After the high drama of “Mystery Date," Mad Men keeps the heat on with “Signal 30.” Desperate for new clients, Lane tries to secure Jaguar, via an acquaintance of his. Pete’s unhappiness with his life and marriage takes a turn for the worse, while power struggles at SDCP come to a head.
Following a slowly-paced episode, Mad Men is back at it with multiple intriguing plotlines. And despite the popularity- and even fake twitter account---“Fat Betty Francis," is nowhere to be found in this episode full of big confrontations and violent thematic elements.
The second episode of Mad Men’s fifth season aired last night, with Jon Hamm taking over as both director and lead actor. In a solid-to-occasionally-great episode, Season Five’s still-forming primary theme seems to be that of change—both the rampant social/political/cultural changes of the 1960s, and the inevitable changes (including death) brought on by aging—as Don is...
It’s been a big week for Matthew Weiner—not only did the creator some little show on AMC call Mad Men score record ratings on Sunday night with the MM fifth season premiere (I’m still humming “Zou Bisou Bisou,” by the way)—he just snagged Owen Wilson and Zack Galifianakis to star in his big-screen directorial debut,...
The long-awaited fifth season premiere of Mad Men (check out our review here) contained a bevy of memorable scenes, from the introduction of race as a primary theme, to Don Draper’s post-birthday meltdown—but there was one moment that even the characters in the show couldn’t stop talking about afterward: Megan’s (Jessica Pare) slinky/ bizarre performance of...
Well, Mad Men fans, it’s been over a year, but your wait is finally over—MM is finally back, having launched its fifth season premiere on Sunday night, a slow-moving, two-hour episode that eased us back into the world of Sterling Cooper Draper Pryce. “A Little Kiss” takes us to Memorial Day 1966, wherein two collisions occur in this double-sized episode: that of the...
This week the Academy added The Muppets and Cirque du Soleil to its Oscars telecast. We'll have the chance to see acrobatic dancers perform, and best of all, Kermit the Frog and Miss Piggy.

Now that Breaking Bad is off the air, it’s time to focus on our other television obsession -- Mad Men. Recently, series creator Matthew Weiner spoke about the show's dramatic return and its unexpected ending. Warning: Several spoilers regarding Mad Men's series finale are after the jump!
Well, last night was television's big night, the 2011 Emmy Awards, in which the luminaries of the small screen gathered together to pat each other on the back, stare vacuously on the red carpet before the show, and proceed to make horribly, horribly unfunny jokes before arbitrarily handing out awards.
There’s been a deluge of Mad Men news of late—between AMC forcing the show’s fifth season into production with or without creator Matthew Weiner to Weiner and AMC finally coming to a compromise concerning product placement and episode length, it’s been a rollercoaster of a month for Mad Men fans. And now, there comes a bit of payoff...
Well, knock back a scotch and loosen that tie a little bit, Mad Man fans, as it’s time to rejoice—the protracted contractual bickering between Mad Men creator Matthew Weiner and the AMC network have come to an end.

Everybody's favorite arthouse Blockbuster hits shelves this week as Natalie Portman's oscar-winning role in Black Swan dances its way onto DVD. But that's not all for the art film set.

As the battle between Mad Men creator/ showrunner Mathew Weiner and AMC continues—AMC wants Weiner to agree to “integrating product placement into the series, cutting 2 minutes from each episode's running time in favor of more commercials and eliminating/reducing two regular cast members to save money,” according to Deadline, while...
When we last left Sterling Cooper Draper Pryce, going into the finale they'd lost Lucky Strike, fired half the staff, and variously shown that all of them except Pete Campbell, Pete Campbell of all people, and Bert Cooper lacked a spine in some respect or another. How do we cap that off? Oh, "Mad Men" knows how to do just that. Be warned, this is going to be a spoiler-heavy...
Last week, Sterling Cooper Draper Pryce took the bad news of Lucky Strike leaving about as well as you'd expect. They had to start looking for more business, and figure out how to contain the fallout. How's that going?
Last week on "Mad Men," Roger got some terrible news about his one account, Lane got a beat down courtesy of dear old dad, and Don nearly made another bad decision. Do things get any better for the crew this week? Not so much! Check out our review and see what happened...

Jon Hamm just scored big with Ben Affleck's The Town. Not only are people enjoying it, but it's also making big money at the box office -- it came in at number one this weekend. But now, Hamm has something new to look forward to, and it's not "Mad Men,"... not yet anyway. His movie Howl, directed by Rob Epstein and Jeffrey Friedman, is...
