I can take this one. Thanks in advance to everybody who's worked on it! Comments to follow shortly. -- Khazar2 (talk) 23:14, 18 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

First, let me apologize that you've had to wait so long for a review; the backlog's really been terrible at GAN lately.

This article seems like it's off to a good start in many respects; the description of the characters is particularly well-fleshed out, and some parts are well-sourced. Other areas seem to need work, however, and it appears to me overall that this will need substantial expansion and rewriting to become a GA. You may want to look at a sample series GA like Arrested Development (TV series) or 24 (TV series) to get a sense of what's usually included.

Some specific suggestions:

The lead needs to be rewritten to better summarize the body; no new information (the show's renewal for Season 3) should be given in the lead per WP:LEAD.
Numerous short sections should be combined or expanded per WP:LAYOUT
The section "Theme Song" lacks sources and appears to be WP:OR
No critical response is included, though a Google search immediately confirms that reviews exist.
Almost no information on the show's creation/production is included, such as its inspiration, its casting, its influences, etc.
The reliability of some blog-like sources such as tvwise.co.uk should probably be doublechecked.
More information should be given in the citations of bare links, and the one that's written in French should be at least partly rewritten in English.
Episode counts for characters need citation as a statistic/figure
"Character had a major role in the most recent series (Series 2)" -- should be rewritten per WP:REALTIME; will quickly go out of date.

Since there's significant work to be done here, I'm going to close this one and not list it for GA at this time. I hope you'll consider renominating once you've addressed the above points, however--this sounds like an interesting show, and I'd love to see it get to GA. I'll do what I can to make sure it doesn't have so long a wait next time (either reviewing myself, or recruiting someone else to do so).

Thanks again for all your work, and best of luck with this one in the future! -- Khazar2 (talk) 23:40, 18 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Also, shouldn't Harry the Lizard be named as a recurring character? --82.14.248.55 (talk) 21:27, 4 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
