Closures

From The Mary Tyler Moore Show to Arrested Development to BoJack Horseman , the American sitcom revolves around crises that must be resolved by episode's end, with a new crisis to come next week. In Closures , Grace Lavery reconsiders the genre's seven-decade history as an endless cycle of crisis and closure that formally and representationally frames heterosexuality as constantly on the verge of both collapse and reconstitution.
