I decided to work on the article focusing on the show, “A Different World.” This is hands-down my favorite show, so I figured there would be much I could add to it. At the moment, Wikipedia has rated this article as a Start – Class article, but when I looked at the article, it honestly had much more information about the topic than I had hoped.
The article is already packed with much information, but it does focus it’s writing on “A Different World” as just being a spin-off to “The Bill Cosby Show.” I think this diminishes the overall feeling of A Different World.
When I looked through the article, I was able to pinpoint some areas that could be more developed, or added completely. For one, the article didn’t talk about the evolution of the theme songs used throughout each season. Another area that is lacking is more discussion surrounding some of the most impactful episodes. For example, I looked around to see what the highest rated episode was, and it was Season 5, Episode 14’s “The Cat’s in the Cradle.” I think this would be a great addition to the article.
Lastly, the article has a section titled, “Impact on African-American Culture,” with just 1 sentence attached to it. My goal is to add more to this section and add new depth to the article as a whole. I want to do more research in order to fill this gap in order to reflect how the TV series affected the population of HBCU students. I also want to add more visual representations to make the article more enjoyable to read.
