This is the talk page for discussing improvements to the Mother Tucker article.
Article policies
Good article Mother Tucker has been listed as one of the Arts good articles under the good article criteria. If you can improve it further, please do. If it no longer meets these criteria, you can delist it, or ask for a reassessment.

As of today, there are no references to this episode title on the official Family Guy website. There are references at Planet-FamilyGuy.com, the Family Guy fan wiki and TV.com, so hopefully I've not been led astray on this one. Cromulent Kwyjibo 23:02, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

As of today, familyguy.com -> Upcoming Events -> Upcoming Events -> September confirms that the September 17 episode is indeed titled "Mother Tucker." Cromulent Kwyjibo 16:59, 29 August 2006 (UTC)

I definately see a lot of KLSX in WQHG, but, are we certain that this isnt based on an east coast station with a similar format? The only show I realy see that would fit the one on family guy is Conway and Whitman or John and Jeff, neither of whom do mornings.

[edit] Censoring

I noticed that in the episode on Adult Swim, the audio from when the sausage launcher thing launches at the girl and she says "that one felt like my dad" is edited out, but the wierd audio sounds "incest in the morning, 97.1, SUPPRESSED MEMORIES" is still in there

^Its true. The Fox rebroadcast of this episode has that part dropped. I just saw it on TV and noticed it was missing.--Ragemanchoo 03:54, 1 December 2007 (UTC)

Missing from the UK DVD too. Rehevkor (talk) 01:51, 25 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Song request

During the sequence where Thelma & Tom are treating Peter as a child a version of Barbra Streisand’s ‘Medley’ is playing. Does anyone know who is the artist of this version? Joneboi 04:09, 23 September 2006 (UTC)

Ok, I found what I was looking for. The song is called "Give Me the Simple Life" perfomed by June Christy. [1] Joneboi 08:24, 23 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Mother Tucker

“This title parodies a swear word. The trick is to replace the ‘T’ in Tucker with an ‘F.’ ” Doesn’t that sound stupid?—172.200.29.195 19:14, 30 May 2007 (UTC)

It sounds less stupid than the previous version, which was “This title parodies a swear word. The hint is to replace the ‘T’ in Tucker with a ‘F.’ ” Felicity4711 00:05, 31 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Phrase Reference

I've noticed the reference at the end of the episode to a phrase in a The Simpsons Episode ("Deep Space Homer" 1F13) when Quagmire and Cleveland are shown in the radio station and after their intro the announcer voice says "In Rod We Trust", which happens to be the same phrase on the Time magazine featuring the inanimate carbon rod in The Simpsons episode mentioned above - Kranis00 02:27, 18 July 2007 (UTC)

Mh, thanks for pointing that out! However, there is no comment about this on the DVD, nor does there seem to be one available on the internet, so that means adding it in without a reference would be making a mockery of the policy. Thanks anyway, Qst 21:33, 12 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] GA review

Here are some suggestions for you, by section, to work on while the GA is on hold.

  1. . Some more wikilinks would be nice, some portions could have used them.
  2. . The plot section is a little long, but I'm presuming that it's all essential, so don't cut it down if it'll have a detrimental effect on the article.
  3. . In the Reception section, I wasn't sure if certain things were quotes, please check and put quotation marks as needed.
  4. . The repetition of "Iverson also commented..." in the Reception section was way too repetitive, try using some synonyms.
  5. . There are still some statements left unreferenced, please check that at least all numbers/statistics and quotations are cited.

That's basically it, I'm fixing the grammar/spelling/capitalization, and the article is on hold for 1 week, otherwise it automatically fails. Regards, Neranei (talk) 21:57, 26 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] In response

  1. Wikilinks → Y Done
  2. Plot section → Y Done (only a bit, as most of it is valuable information)
  3. Reception section quotations and repetition → Y Fixed [2]
  4. A few unsourced statements → Y Referenced — if there are any more, please contact me, rathering than failing it, please.

[edit] GA Passed

[edit] Successful good article nomination

I am glad to report that this article nomination for good article status has been promoted. This is how the article, as of October 21, 2007, compares against the six good article criteria:

1. Well written?: Yes, you did well cutting down the plot section.
2. Factually accurate?: Passed
3. Broad in coverage?: Passed
4. Neutral point of view?: Passed
5. Article stability? {{{stable}}}
6. Images?: Passed (nice ones too.)

The only suggestion I could give is to make it a little bit less in-universe. It was a little confusing at first with all of the names, so I suggest that you work on it, but that's it. If you feel that this review is in error, feel free to take it to Good article reassessment. Thank you to all of the editors who worked hard to bring it to this status, and congratulations. Regards, Neranei (talk) 17:04, 27 November 2007 (UTC)

Thank you, Neranei. This review has been most helpful for improvements of the article :) Qst 17:33, 27 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Stewie Flashback

Does anyone know what the scene with Stewie acting as a church figure is referencing? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.180.85.70 (talk) 18:01, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Cultural References

I just thought I'd add another movie reference. When Stewie plays the "Don't you do it" sound on the radio it's a direct quote of Richard Gere as Zach Mayo in "An Officer And A Gentleman". Kurisu rs (talk) 14:19, 24 May 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for participating in the encyclopedia, but most cultural references which are added have to be removed, unfortunately. Family Guy articles see a lot of unreliable, unsourced and poorly-written additions of cultural references. The only decent reference to use for cultural references is if they're talked about in the DVD commentary. Websites such as TV.com and the Internet Movie Database are trival, and thus inappropriate. Feel free to discuss. :-) Qst (talk) 14:23, 24 May 2008 (UTC)
Is there any rule defining or actually banning "trivial" websites, or did you just make that up? DarthSquidward (talk) 00:00, 27 May 2008 (UTC)
