Nah.  The Nazis are a well that never runs dry.

Yeah, but since the car launched to great reviews and strong sales, one could argue that they wind up doing a hell of a job. It was the 1971 Motor Trend Car of the Year, so they've got a few years of success ahead.

If there's one good thing about this season, it's the relative absence of Sally Draper. Nothing against the actress, but I have ZERO interest in anything that character does.

Last night as I turned the TV off, I thought "Mad Men is just a Soap Opera". The show has somehow changed from being less about the characters, than about the things that they do, acting as levers to move the plot.  I'll watch it to its conclusion, since I've invested this much in it, but things like "let's merge the

I thought it was interesting that Peggy had apparently gauged what would sell to the Heinz guy better than Don.  The client really wanted a bottle, and she's promising a billboard 42 feet high with bottle at the top.  Don was trying to sell advertising that would appeal to consumers (without numbers to back him up),

When Peggy turned over the card I expected to see the Heinz "slow pour" ketchup concept that Heinz uses today.  As it turned out DDB Needham created that campaign back in 1964.

This is great writing, but when I devote an appreciable amount of time to reading an article about the last episode of Hogan's Heroes, and then read the comments, I think it's time for me to consider how I'm spending my time.

You know, I've heard other parents criticize Caillou, but I have to stick up for it, because the narrator does a very good job of explaining what is happening and why Caillou feels the way he does. For a lot of kids, that's unnecessary, but my boy has autism, and for him part of the way autism manifests is a lack of

I enjoy seeing him, and I like the fact that like Russell, he's playing against type. The "nice guy actor" in a "hardass role" seems to automatically make me feel like there's more to the character than we're seeing in the lines given. Thomas plays the character believably too - I've seen bosses like that.

When I heard the radio announcer say that it was confirmed that Brady had been killed I thought they were about to go down an alternate timeline in which things played out differently than in actual history. When they showed the TV announcer correcting the misinformation later, I wasn't sure if I should be relieved

I know!  And it's a shame they didn't use him as "Action Jonny" on The Venture Bros.

I was always under the impression that they must have based the appearance of Archer on a young Tim Matheson, from the Animal House era.
