Seinfeld (season 2)

Nominator(s): --Music26/11 14:16, 6 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I am nominating this for featured list because I think it meets the FL criteria. All the concerns of the previous FLC have been taken care off and the article has been expanded a little further.--Music26/11 14:16, 6 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

"The Bet" in the reception is a disambig link.

Fixed.--Music26/11 19:03, 6 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Speaking of the reception section, seems a bit thin. Isn't the "Master of [His/Her/My] Domain" episode one of the most famous Seinfeld eps out there, along with The Soup Nazi? Are there no real reviews of eps out there?

I'll search for some critical reviews.--Music26/11 19:03, 6 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, I searched, but most reviewers combine season 1 with season 2, and usually review the show in general, maybe someone with access to LexisNexis or something like that can help, but I can't find anything useful.--Music26/11 20:32, 6 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

David Fuchs (talk · contribs) has access to LexisNexis. Dabomb87 (talk) 21:25, 6 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I could send him a message, but do you really think reviews are necessary, I mean look at Seinfeld (season 3), Lost (season 1), Lost (season 2); The Simpsons (season 1) doesn't even has sections.--Music26/11 10:22, 8 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

All of those lists you named were promoted a year ago (or more). Our "best work" should be comprehensive. Dabomb87 (talk) 16:11, 8 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I've send him a message, though he said it could take while.--Music26/11 10:54, 10 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

What's the status on this? Dabomb87 (talk) 16:50, 16 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Still waiting.--Music26/11 22:26, 16 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Alright. I'll take a look at the episode summaries tomorrow. Dabomb87 (talk) 03:44, 17 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Still no news from David, but I found some sources myself, its not alot, but I think it will do, what do you think?--Music26/11 12:56, 17 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Oh wait, why is there "Master of his Domain" stand up on the DVDs if it's a season 4 episode? Staxringold _talk^contribs 17:13, 6 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Some of the extras have names, the commentaries, for instance, are called "yada, yada".--Music26/11 19:03, 6 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Any data on viewership #s like Neilsen (sp?). Staxringold _talk^contribs 17:12, 6 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I'll add some.--Music26/11 19:03, 6 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The Nielsen Rating/Share of each episode is included on the DVD set, however, I can't add them to the table, because it is a special kind of table designed for Seinfeld lists and an extra aux can't be added. If anyone can change this I'll add the numbers.--Music26/11 16:18, 7 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I've added the Nielsen Ratings info.--Music26/11 14:56, 8 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Resolved comments from Diaa

Comments --Diaa abdelmoneim (talk) 16: 38, 12 August 2009 (UTC)

"Production" is rather "Crew" and "Cast" and should therefore be split in those two sections since it doesn't handle the Production itself.
General Production information would be nice.
"Reception" is more "Awards". Reception should have info from critics.
Main problem is the lack of information. It should be significantly expanded in most sections.--Diaa abdelmoneim (talk) 16:38, 12 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I did about everything you asked. The reception problem was brought to my attention above, I've contacted David Fuchs (talk · contribs) for help with finding sources, but he stated it "could take a while". (You can check my talkpage if you don't believe me.)--Music26/11 12:49, 13 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I'll rename it "Ratings and awards" for now.--Music26/11 13:13, 13 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

"Tom Cherones directed all episodes of the second season." should be "of the season".--Diaa abdelmoneim (talk) 18:41, 15 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Done.--Music26/11 19:23, 15 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

"Series co-creators Larry David and Jerry Seinfeld wrote eight the season's episodes." should be "wrote eight of the ..."--Diaa abdelmoneim (talk) 18:41, 15 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Done.--Music26/11 19:23, 15 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

"Though the season did not feature any recurring characters, it did feature appearances from character who would re-appear later on the show." This sentence should imo be skipped.--Diaa abdelmoneim (talk) 18:41, 15 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I rephrased it because I think the section needs a sentence like this.--Music26/11 19:23, 15 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

There is no problem of having redlinks in the article of some what notable people like Barney Martin, Liz Sheridan, Len Lesser and Marc Herschfield--Diaa abdelmoneim (talk) 20:24, 15 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Done.--Music26/11 20:35, 15 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Isn't there any info about the production of the Season? If new sets, lighting or camera technique were changed.... this is mostly available from the dvd's commentary.--Diaa abdelmoneim (talk) 18:41, 15 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Yeah, but I don't think its enough for a section.--Music26/11 19:23, 15 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  - If some info are available you can expand the crew section with it and retitle it production.--Diaa abdelmoneim (talk) 20:24, 15 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
    - Good idea, I'll work on that.--Music26/11 20:35, 15 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Done.--Music26/11 12:56, 17 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I think having the Episode number as first column would be best, maybe also with production code and series number.--Diaa abdelmoneim (talk) 20:24, 15 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Fine with me, but I'm really clumsy with episode tables, so you should do that yourself.--Music26/11 20:35, 15 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I fixed the first three seasons, change the colors if you like...--Diaa abdelmoneim (talk) 19:21, 17 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Could u calculate or find out what the Viewers numbers in millions was?--Diaa abdelmoneim (talk) 20:24, 15 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- I could try, but it would be to roughly, but I'll look around some more on the DVD set for some additional ratings info.--Music26/11 20:35, 15 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Done.--Music26/11 12:56, 17 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Could u add the same to the table? Or at least how many housholds in total Nielsen rating was counting the percentage of?--Diaa abdelmoneim (talk) 19:41, 17 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not sure the first paragraph in the Episodes section fits. Most Season articles only have the second one. Try to merge it into another section like Production or something.--Diaa abdelmoneim (talk) 19:41, 17 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
1. Moved.--Music26/11 19:53, 17 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Many grammar errors are there so please read the list carefully and fix them, I'll look into it again later. For example "400,000 deluxe gift sets sold a week in advance were sold out before the week ended." doesn't make sense. --Diaa abdelmoneim (talk) 19:41, 17 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
1. I'll search for them.--Music26/11 19:53, 17 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
The DVD section should include info about media like VHS before the release of the dvds. I mean it was only release 13 years after the original run which should include at least a VHS released.
1. Trust me, I've searched for it, but it appears the show was never released on VHS.--Music26/11 19:53, 17 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
The DVD section should also have sales information like position in the market at the release and how many units sold in the first day, week, month and year...--Diaa abdelmoneim (talk) 19:41, 17 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Generally great expansion have been done. So Good work.--Diaa abdelmoneim (talk) 19:41, 17 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

1. Where am I supposed to find this info, I mean, I was lucky to find the stuff about the 400,000 units that were sold out in advance.--Music26/11 19:53, 17 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Support, the list meets all FL criteria with previous issues adressed.--Diaa abdelmoneim (talk) 06:57, 20 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Note FLC is currently short of reviewers; please consider reviewing one or more on the nomination list if you have not already (this message is being posted to all running FLCs). Dabomb87 (talk) 23:21, 14 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Dabs; please check the disambiguation links identified in the toolbox. Also, I noticed the expansion, and will review later today or tomorrow. Dabomb87 (talk) 14:34, 17 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Done.--Music26/11 17:22, 17 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Comments from Dabomb87 (talk · contribs) Sorry for delaying so much. I think it will be easier if I make edits myself, and post comments here when necessary.

The alt text for the cover image is pretty good, but it omits information about the words at the top.

I know, but how do you the describe the yellow sort of flat circle-like thing behind the word Seinfeld.--Music26/11 12:56, 21 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The background really isn't that important. I improved the alt text. Dabomb87 (talk) 23:30, 21 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Filming of the show moved from Desilu Cahuenga, in Hollywood, California, to CBS Studio Center, in Studio City, Los Angeles, California." So were these both filming locations, or was the Hollywood Studio for only the previous season?

Only the first season was filmed at desilu cahuenga, I changed it a bit.--Music26/11 12:56, 21 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

"Helen and Morty Seinfeld, who had previously appeared" Both of them, or just the latter?

Both of them, should this be clearified?--Music26/11 12:56, 21 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Yep, I did this. Dabomb87 (talk) 23:30, 21 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I'll get to the episode summaries tomorrow (promise!) Dabomb87 (talk) 02:42, 21 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

"Cherones said that Padnick reacted relieved and they both discussed the problem with Charles" "reacted relieved" doesn't make sense. Dabomb87 (talk) 23:28, 21 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
"Ironically, a woman at the party does to Jerry what George had planned to do" Vague. Dabomb87 (talk) 23:40, 21 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
"They question her, and Elaine walks away and loses the wager." "They question her" sounds strange here. Dabomb87 (talk) 23:42, 21 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
"George, who lacks pay phone etiquette, " What does the "pay phone" phrase mean here? Dabomb87 (talk) 23:43, 21 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
What are the air dates and DVD release dates sourced to? Dabomb87 (talk) 23:53, 21 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Fixed all your comments.--Music26/11 11:43, 22 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Is Amazon considered reliable for release dates? What makes ezDVD reliable? Dabomb87 (talk) 21:52, 22 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Frequently, when you try to find refs for DVD releases other than region 1, you'll get in trouble. The issue was briefly discussed during the House FAC (bottom of the page), in which Amazon.com and EzyDVD were doubtful refs.--Music26/11 23:04, 22 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
