TV Review: Mad Men 4.5: The Chrysanthemum and the Sword
A team of three is beginning to become very plainly clear to be the real heart and minds behind SCDP and one of those three doesn’t even have their name on the sign. Don, Lane, and Pete are clearly the movers and shakers of the firm and if anyone doubted Pete before they can not […]
TV Review: Mad Men 4.4: The Rejected
Longing was the word of the night in the world of Mad Men, except if your name was Pete Campbell. From Don longing to get off the phone with Lucky Strike in the opening scene, Allison looking through that two way mirror, or Peggy’s entire arc for the episode that simplest of human emotions was […]
TV Reveiw: Mad Men 4.3: The Good News
I think a better title for this episode would have been, “Don and Lane’s Excellent New Years Adventure.” That segment last night was hands down the funniest seven minutes or so of Mad Men in this viewer’s opinion and was a brilliant addition to an already terrific season of Mad Men.

The show picks up almost a year after the coup of Sterling Cooper, and the formation of the new Sterling Cooper Draper & Price. With their swanky new table-less offices, full of […]

(Spoilers Throughout) This season of Mad Men has been described as slow, boring, character driven and even mediocre […]
Mad Men Episode 3.1 Review
The third season of Mad Men began last night and the results were just what we want from a series premiere in the middle of the show’s run. (Spoilers here in for the episode) I will say I find it rather interesting that the show reset some of the characters back their more original selves […]
Emmy Nominations
So, Emmy Nominations are out and 30 Rock leads the pack with 22 nominations. The comedy series which is by no means a ratings leader is critically successful and gets a lot of viewers in coveted ad demos (as well as NBC’s other successful Thursday comedy The Office). Mad Men also picked up an almost […]
