Making History (2017)

FOX’s Making History debuted during a unique peak for time-travel television, yet it distinguished itself through a commitment to high-concept absurdity and sharp social commentary. Produced by Phil Lord and Chris Miller, the series used a magic duffle bag to bridge the gap between contemporary life and the American Revolution. Though it lasted only one season, its footprint remains in how it deconstructed the sanctified image of the Founding Fathers. By featuring Leighton Meester as a progressive Deborah Revere, the show offered a subversive take on historical tropes. It remains a cult classic for its refusal to take the past seriously, highlighting the chaos of human nature across centuries.
