It was already pretty clear that Fall 2008 wasn't the shining beacon of good television we all wanted after the writers' strike, but the latest installment of TV Week's critics' poll pretty much drives the message home. Only one new show, HBO's True Blood, managed to crack the top 10, while all but one show on the list of worst series was a product of Fall '08.
Mad Men took first place on the best list, jumping up from second last time it was eligible.

Since I'm addicted to television about as much as I'm addicted to beauty and blogging, I thought this would be a great opportunity to talk about some of the brightest beauty looks from the silver screen this year. Between the trendy nail polish shades that we see every week on The Hills, Serena and Blair's amazing hair on Gossip Girl, Joan Holloway and Betty Draper's perfect red lipstick from Mad Men and the sex appeal of Billie Piper, it really depends on my mood which styles I favour the most. In your opinion, which 2008 television series do you think has the best beauty looks?
Welcome back, folks, to the next installment of my Buzz Gift Guide series for all the entertainment lovers in your life. Yesterday I suggested some fun gifts for grandma (after tackling mom and dad), and that leaves us with grandpa!
The first thing I thought of for my grandpa was the soundtrack to AMC's hit show Mad Men.

The Simpsons may not be must-see TV for me like it was a few years back, but I still try to make a point of watching the annual Halloween special, the Treehouse of Horror. Even though it usually airs after Halloween (thanks a lot, World Series), it keeps me in the spooky holiday mood with clever horror parodies.
I'm especially excited for this year's (19th!) episode because it includes a takeoff on one of my favorite Halloween traditions: It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown.

Which Mad Men Lady Is Your Favorite? The men of Mad Men can sometimes be like train wrecks — I have to watch them even when I find some of them repellent. And while Don Draper may be the center of the show, I actually think it's the ladies who keep me coming back for more week after week. The fashion is amazing for one thing, and Joan, Peggy, and Betty are some of the most fascinating and heartbreaking female characters on television right now.

Mad Men Rundown: Episode 13, "Meditations in an Emergency" The storm clouds swirled on this week's exciting season finale of Mad Men. As the terror of the Cuban missile crisis thrums below the surface, everyone copes with the prospect of the end of the world in his or her own way. The entire episode has a nihilistic vibe to it, with characters weighing each moment against the idea that it could be their last.

You, Too, Can Pick Up Women Just Like Don Draper It's been a very Mad Men weekend around here. In addition to the second-season finale on Sunday night, about which I'll have a lot more to say in just a little while, Jon Hamm also stopped by Saturday Night Live for a guest-hosting gig that poked some fun at Mad Men and Hamm's character, Don Draper.

A bunch of Hamm's sketches were funny — I was pretty impressed with him overall — and it was great to see fellow Mad Men actors Elisabeth Moss and John Slattery pop up in one of the scenes.
