Hello everyone. This article is about a short-lived UPN sitcom that follows three childhood friends as they attempt to navigate life after graduating college and each fall for an attractive, new neighbor. Aired as a mid-season replacement, this show aired for only three weeks in March 2002 before being canceled likely due to its abysmal ratings.
Unsurprisingly, The Random Years has fallen into complete obscurity, but for whatever reason, I do enjoy work on articles about more obscure media and I find UPN's attempts to establish a brand and maintain an audience to be fascinating. This is my ninth nomination for a UPN series and my first since 2019.
I have received a very helpful GAN review from @ MaranoFan: and some very helpful comments in the peer review from @ SatDis: and @ Pseud 14:. I would greatly appreciate any feedback on how to further improve the article. Thank you in advance. Aoba47 ( talk) 02:34, 5 October 2022 (UTC)
I PR'd this article and had my comments/points addressed during the process. Support -- Pseud 14 ( talk) 16:16, 5 October 2022 (UTC)
Before I give it a through read, just asking. Is it common practice mentioning the running time of the episodes? For some reason, to me it sounds very essential information, at least the mean average for the entire season if not for each episode separately. Sitcoms generally run for a half hour (if not less) but who knows. Shahid • Talk2me 00:47, 8 October 2022 (UTC)
Where does Levesque criticize the show's lack of diversity? I only see an aside that a different show, As If, gets "bonus points" for including a Black cast member. I'd also clarify in the lede what kind of diversity dearth is being criticized, i.e., lack of ethnic diversity. Altogether, in both sources, it does not present as a prominent criticism, so curious why it warrants mention in the lede? czar 22:22, 9 October 2022 (UTC)
@ FAC coordinators: Apologies for pinging you. I was just curious of the status of the nomination. Is it being kept active until the standard three-week time period? I was wondering because activity on this nomination has dropped off for some time and the nomination is continually moving down the list. I just wanted to make sure there was not something I was missing or could do to help with the nomination. Thank you in advance. Have a great rest of your weekend!
