I am so sorry for the delay in the review. I put my name down a while ago to review the article and completely forgot until now. Overall, it's a great article and I only have a few queries and minor issues to raise.

In the lead, mention the release years of Say Anything... and Bottle Rocket so the reader gets an idea of where these slot into the rest of his career.
His parents, Dorothy and Edward Brooks were both Jewish salespeople (his mother sold children's clothes, his father furniture) - there should be a comma after his parents' names and a semi-colon instead of a comma after "clothes".
to together with MTM Productions create a series for his wife Mary Tyler Moore - kind of clunky; maybe switch the word order to "to create a series together with MTV Productions". Also unclear whose wife Mary Tyler Moore is.
which generated it high ratings - makes better sense as just "which generated high ratings".
NBC picked it up, but the ratings remained low and dropped it after one season - "it was dropped after one season".
it won three straight Outstanding Comedy Series Emmys - "three consecutive", maybe?
Give some kind of time frame for Brooks' work on The Associates, just for clarity.
He channelled this ambivalence into Broadcast News - personally, I don't see the need to wikilink ambivalence here.
Again, in the last paragraph of "Film", give years for Say Anything..., Jerry Maguire and Bottle Rocket.
Ref #15 leads to a legit but blank page on the Fox Flash site.
Ref #26 seems to be missing attribution to The New York Times.

I'll place the nomination on hold, so you have a week to make changes or address any queries. Good luck :) —97198 (talk) 10:49, 5 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Well done. All the changes look good, so I'll go ahead and pass the article. —97198 (talk) 14:11, 6 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
