LGBT Category

What's the reasoning for putting this back in the LGBT-related TV programs cat? It seems to me like there's only one "token" gay character, which wouldn't really fit the criteria for "LGBT-related". -- SatyrTN (talk | contribs) 13:29, 12 July 2007 (UTC)

  • "This category includes television series...which deal with or feature significant lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender characters or issues and may have same-sex romance or relationships as an important plot device." Clearly the series features a significant gay character dealing with significant issues and involved in significant storylines. Otto4711 19:11, 5 August 2007 (UTC)
I agree, include it. The show's theme seems to be about the greek system with pros and cons. As someone whom was in it (I didn't like the system personally but feel it is a great system for many), I can tell that a lot of the issues here are accurate. There are some stereotypical people and then some non-stereotypical people. One issue that often is a mirky one is one of homosexuality. Pledges rarely ever openly declare their homosexuality until they are fully initiated, if at all. The show seems to be moving towards that direction IMO. Arnabdas 21:09, 22 August 2007 (UTC)

Requesting update as to future TV or already running

I watched about five minutes of this show last night. Could someone who watched the whole thing please remove the "future TV" message? Cromulent Kwyjibo 20:21, 14 July 2007 (UTC)

Article structure and cleanup

The frequent editors of this article may want to look at How to write about television programs. -- SatyrTN (talk | contribs) 02:51, 16 July 2007 (UTC)

Moving episode summaries

I'm creating a page for the episode summaries. It will be categorized to match other series' episode lists, and it should prevent this article from getting ridiculously long. Frog47 13:49, 24 July 2007 (UTC)

cast

Is it really necessary to mention that "Casey once referenced to her[Spencer] father's famous television program Frasier in an episode"? Especially at the top, before the description of Casey's character even begins? Luzzio 12:49, 16 September 2007 (UTC)

VirtualRush.com Access

I got 403 Forbidden when I access VirtualRush.com. Is the site only accessible within the U.S.? Can anyone confirm? Thanks. I suggest we put notice beside the link to avoid confusion. timdream 17:57, 13 August 2007 (UTC)

Controversy

This controversy section only has one reference which seems less as a controversy and more of one article complaining about it. Has anyone found anything else that could be added here that would make it an actual controversy? I might try and clean up this article soon and if nothing's added to it I might move the reference elsewhere in the article and remove the section altogether. Phydend 04:38, 15 August 2007 (UTC)

Delta Delta Delta has commented on the series, I've read about others but I don't have many articles right now as I'm heading for bed. Here's a few: Delta Delta Delta, [1] also a college paper so notability is in question, [2] a comment on Tri Delt's comments, etc. I'll see what I can add to this tomorrow, depending on the reliability of the sources the section can either be added or pulled. --ImmortalGoddezz 05:05, 15 August 2007 (UTC)
Alright, I did a quick search and didn't find much which is why I added the talk here. I'll see what you can add to it, and also hopefully add some stuff myself in the next few days. (Also, thanks for adding the reflist in the article, totally forgot about it when I changed the link to an actual reference) Phydend 05:34, 15 August 2007 (UTC)

Who said that "90% of viewership dropped" ? We should exclude this statement. Quoting an exact number like that needs accurate citation, not just a citation needed tag. Saying "viewership dropped" can be acceptable tho IMO. Arnabdas 21:05, 22 August 2007 (UTC)

How about the fact that the print advertising campaign features a Brady Bunch-style photoset of (presumably) the main characters of the show, many of them holding the plastic cups that have become synonymous with the rampant underage drinking in many frats/sororities? Seems awfully unwholesome for the ABC Family network to be airing/advertising. Nevermind that, y'know, underage drinking is illegal.Thebookpolice (talk) 18:25, 19 March 2008 (UTC)

naming section again

I keep seeing this section pop in and out of the article. It seems that there's an equal number who want it in and who want it out. I've reinstated it in the article for now but I believe that we need some kind of consensus on this section and we're obviously not coming to it. I'm going away for the weekend or else I'd look up how to do it now, but it seems like we need the consensus of the wiki community since the individual editors who work on this page are divided. If somebody wants to initiate that now, please do so, otherwise when I get back (Monday-ish) I will do it myself, in the meantime please leave it in the article. Thanks. --ImmortalGoddezz 18:12, 14 September 2007 (UTC)

It seems people will continue deleting sections that they feel arent useful, without posting any sort of comment or reason. I guess that is what happened to the "Name of the show" and "Trivia" sections. I'm putting the Name of the Show" section back up since I have it saved to my flash drive for whenever someone deletes it. Would someone else be so kind to put the trivia section back up?Thelegendofvix 15:20, 17 September 2007 (UTC)

I take it that means you don't know how to use Wikipedia's history feature. But before anyone tells you how to use it, think long and hard if you really feel it's important enough to argue with people about it. The trivia section would have a much steeper up-hill struggle than the naming section. Cromulent Kwyjibo 15:07, 19 September 2007 (UTC)

I know how to use the history section, its just faster to open up the file on my flash drive and hit copy/paste. Restoring it is more rewarding than arguing.Thelegendofvix 17:31, 19 September 2007 (UTC)

Cast and characters

I'm creating a new article, just for cast and character descriptions, as they are getting longer and longer on this page. Leaving extremely brief descriptions on this page and adding a link to the new character page Frog47 14:47, 16 October 2007 (UTC)
