Notified:

Issues were raised under WP:FARGIVEN back in 2021 and largely seem unaddressed. Main concerns are citation style and source integrity.

Lack of sourcing in "Cast" section.
"Accolades" table is extremely huge and indiscriminate, and laden with [citation needed] tags.
Unreferenced sections in "20th anniversary version".
Inconsistent ref formatting:
- Reference 14 (Den of Geek) is missing publisher
- Reference 16 (Production notes DVD booklet) is incomplete, and I'm not sure if it's usable as a source
- Reference 28 (The Reunion DVD) is incomplete, and I'm not sure if it's usable as a source
- Reference 37 (Inside the Actors Studio) is incomplete
- Reference 45 (Billboard) is incomplete
- Reference 52 (The New Yorker) needs a page number
- Lots of other sources are horribly formatted: missing publishers, inconsistent formatting with other sources, etc. To keep this from being an overly tedious list, I'm not going to include every last one.
What makes the following references reliable sources?
- Reference 24 (Rediscover the 80s)
- Reference 36 (Movie Locations)
- Reference 81 (an advertisement)
- Reference 84 (ET Kuwahara); citation is also incomplete
Reference 177 (Golden News) is a permanent dead link.

I checked mostly for sourcing issues, so I haven't done much digging on prose quality.
