Talk:The Cable Guy

message: I cleaned up this article leaving most content intact. I've accepted the following in good faith:
...with many critics claiming that the humour fell flat...
This does, however, need a reference. I'll look around for critiques, but if someone (perhaps the person who added this?) could cite a source, that'd be useful. Rob Church Talk | Desk 23:26, 22 August 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: No longer needed; I found one. A second example wouldn't hurt, however. Rob Church Talk | Desk 23:52, 22 August 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: I am removing the review from http://www.rottentomatoes.com/.  The reviewer must not have watched the movie since he mistakenly refers to Robin as Steven Kovacs' wife.  Find a better quality reviewer before saying the humour fell flat. Cafe Nervosa | talk—Preceding undated comment added by Cafe Nervosa (contribs) 21:49, 13 December 2005 (UTC)
thread_title: References

message: I yanked the following statements:
:Carrey's role was originally going to be performed by Chris Farley before his death.
:The above statement does not make sense, since Chris Farley died in late 1997, which would not have conflicted with his appearance in this film.
Keeping it in is not appropriate for a wikipedia article. Duke out the arguments on the talk page first.

replies: text: trivia section on IMDB says it was written for chris farley, but he pulled out due to scheduling conflicts (rather than death). doubt that counts as a source though. 87.113.209.220 14:38, 8 August 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Mid-article arguments 

message: This article needs to be completely rewritten from scratch. The introduction should be longer and should feature a one-line summary of the film's plot. Also, there should be an extensive overview of the film's plot, and there should be a section on how the film was received by critics, and quotes about the film from critics with opposing points of view (I.E., a critic who hated the film and a critic who praises the film), followed up by a section on how well the film did at the box office. This isn't a Wikipedia article. This is a skeleton of a Wikipedia article. Someone needs to fill in the gaps. Also, on section headers, only the first word should be capitalized, unless a specific name is mentioned in the header. For instance, "Main characters and plot" instead of "Main Characters & Plot."

message: I have to bring this up because its on tv right now.  The Cable Guy gives his name in that scene with Steven after he drops him off after seeing the dish (as Chip Douglas) but the character's name is never truly given...in fact, he is credited as "The Cable Guy" so i am changing it...Jeremys779 (talk) 06:17, 3 March 2008 (UTC)
