- Summary:
- "TV finales fascinate us because they bring universes to an end--in the case of long-running shows, very complicated universes--exposing in the process our cultural obsessions, our 'reading' practices, our imagined identities, our fascination with television. This volume brings together the work of 63 scholars in 71 essays, each essay discussing a different television finale"-- Provided by publisher.
