On Her Campus.com/kean an  article titled "Pretty Little Liars" Halloween Episode Shocks" was published on Nov.9, 2013 . On the "Pretty Little Liars" season 3 Halloween episode, a shocking secret is revealed and it is that Alison is alive!


"Ali spotted the person walking towards them and she quickly disappears like a ghost. The person who walks out with a flashlight was not the former A, Mona, neither was it Toby.

It was Ezra, Aria's teacher! Once Ezra meets the girls, he mentions to Aria that she left her phone and he looks behind the girls, for of course Ali," said Leach.

On www. hollywoodreporter.com, they have an article titled " Downtown Abbey" :TV Review", written on Jan. 2, 2014 by Tim Goodman. In the article Goodman basically explains how the seasons have been very predictable and boring.

" After all, part of the appeal seems to be escapism for Americans who want a costume drama mixed with our weird fascination with the British class system. So if you're hoping the good folks from the village rise up with pitchforks and torches to burn Downtown to the ground, you'll have to wait at least until the seventh season", said Goodman. 

3. "Mad Men"

On www.thedailybeast.com, there is an article titled " 'Mad Men' Season 6 Review: Triumphant, Lyrical, and Way Extistential", written on April 3, 2013 by Jace Lacob. In this particular quote, Lacob explains how Penny comes in like a whole new and strong woman.

" When we meet up again with Peggy in Season 6, she's a far different woman than that naive girl at the start of the series. A demand for fresh coffee, delivered with both a grimace and a surprising insouciance, is one indication of just how far she's come, now that Peggy is the one holding the power," said Lacob. 

4. "Bonnie and Clyde" movie

On the website www.hollywoodreporter.com, they have an article titled " Bonnie and Clyde: TV Review", written on Nov. 6, 2013 by Tim Goodman. Goodman picks on everything about this show just like with "Downtown Abbey." In one quote he expresses how the story does not move forward and how he criticizes Bonnie's personality. 

" Was Bonnie the driving force in the story because all she ever wanted to be was famous? Because of that, is she inherently more evil than Clyde ever was a self-centered girl propped up by her mother's conviction that the world was overlooking a real talent?," said Goodman.
