Talk:Charity Drive

Reflexivity/Allusion

This episode also features Michael and George Michael arrested together, on their way to see the likewise arrested George, Sr. — the same three that are eventually "released" at the end of the third season.

Cameo of Claudia Schiffer

"The woman at the gate that G.O.B. flirts with by doing magic tricks is played by former supermodel Claudia Schiffer" - I am more than sure that this wasn't Claudia Schiffer. OK, she had long blond hair, but that's all.

Lead

• Too long  Done
• State how many viewers it had  Done

Plot

• fine

Production

• "and was the fifth episode of the ordered season to be filmed after the pilot." this seems unnecessarily confusing  Done

Tried to simplify

• "filmed between September 26 to 29, 2003" this makes it seem like we don't know when it was filmed  Done
• Add something about the guest characters  Done

Themes and analysis

• "politically incorrect" link to Political correctness  Done

Reception

• "In the United States..." list the network  Done
• How did it compare to other broadcasts of the day
• Link "meme" to Internet meme  Done
• Italicize "The A.V. Club" on second mention  Done
• Any non contemporary review should be marked as such
• The The Independent review improperly lists Brodsky as male  Done
• "Despite finding the previous episodes of season one to be good," why would this be a disqualifying factor?

Tried to clarify a bit better that they mean the season was already so good, an episode as good as Charity Drive was still a surprising highlight

References

• Spot checks found nothing
• Ref 2, "MEL Magazine" -> "MEL"  Done
• Ref 4 has an MOS:DASH violation  Done
• Refs 11, 13, 14 link the website  Done
• Refs 11, 14 should be marked as "subscription required" Half done

Ref 11 does not ask for a subscription upon opening it, so I only added it to ref 14
