Hope

Maybe someone could ad Hope as a character? It's her story after all.... Names of the actress-twins playing her: Baylie Cregut and Rylie Cregut — Preceding unsigned comment added by 195.14.207.239 (talk) 17:37, 7 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Ratings

The list of List of Raising Hope episodes include ratings for each episode, with references. The main article includes a table with the ratings for season 1 episode 1. Underneath it is a mess of ratings that have not been referenced or been formatted to fit into the table.

The table should either be filled out to list the ratings for all episodes or it should be turned into prose, perhaps analysing and actually saying something about the ratings, are they good or bad, rising or falling?

I'm not a fan of tables, it is too much like data instead of prose presenting some interesting knowledge. I'd be more likely to remove it than spend my time adding to it so if editors want to keep the table they should comment soon. -- Horkana (talk) 05:02, 11 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

No one interested in dicussion the section so I removed most of it for now and provide a proper reference for the ratings of the first episode.

Table wasn't properly explained. Unclear how the season can be given a rating when it isn't even over. Unclear why a table is even necessary, what point is it trying to make, prose would be preferable. -- Horkana (talk) 00:13, 12 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

When the season is over the ratings table could be added back but if it there is good reason to include it before then please do explain. -- Horkana (talk) 23:37, 6 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

International broadcasts

The Wikipedia Television article guideliens don't give much advice about "Intrernational broadcasts" sections, they don't seem to be encouraged at least. This is English langauge wikipedia, it is hard to WP:VERIFY a long list of international broadcasters in non-English speaking countries, the information also quickly becomes WP:DATED. At the absolute minimum any information in this section shoudl be properly verified.

Most importantly the international broadcast information is rarely WP:NOTABLE. It not notable to say that Fox network broadcasts a Fox show in an international Fox channel. If you look to good television articles like The Simpsons or Friends you will see that in some cases very big deals are made to secure the rights to certain shows for international broadcast and this gets substantial press coverage. I think it it is best to only mention the most WP:NOTABLE and properly verified international broadcasts, so I've removed much of the International Broadcast section. -- Horkana (talk) 17:30, 29 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Concept

Could there be a connection between the concept of this show and the film Raising Arizona? Both are in a similar, off-kilter vein. Perhaps a connection by the creators? Call for Wikipedians to do some research.

Wikipedians don't do original research.68.196.93.32 (talk) 01:18, 4 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedians collect pertinent data from reputable sources with the intention of presenting it as a cohesive article on a subject. What pray tell is your definition of research? There is a distinctive difference between researching a connection for inclusion in this article (from reliable sources) and orginal research.

References to My Name is Earl

There are multiple references to Garcia's previous show, My Name is Earl, in Raising Hope. Should these be talked about? For example, "Barney Hughes" is called "Kenny" by Jason Lee's character (Smokey Floyd), which was Binkley's character in MNiE, alongside Lee. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.65.195.230 (talk) 04:09, 14 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah I've been thinking about putting that section in; never really got around to it. Akihironihongo (talk) 06:16, 14 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
