I give up...

If you people want to keep putting in the wrong distribution company on FOX produced show, fine so be it, I don't care anymore, even though Disney owns FOX and its subsidiaries this and other FOX shows are STILL distributed by 20th Television Distribution, NOT Disney. Disney may have combined the operations of 20th Television and Disney Domestic Distribution but 20th Television still exists as a separate entity (subsidiary of Disney) to distribute FOX and FOX syndicated show. I put my hands up and declare that I give up! In the words of Eric Cartman from South Park, Screw you guys I'm going home. YborCityJohn (talk) 02:17, 5 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

As the info was sourced only to IMDb, I have removed it in accordance with WP:RS/IMDb. If and when a better source is provided, we can reevaluate it. DonIago (talk) 03:22, 5 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you User:Doniago. I have faith in the Wikipediaverse again. :0). YborCityJohn (talk) 01:54, 6 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I accept PayPal and Venmo. :p #kidding DonIago (talk) 03:52, 6 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Include past renewal info?

Hey guys! I was wondering if you guys think we should include info about past renewals. Is it still as relevant considering seasons 18 and 19 have already aired? — MilesShriv (talk) 14:07, 23 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I've removed these from the lead per WP:NOTNEWS and WP:RECENTISM. The show was presumably renewed over and over on Fox, yet that is not in the lead, and it would be turgid to read if every one was. I guess we can have the most recent season as to show that the show is still active, but it's odd to have just the last four. Unknown Temptation (talk) 22:07, 19 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Article issues and classification

There are a few issues found while reading the article. It is a B-class article and the criteria states:

#1)- The article is suitably referenced, with inline citations. It has reliable sources, and any important or controversial material which is likely to be challenged is cited.
#2)- The article is reasonably well-written.

The article is listed in the categories:

Articles containing potentially dated statements from November 2013
Wikipedia articles that are excessively detailed from December 2020
Wikipedia articles with style issues from December 2020
Articles needing additional references from July 2022

The Adult Swim "External link" seems to have some plot summaries. These don't seem to add anything unique or adding to "further research" that cannot be found in reliable sources.

Added together these could trigger a reassessment and possible downgrading. -- Otr500 (talk) 15:15, 13 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Unsourced quote

The second paragraph of the "Editing, completion, and deadlines" has an unsourced inline quote which is unacceptable and needs correcting.

See: The second paragraph of the lead of Wikipedia:Verifiability: [[tq|All material in Wikipedia mainspace, including everything in articles, lists, and captions, must be verifiable. Additionally, four types of information must be accompanied by an inline citation to a reliable source that directly supports the material: direct quotations}}MOS:QUOTE, and WP:QUOTE. -- Otr500 (talk) 15:42, 13 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
So, give it a CN tag, and if nobody provides a source for the quote, remove it? Or, if you want to be bolder, just remove it? This doesn't seem like something that needs a thread here? DonIago (talk) 16:41, 13 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
