GA concerns and title sequence section

I am concerned that this article no longer meets the good article criteria due to uncited text, particularily in the "Title sequence" section. I think this section might be too much information, and not necessary for the article. Taking it out would also help reduce this article's word count, which at 11,000 words is considered WP:TOOBIG. Is it alright if I remove this section?

There's also uncited prose elsewhere in the article which should be referenced. Z1720 (talk) 20:22, 23 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The "Title sequences" section is problematic: it quite long, might give undue weight on this aspect of the show compared to others, and is largely uncited. There are also uncited statements elsewhere in the article, and several sections are quite long with one-sentence paragraphs that can be written more efficiently with longer paragraphs. Z1720 (talk) 23:19, 26 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I think that whole title sequence section can be binned off wholesale as it's just WP:TRIVIA. Whilst there's definitely bits that need cleaning up other than that, I don't think it's not doable. Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 00:12, 27 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
