6290:D568:DEC8:F84:4B53 (talk) 03:27, 3 January 2020 (UTC)

This is already discussed in the McMillan & Wife article (and for all I know, you might have been the editor that added it there). The focus of this article is the wheel format, not the backstage drama of one of its elements. It would give undue weight to one single part to include it here as well. 2603:9001:4500:1C09:1B8:80D9:AFFE:9292 (talk) 15:20, 5 October 2024 (UTC)

NBC Friday Night Mystery

The article lists what shows were "supposed" to be part of the NBC Friday Night Mystery in 1993, but doesn't actually indicate which of them actually became part of that series, nor how long the Friday Night Mystery lasted. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 04:41, 28 January 2023 (UTC)

Came to say the same thing. It’s been over a year and a half since the wording was challenged and no change. I don’t see any evidence that the listed productions were not part of the lineup. I move that the sentence be rewritten to remove the implication that something different occurred. 2603:9001:4500:1C09:4594:1277:45A9:F4BC (talk) 14:12, 5 October 2024 (UTC)

[EDIT] Nm, I ran down the cited sources. Apparently CBS vetoed NBC’s usage of the “Janek” character. In addition to removing the ambiguous statement, Janek should be removed from the list and mentioned afterward. 2603:9001:4500:1C09:4594:1277:45A9:F4BC (talk) 14:34, 5 October 2024 (UTC)

[EDIT2] This whole section was a mess because the editor misrepresented his cited sources. Having read those sources, I have made the changes I suggested above, removed hyperbole, inaccuracy, and some nonsense about a feud between networks that had nothing to do with this article. 2603:9001:4500:1C09:1B8:80D9:AFFE:9292 (talk) 15:07, 5 October 2024 (UTC)

Addition to NBC WEDNESDAY MYSTERY Wiki page

This link connects to another NBC WEDNESDAY MYSTERY show skipped over by prior contributes. "Search (American TV series) - Wikipedia" https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Search_(American_TV_series) 208.125.160.250 (talk) 20:39, 28 January 2023 (UTC)

If you’d actually read that article, you would know that everything you wrote about it is false. The only thing that Search had in common with the NBC Wednesday Mystery Movie was that they both aired Wednesday nights. 2603:9001:4500:1C09:4594:1277:45A9:F4BC (talk) 14:05, 5 October 2024 (UTC)
