ABC Announces Series Finale Dates for Modern Family and How to Get Away with Murder


#ViolaDavis #ModernFamily #HowtoGetAwaywithMurder #ABC 
It’s the end of an era — times two!
ABC announced the series finale dates for two of the network’s most beloved shows on Wednesday: Modern Family and How to Get Away with Murder.
Modern Family will air its series farewell episode on April 8.
The sitcom, which premiered in 2009 and has run for 11 seasons, quickly became a fan-favorite and has won five Emmys for outstanding comedy series.
“I will probably miss the people the most, from Modern,” star Sarah Hyland previously told PEOPLE of what she will miss the most about the show. “Our crew is amazing and, of course, I love our cast, they are very special people.”
How to Get Away with Murder, meanwhile, will air return for a six-episode farewell event on April 2. The drama is currently in its sixth and final season.
Star Viola Davis became the first woman of color to win an Emmy in the lead actress category in 2015 for her role as professor Annalise Keating. She also has been honored with two SAG Awards, a People’s Choice Award and an NAACP Image Award for the role.
The final season has followed Annalise’s class through their last semester in law school — while the deception, fear and guilt binding Professor Keating to her students prove deadlier than ever.
“That job gave me permission to see all my womanhood. I am a product of a culture that has dictated who I am, a dark-skinned black woman with lips and a nose and a deep voice,” Davis said. “So all of a sudden this character, Annalise, comes in like a whirling dervish, and she’s all of it. She’s messy, almost sociopathic, sexual, mysterious, highly intelligent, a big personality. She’s all of those adjectives that are not associated with me, and I’ve got to play her.”

Why Christopher Reeve's ''Superman' Is So Hard to Leave in the Past

#ChristopherReeve #Clarkkent #DCcomics #LoisLane #RichardDonner #Superman Forty years ago, Richard Donner and Christopher Reeve made a Superhero film that directors have been chasing for years, depicting who America was then — or at least who we wished to be Superman. It’s now easy to believe a man can fly. It wasn’t in 1978, but today, in midst of an explosion of superhero movies, it’s a belief we give into with relative ease. Flight is most often the bare minimum of what we expect from heroes and villains who can perform any feat limited only by the human imagination. It’s not simply special effects that permit our belief, but rather an overall acceptance that these costume-clad characters are a defining part of our culture, modern myths at their best and populist cinematic staples akin to the 20th century western at their lowest form. There have been a record nine theatrically released superhero movies based on comic books this year alone, each claiming a major piece of the glo...
