This article is in decent shape, but it needs more work before it becomes a Good Article.

1. Is it well written?

   A. The prose is clear and concise, and the spelling and grammar are correct:

   Well done.

I just removed the BuddyTV ref; if you have a ref for the fact that it won, doesn't that mean it was nominated? And as for the DigiGuide ref, I'll try to find a better one; if Jamie doesn't find one before me. ;-) Corn.u.co.pia ŢĐЌ Disc.us.sion 07:18, 22 July 2008 (UTC)

There's a ref. about the win at the Emmy's, I don't know if that's what you mean. Anyways, the refs. were replaced, but I just questioned the notability of the refs., but congrats, this article meets GA standards and has passed. ;) --  ThinkBlue  (Hit BLUE) 21:48, 22 July 2008 (UTC)
