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.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
