• Mad Men 6.8: Dr. Feelgood and Grandma Ida
  on May 19, 2013 in John F. Kennedy The Sopranos John Hamm Aaron Staton Matthew Weiner Mad Men
  There's always at least one insane show on Mad Men, sometimes two, in which all hell breaks loose to the point where you and the characters don't know who's dreaming what, or if it's really a dream at all.  This is one of Matthew Weiner's signat...

  on May 14, 2013 in Revolution television

• Mad Men 6.7: Merger and Margarine
  on May 13, 2013 in Mr. Selfridge Robert F. Kennedy Mad Men television
  It occurred to me, watching the superb Mad Men 6.7 tonight - right after Mr. Selfridge on Masterpiece Theater - that for people who weren't cognizant in the 1960s, watching Mad Men must be not much different than watching Mr. Selfridge, which takes p...
