18-49 rating

Please see this section of the Go On talk page for my reasons for reverting the removal of the 18-49 rating in the episode table. -- Tvwatchdog (talk) 09:03, 14 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

First US comedy starring a South Asian America.

First, the two sources for this are anything but reliable sources. A blog (which I got a 404 error trying to pull up) and a comedy routine?

Second, it is not the first comedy series starring a South Asian American character--- The tv series Outsourced had lead roles with Indian Characters.

This series may have een the first CREATED by AND STARRING, which is what the comedy source indicates.108.92.199.90 (talk) 00:00, 1 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The lead actor from Outsourced was white, he was the star of the show. As for the sourcing, not really sure if they're reliable.Caringtype1 (talk) 03:24, 1 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
The lead doesn't say "lead role" it says "starring". In outsourced, you had several characters of Indian decent in starring roles. And again, a defunct blog and a comedy show are NOT reliable sources.38.100.76.228 (talk) 16:04, 1 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
The article says "...starring a South Asian American series lead". The Outsourced characters were all supporting roles. You need a better example.Caringtype1 (talk) 16:22, 1 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Deleting "Awards" Section

I'm going to delete the Awards section for now, as it's verging on puffery. It needs to be re-worked, if included at all. Examples: TMP did not solely "win" Most Exciting New Series at the "Critics Choice" awards; it was one of several shows honored in that category. Awards for which the show was "nominated" may merit inclusion in an Awards section, but "pending" awards surely do not, to judge by other page. --Thumpress (talk) 05:25, 1 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I kept the People's Choice and WGA nominations, as they merit inclusion. --Thumpress (talk) 05:35, 1 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Add the section back, it isn't puffery (there is proof that shows the show was nominated or awarded) and change the title of the section to "Awards and Nominations". Also even though TMP wasn't the only on to win the "Most Exciting New Series" award at the "Critics Choice" awards, it still counts as an award(It is written that this award was shared at the bottom of the section). Just like it does on many other Wikipedia pages. Example: New Girl. FYI Pending means the show was in fact nominated and is waiting to see if it had won the award yet. Also, tell me if I need to add a reference to the awards TMP won. Thanks! :) BBINDFAN (talk) 22:17, 6 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
