Why the M*A*S*H Series Finale is Still The Greatest Of All Time
There's nothing more hotly contested than a series finale. After investing years into a show, people are hoping to get the ultimate payoff. Some series finales fall short (check out my article on that here) and some rise up and actually elevate the series. While shows like Six Feet Under, The Shield and Breaking Bad have had incredible finales, nothing holds a candle to how M*A*S*H ended. When the 2 and a half hour series finale aired, it was the most watched episode in television history. There are many reasons it is the greatest series finale in history. “Goodbye, Farewell and Amen” encompassed what everyone loved about M*A*S*H. It had some very funny moments but also had one of the saddest moments in the show's history.

'Person of Interest' Role Cements Michael Emerson as One of TV’s Hottest Actors
Photo Credit: Genevieve Athletics not really an option for tv actor Michael Emerson as a kid growing up in Iowa, the after school activity left to him was the Midwestern tradition of speech and debate. He’d enter state and local contests and eventually got involved in drama clubs before deciding to study theatre at Drake College.

New TV Adaptation of His Dark Materials Arriving This Year
BBC One is joining forces with New Line and Bad Wolf Productions, the very talented Julie Gardner and Jane Tranter, to create an eight-part TV event of Philip Pullman’s His Dark Materials Book Trilogy. (You may recognize these two as former producers of Doctor Who.) His Dark Materials are often better known as The Golden Compass, (or Northern Lights if you’re from the UK) The subtle Knife and The Amber Spyglass. Although this was originally announced in 2015, the mini-series has been gaming headway with the announcement of a sequel to the much-loved trilogy. While Harry Potter & The Cursed Child brought a new range of readers to the Potterverse, this TV adaptation is sure to garner more fans for His Dark Materials.

Books About TV Shows by Pop Culture Critics
There has never been such a saturated television landscape as there is now, and the variety of TV shows that exist only continues to grow exponentially. If you're anything like me, you appreciate the episode post-mortem almost as much as the TV show itself (slight exaggeration, but I digress...).

5 Disney Channel Original Movies and the Awful Lessons They Teach
Some of my favorite childhood movies were the Disney Channel Original Movies, (DCOMs). When I think of DCOMs I think of movies like High School Musical and Halloweentown, fun movies that have great moral lessons. If you're like me and you rewatched some DCOMs instead of going to class in college, you noticed that some of the movies have weird messages. For those of you that are productive members of society and don't have time to rewatch old Disney Channel movies, here's a list of the movies with particularly bad lessons.
