This article is in decent shape, but it needs more work before it becomes a Good Article.
Is it well written?
A. The prose is clear and concise, and the spelling and grammar are correct:
In the Production section, "It was shown in a time slot between two fifth season episodes of Daniels' popular series The Office", you might want to remove "popular", per
here. Do the same in the Reception section. Same section, "According to a report that was leaked to the television journalist Nikki Finke", remove "the", it doesn't flow well with the sentence. In the Cultural references section, this ---> "A complaining member of the public at a parks meeting", reads very odd.
Throughout the article, link "Paul Schneider" and "The Office" to their correspondence articles. In the Production section, you might want to change the title of "The Michaels Scott Paper Company" link. Do the same in the Reception section. In the Reception section, italicize "Kath & Kim", since it is a television show. Same section, I'm mixed with this; I believe "The Office" should be italicized, even though it links back to "Michael Scott". I'm not sure.
A. It contains a list of all references (sources of information), presented in accordance with
the layout style guideline:
In the Reception section, "Robert Bianco said the episode was not funny, and way in which the scripts and supporting cast ridicule and ignore the Leslie character leaves a "sour whiff of gratuitous cruelty", the source should be mentioned after the quote has concluded, per
here. Also, Reference 18 is missing Publisher info.
Check.
B.
Reliable sources are
cited inline. All content that
could reasonably be challenged, except for plot summaries and that which summarizes cited content elsewhere in the article, must be cited no later than the end of the paragraph (or line if the content is not in prose):
I think I got them all. I didn't find any bad links for The Office, but otherwise I think I got everything. Let me know if I missed anything, or feel free to fix it yourself if you like. Thanks! — HunterKahn(

I fixed two minor things. Overall, everything checks out. Thank you to Hunter K. for getting the stuff I left at the talk page, because I have gone off and placed the article as GA. Congrats. ;) --

The Office
In the article about "The Office" it says that the US series was "adapted" by Daniels. However i in this article and the summary about to go on the main page it says that he "created" the series. Isn't this a bit strong being as most people believe it was "created" in the UK?

UK debut
It might be worth mentioning that season 1 has recently begun being aired in the UK, where it seems to have been generally well-received. JH (

Oops! I somehow failed to see that this article was specifically about the pilot episode, perhaps because it had never occurred to me that a single episode of a TV series could merit its own article. JH (
