The Defender (Studio One)

  • ... that The Defender, starring Steve McQueen and William Shatner, was called "one of the best dramas of the so-called Golden Age of Television"? Star Tribune: "The biggest treat tonight, though, is a quality blast from TV's past: a 43-year-old episode of Studio One on TV Land that is one of the best dramas from the so-called Golden Age of Television ...

Template:Ping What I liked about alt 0 is that it focuses on the unlikely and little-known pairing of two future pop icons (McQueen and Shatner) in a drama considered to be one of the best from the Golden Era. I thought that was pretty hooky. If you prefer to go in another direction, we could focus on the fact that it was the first time a live drama was divided for broadcast over multiple nights, cliffhanger style. Maybe something like:
* alt 1... that Steve McQueen and William Shatner starred in The Defender, the first live television drama divided for broadcast on separate nights, "leaving audiences dangling on the cliff"?Cbl62 (talk) 19:00, 8 October 2020 (UTC)
  • As you can tell, I like a good quote, but both of the hooks can readily be modified to eliminate the quotes:
  • alt 2 ... that The Defender, starring Steve McQueen and William Shatner, was considered "one of the best dramas of the so-called Golden Age of Television"?
  • alt 3 ... that Steve McQueen and William Shatner starred in The Defender, the first live television drama divided as a cliffhanger for broadcast on separate nights?
Any of the above are fine with me. Cbl62 (talk) 19:24, 8 October 2020 (UTC)
ALT2 is better. We don't need Template:Tq because that's close paraphrasing and anyway plenty of people call it the Golden Age of Television. But who is doing the Template:Tq here? One newspaper article? Please try to get away from the promotional language in your hooks. I'm striking the unused ones. Yoninah (talk) 20:24, 8 October 2020 (UTC)
Why not go with alt 3 then? Cbl62 (talk) 21:16, 8 October 2020 (UTC)
Any of the proposed hooks, including 3a, are fine with me. Cbl62 (talk) 22:41, 8 October 2020 (UTC)
  • Symbol redirect vote 4.svg Well, that's nice. But we want to get something hooky AND verified on the main page. Template:U, would you mind helping out here? Is ALT3a hooky/verified? Is anything hooky? Thanks, Yoninah (talk) 23:28, 8 October 2020 (UTC)
FWIW, and while I'm still ok with any of the hooks, I think alt0 and alt1 are the strongest. Cbl62 (talk) 23:38, 8 October 2020 (UTC)
I'll unstrike them. But you have five other hooks just like them, and readers and editors will start getting tired of your promotional quoting. Yoninah (talk) 23:45, 8 October 2020 (UTC)
