Lead

• Note A should probably be prose instead  Done
• I don't think the scrapped title should be bolded but I'm not certain  Not done

Since it is a title, I think it needs to be bolded, but to be honest I’m also not sure. I personally think it’s fine to keep it bolded

• Can you condense the lead down to three paragraphs?  Done

Plot

• Ref b should be prose, currently it looks like a loophole to keep the word count down  Done

Production

• I think the image could use a better caption  Done
• I think it could use more direct casting information, ie "Justin Lee reprised his role as Annyong. He recalled..."  Done
• State that no movie was made  Done
• It was stated that it was written as a series finale, it’s unclear if the series was cancelled before or after the episode was written. If it was before can you explain why they wrote it that way  Done
• "thus including many references to prior episodes" most episodes do this though?  Done

Omitted

• State that Howard was an ep and the narrator  Done
• Mention Ann  Done
• Infobox says "Jeff Garlin as Mort Meyers (uncredited)" since he was uncredited this needs to be cited in the body

I could not find a source for him being uncredited, so I have omitted it from the info box. I was able to source in Production that he did make an appearance, however

Themes and analysis

• "similar to the humor style of Monty Python" give context to what Monty Python is  Done

Release

• [2006 Winter Olympics] [opening ceremony] is an MOS:SOB error  Done
• "it aired as the conclusion to a four-episode marathon that day where the preceding three episodes aired directly before it." this is oddly worded  Done
• Can you expand how it did compared to other broadcasts in its time slot?  Done
• "by 0.04 million" could be "40 thousand" instead  Done
• I'd drop the "Future" subheading as the "Future" in question is 2013  Done (changed to Revival)
• "Arrested Development was soon revived" I wouldn't say seven years is soon  Done
• "behind the previous by 40 thousand million" huh?  Done

Fixed

Reception

• "SlashFilm" should be "/Film"  Done
• Drop the accolades subheading as it only got the one nom  Done
• "at the 58th Primetime Emmy Awards for "Development Arrested" -> "at the 58th Primetime Emmy Awards"  Done
• "Jon Weisman, another Variety writer" he's the only Variety writer mentioned, also link Variety (magazine)  Done
• For the non contemporary reviews can you list the year of publication  Done

References

• Spot checks don't flag anything
• Why is ref 24 reliable per WP:IBTIMES?  Done

Changed
