Things that didn’t suck this week – Mad Men, Project Runway, and Wil Wheaton

Mad Men has come back, and the slow-burn of the first two episodes is making me completely crazy — in a really great way. Project Runway returned as well, and I begrudgingly watched it, just to find out that it’s just as ridiculous as always. And Wil Wheaton got into a nerd-fight on Leverage. Not bad for […]

Quotation Marks – Exorcisms, Ann Margret, and … a Gilmore Girl?

Was it just me, or did this week seem a little off? Despite being funny, Psych put me to sleep (literally, not figuratively) with its not-so-interesting plot. Leverage was hilarious, but didn’t offer nearly as many good one-liners as it normally does. And depressingly, Bob’s Veronica Mars Virgin Diary is quickly coming to a close […]

Mad Men – Peggy Olson is an enigma too

I was thrilled when Elisabeth Moss was nominated for an Emmy this year. I think that her subtle, nuanced performance as Peggy Olson is one of the best parts of Mad Men. I thought this was particularly evident this week, in the second episode of the new season. All the characters in Mad Men are […]

Ratings Clack – Heidi and Tim are back

It’s another week where the ratings news from cable is much more interesting than anything happening on the networks. The big story was the premiere of Project Runway (finally) on Lifetime, but there was plenty more fun to be had. Also getting in on the premiere game was Mad Men, Kourtney and Khloe, Hoarders, Ghost […]

Quotation Marks – Brett really DOES watch Project Runway

Project Runway: All-Star Challenge [You’ll have to work with me on this one, but it’s easily the quote of the week] “When I see boobs going all over the place I get dizzy.” — Heidi [not liking that one of the models, who was wearing a really tight t-shirt, wasn’t wearing a bra] “Me too!” […]

Is Don Draper a homophobe?

Probably, yes. He is a hyper-masculine male in the early 1960s; a time in which gay people were un-ironically called “fairies.” When Don caught Sal with his pants down, and a young, half-dressed bellhop in close proximity, he was clearly taken aback — and truthfully, was probably at least a little repulsed. However, what’s so […]

Mad Men – Don Draper: cassanova, family man, enigma

Are you as excited as I am (and Kona too) about the return of Mad Men? I’ve been waiting all summer for this stupendous show to get back onto the air, and the first episode of the season didn’t disappoint. Everything I’ve grown to love was here in this premiere installment: Don was sexing up […]
