Mad Men – Season 2, Episode 9: “Six Month Leave”
Last night, I DVR’ed 8 programs. That’s right. I now have 8 shows on Sunday nights, and that’s only after I decided to cut True Blood loose. As I unfortunately don’t have the unlimited number of hours required to watch this … Continue reading

Entourage – Season 5, Episode 4: “Fire Sale”

Entourage – Season 5, Episode 1 – “Fantasy Island”
The boys are back in town…but does anyone still care? This is the question that popped into my mind as I watched last night’s season premiere of HBO’s Entourage. Truly, this is the key query of every season premiere: will this … Continue reading
