Only it'll be nearing the late sixties, when fashion and design started to suck.  Can you imagine Don with sideburns?

Yeah, Mad Men will come back to apologize and bring gifts, and then it'll just leave again, and say we can't come too.

Following up on my previous post, I think pretty much all the points made a valid ones.  I suppose for me, what it comes down to is I find the cast to be so rich and deep (almost Altman-like), and where it holds my fascination is in seeing how characters respond to these occurrences, however absurd they may be.  There…

My thinking  is that it was originally conceived as a mini-series, and then when it was a hit, they picked it  up for a second run, and it became a series proper.  It's not uncommon for purposes to change.  "Testament" was a TV movie, but then it tested so well, they gave it a theatrical run, and it wound up getting a…

Ever since "Mad Men" walked out a year and a half ago saying it needed to buy a pack of smokes, and never came back, "Downton Abbey" has been been my only source of period drama with a fetish for historical accuracy.

God this broke my heart when I saw it air originally way back when.  At the time, I think it was my least favorite episode, because it was so sad.  Now I know to appreciate it better, but dayum, it's still a tear jerker.

This is the first time I can recall seeing actual, living, breathing human being that falls into the Uncanny Valley.  Are we sure she's just not another generation of emotive robots from Japan?

What's with the baptism dress?

I think Pam disappoints me the most.  I understand most people compromise and give up their dreams, but there are those who don't.  I haven't gotten over my disappointment that she gave up on hers.  I mean, Jim set up an art studio for her in their new house.  Did they EVER do anything with that?  I mean just to know…

Crisatunity!

Pam and Jim are officially fucking insufferable.  What's more remarkable is how far they've fallen.  I can't think of another character, let alone two in the same show, who've gone from being so utterly likeable that you felt you knew them, to being so utterly obnoxious that I kind of hate the actors playing them too.

This might've been good to know before they, you know, cremated the body…

Are you calling me a Federalist? 
Pistols at dawn sir!  My boat shall ferry us to Weehawken!

Thank God Don Cornelius lives.  Now I'm off to read the rest of the day's newsfeed…

I can picture it now: a show about Dwight Schrute's farm, and he hires Ryan and Creed and Meredith to come work on it.

A meat and potatoes diet'll do that to ya ;)

You sans-culotte.

Going on Vadim's post, I'd wish that studios would go for maximum quality in image capture and presentation, meaning a return to 65mm origination, and printing via the Technicolor dye transfer process.

Good lord, at the end of the article it says one of them is a freelance writer (no doubt a title he adopted as a result of getting the Time gig), and the other goes to NYU.  They're either rich kids or stupid kids, probably both.

Basically everything you need to know about these guys is summed up by the first line on their twitter:  "Two brothers and their lifelong friend who grew up in coastal Maine.."
