Neutrality/accuracy of character descriptions[edit]

The descriptions of the characters cast the characters in a negative light, and overlook their good and redeeming qualities that are what make us love these characters. In additon, some of the facts are wrong. For example:

The description of Bill uses the weasel words "often perceived" in characterizing him as a lazy overweight Homer Simpson type. I don't see him that way, so if this article is going to make that assertion this should be backed up with a reference to a critical review.

Bill Miller isn't the main breadwinner for the family - I think Judy makes more than he does as a dental hygienist.

Brian has friends, so I wouldn't call his social life "poor". Perhaps he aspires to be more popular and part of the in-crowd.

Calling Lauren a "typical irritable, hormonal, and spoiled teenage older daughter" is pretty harsh, and I think dismisses her as a person. "Typical" means nothing, as it is a subjective and therefore relative concept.

Danny is " Bill's best friend for the rest of the show". Since when?

In general, I just think the tone needs to be changed so the reader can see the characters for who they are. Steve carlson 04:14, 10 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I would guess Judy probably makes more than Bill the toilet salesman, but on your other points I don't see why this qualifies the article for a neutrality dispute. Going one by one:

1. Everyone loves Homer Simpson. I'd never heard that reference before, but it's a fair comparison as he too is lazy and overweight. Why are you using the words 'weasel'?

2. Brian does have a lame social life compared to, say, Lauren's. The parents are always picking on him about it, saying they never expected him to lose his virginity. His band was a barbershop quartet. Perhaps it could be worded better.

3. Lauren is typical. Remember the episode where she's depressed and they didn't want to believe it- "...yeah, she's a teenager~" What other words would you use? She's portrayed as most teenage females in our society (i.e. sitcom society) are.

5. This just means that Fitz wasn't credited as a main character until seasons 3 and 4.

I think this does need some cleaning up, which I will work on. But it's not so bad as to be biased. --Nelliebellie 03:34, 17 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Photo needed for the article[edit]

Does anyone know how to navigate Wikipedia's convoluted copyright process so we can have a photo of the cast on the site? Thanks! --Shannontakita 14:42, 23 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Trivia[edit]

In the episode, "Still Drinking", Linda jokes that Brian's middle name is "Hops" and Lauren's is "Barley"; both references to Bill and Judy's love of beer. -- Just a joke or are the names legit? (good addition to the trivia section if they are; and does Tina have a similar middle name?) vmz 02:12, 18 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Does anyone know where the house shown as the Millers' house (exterior bumper shots) is actually located? Looks like it could be in a Chicago suburb. 71.201.236.104 22:49, 18 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Brian Miller[edit]

Why exactly is there a totally separate article only for him. I mean there probably wouldn't be much a problem if there was one just for him. A Lone Gamer 23:32, 20 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

IMDB summary[edit]

Summary for Still Standing on IMdb.com http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0320970/plotsummary

"Meet Bill and Judy Miller, a toilet salesman and a dental assistant, two high school lovers who turned in their wild lifestyle to get married years ago. Now, as they creep toward middle age, they have to deal with more "everyday" things, such as their three kids: their intelligent and (to Bill's horror) still sexually-unsure son Brian; their typical drama queen daughter Lauren; and their smug, sarcastic six year old, Tina. With Judy's desperate man-hunting sister Linda, Bill's interfering mother Louise, a lesbian couple living next door and other crazy characters around, it's no wonder that Bill and Judy constantly get into strange (and oft-hilarious) misadventures as they try to prove that they're not too old to have fun. Along the way, they always end up showing that they "still" love each other, no matter what. Written by ADDYADDICT "

I changed Judy's age from late to mid thirties since they have high school kids only and so if she were in her late thirties that means that she didn't have a teenage pregnancy, when the show says she did. So I changed it from late to mid. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.235.221.255 (talk) 02:05, 15 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Dvd Release[edit]

does anyone know when this cums to dvd —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.73.84.85 (talk) 14:18, 11 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Can you guys PLEASE cite any crtitical reception intel without using just one reviewer?[edit]

I mean, just using one reviewer kinda defeats the purpose. Weedle McHairybug (talk) 23:05, 16 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I suggest we protect this article[edit]

People keep vandalizing it and saying Warner Bros. Television produced this series, which isn't true. Like sister series Yes, Dear this was a co-production between CBS Productions and 20th Century Fox Television with 20th Television as the distributor. Warner Bros. never was affilated with this show. Matthew Cantrell (talk) 14:11, 20 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

To whomever is vandalizing this page.[edit]

Please stop, 20th Century Fox produce this series not Warner Bros. Entertainment. I have all 88 episodes and Fox is listed as the copyright holder. If you keep vandalizing this page I will continue to change it. Matthew Cantrell (talk) 00:28, 9 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
