Honestly, I find Pete to be a much more interesting character than Don. Then again, I find most of the cast of Mad Men to be more interesting than Don…

My mistake — apparently there's no episode tonight.

It's one of those shows they regularly forget about in this feature.

Each "90 minute" Sons episode is actually only about 60 minutes of show minus commercials, so it's about the same length as a HBO or Showtime drama episode.

Now, you can get the useless mobile experience on any web-accessing device!

As someone who's been intermittently going through the new Who series this past year or so, I'd recommend starting with season 5, a.k.a. the first Moffat season. There are some good episodes in the first four, but overall it's a slog, and the effects are distractingly shoddy for the first few seasons.

Shit, I just read The Golden Notebook this summer. Great book, very much of its time but still relevant today, and well worth the (substantial) time investment.

Hey, at least it's better than MAD TV.

This Was TV does a good job covering old TV in a variety of formats. I would recommend checking it out

We can't have sex here!

Tonight in Canada: Everyone feels kind of obligated to read an Alice Munro story, but decides to just watch hockey instead.

We always knew Maurice Levy existed in the Good Wife universe, we just didn't know what he was doing.

Don't be ridiculous.  Newt Gingrich doesn't blink.

Hey, at least we have the Good Wife!  It'll be topical!

I REVEAL MY TRAP CARD

See, we like Justin Timberlake!  We're not like those stuffy old rockist critics!  Banal pop music 4ever!

Even the AV Club can't keep track of all these damn TV shows.

Has Whedon done an interview yet where he tells everyone to wait until episode 10 for it to really get good?

Everyone dies except Todd, who ascends to his throne as the meth kingpin of Albequerque and the Czech Republic.

Veep and House of Cards really have the same thesis, that American politics (if not politics in general) is all about petty individuals trying to get ahead and not about questions of ideology at all.  They just present it in different ways.
