Five reasons Making History was cancelled too soon
TV Calendar

1. Leighton Meester's return to television

This Gossip Girl queen returned to television after being on broadway in Of Mice and Men. But her character, Deb, is nothing like her most well-known role, Blair Waldorf. She plays a kind-hearted woman from the 1700's, and just happens to be Paul Revere's daughter. When she falls in love with a time traveling janitor he brings her with him to 2017.

2. Adam Pally

If you loved him on the Mindy Project you'll love him even more in Making History. He plays a college janitor that uses a time machine his father created to go back in time for his own benefit until his friend Chris and girlfriend Deb get involved and he can fix the past to benefit the present.

3. John Hancock and Sam Adams


These reoccurring characters are one of the funniest parts of this comedy. Most of their jokes about early America actually tend to poke fun at current events.

4. References


When the main character, Dan, begins time traveling he originally uses it just to use songs and movie quotes from the present to impress people in the past. Throughout the series Dan, his friend and co-worker Chris, and Deb Revere travel to different periods of time such as Chicago 1919 so that they could bet on the World Series.

5. It ended with a cliff hanger


*Spoiler Alert* In one of the final episodes of the one and only season a reporter begins investigating Deb and Dan when she finds out they are running an ice cream shop purchased by John Hancock and Sam Adams, while they are visiting 2017. Now we will never know what happens.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
