The first sentence should explain the premise, genre, setting and significance of the show. A good example of an introductory paragraph is seen in the M*A*S*H television series article.

"Inspired by the 1970 20th Century-Fox film of the same name, M*A*S*H (Mobile Army Surgical Hospital) is an American television series about a team of medical professionals and support staff stationed at the 4077th MASH in Korea during the Korean War."

It should be noted that the title of a television show is styled with italics (e.g. M*A*S*H) while the title of an episode is styled with quotation marks (e.g. "Pilot").

Depending on the length of the article and the complexity of the show, the introductory paragraph(s) can contain several more sentences which elaborate on the series. The following information can be included in the introduction:

What made the show unique Years on the air Premiere date Channel of original airing/production Production companies Principal characters Influence Place in popular culture Major Awards Spin-offs Music or Theme This section is usually reserved for "original-run" information, sometimes with additional US/UK information in case the series is not of US/UK origins. Lists with International broadcasting information, or syndication information is often not desired here.

References to the show should be in the present tense since shows no longer airing still exist.

Critical reviews

Holby City and Casualty have been combined under the slightly clumsy heading, Casualty@Holby City, for occasional one-offs and a brief series of specials, but it is rare for characters from one show to appear in the other.[1]

The Daily Record, in a feature on the British launch of Lost series three, discussed the possibility of a Lost and [Desperate Housewives]] crossover, commenting that: "It'd be like Casualty @ Holby City - only watchable."[2] Paul English, the journalist behind the feature, once also commented that the union of Casualty and Holby City for the "Christmas 2005" special amounted to little more than "Two turkeys for the price of one."[3]

Xmas 04 - "It can be quite difficult to tell these medical drama twins apart. After all, they're both rubbish."[2]

The People: "There's something weirdly thrilling when these two medical shows collide."[2]
