Don Draper is no longer Mad Men's hero. That honor now belongs to Michael Ginsberg, the young Jewish copywriter whose work has already upstaged Sterling Cooper Draper Pryce's longtime brilliant creative director.
The Beatles may be the most important band of the 20th century — and feel free to debate that in the comments, even though you're wrong — but their recordings have been notably absent from the TV landscape. Aside from live performance footage, when was the last time you heard a Beatles song used on TV?
Carrot Creative — Jaguar USA's real-life ad agency — decided to have some fun at Don Draper's expense (and make themselves look extra savvy in the process) by "mailing" a snarky consolation letter to the offices of Sterling Cooper Draper Pryce, offering their "deepest condolences" to Mr. Draper for the fictional…
Andy Cohen's three ring circus of a talk show is usually only fun because it's live television and anything can happen. But, tonight his guests were the lovely Rashida Jones, from NBC's Parks and Recreation, and the dashing John Slattery, of AMC's Mad Men and it turned into a pretty fun half hour. Here's a highlight.
There's probably a logical explanation for this, right? Either way, Turkey's Jewish community is none too thrilled about seeing Adolf Hitler in a TV ad for shampoo. Biota Laboratories, the company that makes Biomen shampoo, has refused to take the commercial off the air, explaining that it's "humorous." But as we…
Above is the Mad Men Season 5 premiere moment that had everyone talking immediately (never change, Internet, except to update yourself every few seconds). It's the performance of "Zou Bisou Bisou" (originally performed by Gillian Hills in 1960) by Don Draper's wife, Megan (Jessica Paré) at her husband's 40th…
For those of you who needed another reason to crush on Jon Hamm, the Mad Men star joined the ranks of legitimate TV actors ragging on reality TV personalities. His targets: Kim Kardashian and Paris Hilton.
Jon Hamm stopped by the Late Show with David Letterman tonight to ostensibly promote his new film Friends with Kids, but the conversation turned, naturally, to Mad Men, which premieres in just over three weeks. Who's excited?
Last night while taking refuge from the Super Bowl I tuned into the second episode of Luck, HBO's new horse racing show. I fell asleep, just as I did during the first episode. Yes, I know this is supposed to be a "slow burn," but how long am I supposed to wait before feeling the heat?
On Friday night, moody Mad Men creator Matthew Weiner had a public discussion in L.A. to talk about all sorts of things. Grantland, the site no one wants to admit that they're reading religiously, was there to jot down his thoughts, including how Mad Men will end.
I can imagine last year at the Emmy's when Mad Men won for the third year in a row that all the networks execs were sitting around thinking, "We need to get us a Mad Men!" What came out of that thought is ABC's Pan Am, but their sweet '60s nostalgia lozenge isn't anywhere as easy to swallow as the original.
Wow, those Emmys sure were a stinker, weren't they? Not only did they fall into the same old Emmys trap of giving the same awards to the same people, but the show itself was a complete dud. It was slow and dated and every opportunity for excitement landed with a great thud.
It's late August, and there is nothing on TV except for Big Brother and crappy reruns. What the hell are you supposed to watch before the new TV season starts in September? We're here with some suggestions for DVD/iTunes/Netflix marathons that will have you glued to your couch.
Jared Gilmore, the third to play Bobby Draper on Mad Men, on his TV mom: "Be careful around January [Jones]. She's not as approachable as the others. She's really serious about what she does. Everyone else is so nice."
AMC and Sony TV have reached an agreement over methtastic drama Breaking Bad: A final 16 episodes will be shot consecutively and aired, potentially, over two more seasons. Now we can all love Mad Men again! Yay! [Deadline]
The traditional opening credits for Mad Men are all angst and existential brooding over ominous music, but what if the theme song were more like something you'd listen to at a swinging '60s cocktail party? Now we know what it would be like.
You can't say the Emmy nominations are ever shocking, but there were a few delightful surprises this morning when they were announced. All the usual suspects got nods, but a host of new shows cracked into the competition.
Poor Chord Overstreet! The Glee actor's option to become a series regular wasn't renewed for a second season. The bloated show sure needed to get rid of some of the dead weight. This got us thinking: Surely there are some other shows that could use a bit of pruning, no?
A favorite from The Wire seems ready to ascend to new heights with a new role. Also today: the (once-again) return of Jason Patric, the bold ideas of Randy Jackson, and the baby movie to end all baby movies.
