Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Today more than ever, series finales have become cultural touchstones that feed watercooler fodder and Twitter storms among a committed community of viewers. While the final episodes of The Fugitive and M*A*S*H continue to rank among the highest rated broadcasts, more recent shows draw legions of binge-watching fans. Given the importance of finales to viewers and critics alike, Howard and Bianculli along with the other contributors explore these endings and what they mean to the audience, both in terms of their sense of narrative and as episodes that epitomize an entire show. Bringing together a veritable ""who's who"" of television scholars, journalists, and media experts, including Robert Thompson, Martha Nochimson, Gary Edgerton, David Hinckley, Kim Akass, and Joanne Morreale, the book offers commentary on some of the most compelling and often controversial final episodes in television history. Each chapter is devoted to a separate finale, providing readers with a comprehensive survey of these watershed moments. Gathering a unique international lineup of journalists and media scholars, the book also offers readers an intriguing variety of critical voices and perspectives. Given the importance of finales to television viewers and critics alike, Howard and Bianculli along with the other contributors explore endings and what they mean to the audience, both in terms of their sense of narrative and as episodes that epitomize an entire show.

DESCRIPTION - For over twenty years, our Television and Popular Culture series has been publishing award-winning titles in all areas of television studies. Television Finales: From Howdy Doody to Girls is the natural Director's Choice title this season, as it brings together more than seventy compulsively readable essays by a broad range of today's leading television scholars and critics. It represents the excellence, diversity, accessibility, and vitality that Syracuse University Press strives for in this and all its series. - Alice Randel Pfeiffer, director. The last word on TV endings. - Matt Zoller Seitz, television critic for New York Magazine. Finales are in many cases the high points of iconic television series. This carefully compiled and well-researched compendium provides a definitive explication and assessment of finales through the half century and counting of television, and will become a classic text in the field. - Paul Levinson, professor of communication and media studies, Fordham University. This book is about much more than television finales; it shows us how the final episode illuminates the entire series. David Bianculli's work is historically informed, showing his mastery of the subject. With contributors representing some of the leading lights in television studies and impressive contributions by new scholars as well, the approximately seventy essays span the scope of television. - Rhonda V.
