It’s a mad mad world. The best show you’re not watching.

Yes it’s true we have been posting nothing but television for the last several days but hey, it is Fall. Plus, tv takes the sting out of the hours we spend doing homework. It’s really like a homework chaser, a delicious shot of yum in a sea of lecture note filled binder paper. And with the help of Tivo we can be drinking by 8am.

Drinking by 8am doesn’t feel so bad when you’re not alone. For company, just watch our absolute favorite cocktail on the tube these days where they do it all the time: AMC’s Mad Men. It’s the best show on TV. And we just heard that it’s been renewed for another season. You must watch this show. The sets are phenomenal, it’s so fun to see all of the retro furniture clothing. Love it! Set in the 60′s the show follows a group of advertising executives who work on Madison Avenue and smoke more than we thought humanly possible. It stars Jon Hamm, John Slattery, Rich Sommer, Elisabeth Moss, and a particularly endearing January Jones. Try to catch it on OnDemand if you have it, original episodes air Thursdays at 10pm.

January Jones as Betty Draper, homemaker and wife of Don Draper.

Bad girl you. You know you have word problems to do. Remember when we used to call them “story” problems? TV used to be full of them before the reality shows invaded.

Mad Men is a great show. Hope the writers strike ends soon so it’ll be back!
And we also love how the fashion is back in style today.

This looks like a great show – i’ll have to see if Hulu has a link to some episodes. The Sopranos is one of my favorite television series!
