Doing...

Infobox

Where is the running time referenced? Try iTunes Store, Amazon.com, TV Guide, something like that
Referenced to AllRovi; they have it listed there. GRAPPLE X 23:08, 4 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Where is the production code referenced? Try epguides
Removed. I add these through force of habit but frankly I don't really know what they achieve, especially if they're all sequential. GRAPPLE X 23:08, 4 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Add "Twin Peaks (season 1)" to episode lists
There aren't actually season articles for Twin Peaks; and with only two seasons I'm not sure it's worth the effort of splitting the FL episode list into two small articles. I could just pipe the title differently if you'd prefer though. GRAPPLE X 23:08, 4 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Lede

The lede seems a bit short per WP:LEDE, particularly the third and last paragraph. Where's a plot summary, what channel did it air on, what does the show center on, etc. like "Episode 2"
Add year for Wild at Heart film
Added and bulked out. GRAPPLE X 23:08, 4 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Plot

Some paragraphs seem short. Perhaps merge some.
Tweaked about a little. GRAPPLE X 23:08, 4 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Fix citation needed tags, for direct quotes
Source is the episode itself, shouldn't need cited any more than the plot summary itself. GRAPPLE X 23:08, 4 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
"$" US dollar? Canadian dollar, etc?
Linked on first use. GRAPPLE X 23:08, 4 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Production

"The episode features the first appearance of Frank Silva as Killer BOB, though the character is not yet identified at this point. Silva was the art director for the series, and had accidentally been caught on camera during a shot. Lynch was pleased with the result and decided to include Silva in the cast from then on" short paragraph, perhaps merge
Tacked it onto the first production paragraph, which discusses the crew anyway. GRAPPLE X 23:08, 4 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Broadcast and reception

ABC → the American Broadcasting Company (ABC), as per MOS:ACRO
Got it. GRAPPLE X 23:08, 4 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
A− → "A−"
Still not sure what you're asking here; if it's about the minus versus a hyphen or dash, I pulled it from minus so I believe it's the correct symbol. GRAPPLE X 23:08, 4 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I mean a the " quotation marks around A-
Ah, fair enough. Got it. GRAPPLE X 23:28, 4 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Well, that's it. On hold; good work. TBran dl ey 22:24, 4 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the review. Kinda sucks that you got into hearing about this through the episode with the big reveal; it's a really fantastic show and you should definitely check it out. If you're in the US though, don't buy the seasons separately as the US season one set skips "Pilot" for some ass-backwards reason. GRAPPLE X 23:08, 4 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Your welcome! I'm in Canada (should be the same though, both in Region 1), I'll watch it (find it online somewhere, obviously, or get the DVD for extra features, stuff like that) Cheers, TBran dl ey 23:18, 4 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

There's a full-series set you can pick if if you find it on the cheap. It has an alternate version of "Pilot" I haven't seen that tacks the "Episode 2" dream in there and reveals the killer so it's a self-contained film. GRAPPLE X 23:28, 4 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Three words: Awesome, Thanks, Pass. TBran dl ey 01:03, 6 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
