Mad Men: As much as Don Draper steps out on his wife, he is one lucky son-of-a-bitch that the only thing broken in his house is a dining room chair. I didn’t think Betty had the balls to call him out on his philandering ways. I assumed she would have just continued to swallow the jagged little pill. I wonder what hurts her more: The fact that she knows he cheats or that he won’t admit to the cheating. Every week I’m in awe with the way this program illustrates just how much women’s roles have changed over the past 40+ years.
The other noticeable difference is in the measure of what makes a woman appealing. When did white collared men go from ogling full bodied women like Joan Holloway to licking their lips over waifs like Ally McBeal? When did being “so much woman” become too much woman?
Two questions: First, do you have the same sneaking suspicion as me that Nan Flanagan, representative of the American Vampire League, is going to end up being the “Queen of the Damned”? And second, what’s up with that damn dog??
Entourage: A little Mark Whalberg makes everything better. Not only does the show's muse make a cameo, but we also get to see Giovanni Ribisi as one half of a screenplay writing duo. Do you suppose Ribisi and Lukas Haas were portraying a pair of actually famous movie making brothers?

Dude, Jake and I caught "Mad Men" on TV last night, right as I was falling asleep and we got glued. I tried to stay up cuz I wanted to see the chick the husband was cheating with, but I had to call it a night. He , on the other hand, woke up out of bed to see the end.
Anyway, what's up with that red headed lady. I know she's supposed to represent for women coming up in the office, but she has this "Stepford Wife" quality that makes me want to slap her.
Ditto on "Entourage." Mark Wahlberg: Mmm, mmm, mmm!
x - By the red head do you mean Joan? If that's the case she is not suppose to represent women coming up in the office. In fact Joan, up until last night’s episode, has been the complete opposite. She frowned on Peggy's move from out of the secretarial pool and into copywriting. Joan is the type of woman that goes out of her way to make it hard for other women.
Saw the end of Mad Men yesterday for the first time. I wish I would have caught the entire show because it seems really interesting. I agree with you about that character being lucky his wife didn't go ape shit on him.
This week's episode of Entourage returned back to form. You gotta love Johnny Drama, you can always count on him to give you a good laugh. True Blood was pretty good as well. So far you can count on a good sex scene and plenty of blood on each episode.
Really, I guess I just assumed cuz her co-worker (a male) was going out of his way to commend her work to the guy who played the politician that liked to pee on women on SATC.
word. what happened to real women being beautiful? it is hard to understand why a man would fantasize over someone w/a little boy's body. oh, and i love me some giovanni ribisi. again, too bad i can't afford premium channels.
tvbuff - I hope you appreciate the lack of BB10 on today's post, although it will make a comeback on Wednesday's post it will be the last one for the season.
Anon - I love Drama and Turtle they are my faves of the crew.
ms. me - Thank god for Netflix and TV on DVD!!
Joan Hollaway is the hottest chick on TV.
Sometimes I wonder how much my grandparents represented the people on MadMen. From what I hear about my grandfather, he was pretty similar to Don Draper. Man, a different era.
I think that I'm going to like True Blood. I agree with you about the vampire spokeswoman, the chick is going to turn out to be some crazy vampire bitch. Maybe the dog is one of those shape shifters??? Who knows, but something is up with the little thing. I really like Tara and she does have a lot of funny one liners. I liked the scene with her and the rest of the cast in Grandmas parlor. Why are vampires so sexy? It's extremely demented if you think about it........
