• The lead should be expanded a little to include more background information about the episode. I like the way people are writing up the articles on The Office with a note about where its broadcast, some brief background on the show, the subplots, and a little more detail about critic responses.
• Is there a promotional image we can use for the infobox?
• Repetition: "The episode originally broadcast on April 27, 2008. The episode follows Brian... "
• Plot section: It would help if you put the voice actors in parenthesis after the characters they perform.
• Confused by this sentence: "The episode was written by one of the season's co-executive producer Steve Callaghan,..."
• "The episode marked the first appearance of Brian's son Dylan, voiced by one of the shows main voice actors Seth Green." -- This needs a reference.
• Also with the above, it implies Dylan shows up again in a subsequent episode. Does he? If so that will need to be clarified.
• It might also help to include a little on the deleted scenes you mention in the DVD release.
• You mention the guest actors in the infobox, but their roles there are not cited. Would be best if you added the roles next to the names in the "Production" section.
• I believe "Evil Monkey" appears in this epidsode, which should be included in the "Cultural references."
• The article is missing information on the market share and viewership when it first aired. This will need to be added and sourced.
• Dup links tool returns one result: "Brian Griffin."
• Checklink tool is showing minor issues with several links, see if you can fix them.
• Dablink tool returns no problems with disambiguation pages.

I am placing the article on hold pending the above improvements. —Ed!^(talk) 04:45, 17 December 2012 (UTC)

I reviewed the article 10 days ago, and pinged the editor seven days ago. Having seen no response in terms of either edits or a response, I must fail the article for GA. It will need to be renominated once it meets the criteria. —Ed!^(talk) 13:56, 26 December 2012 (UTC)
