Latest episode clacks for this show:
Last week brought a rare sighting to broadcast television, in the form of the lowest rated dramatic premiere ever. Amazingly, that was followed by a renewal for the lowest rated show on another network. Meanwhile, over on cable, the going was also slow for the latest from HBO.
It was a busy week on ‘Mad Men.’ Don’s in-laws were in town, Peggy’s relationship took center stage, and things came to a head with Heinz. Would any of those things come out in the win column?
Even when ‘Mad Men’ tosses viewers a twist in the plotline, it’s done on its own timeline and in its own way. ‘Mad Men’ experiments with structural elements within its meditative storytelling and never presents a storyline predictably.
This spring continues to be a dark time for all of television, with lows hitting across the board. That didn’t bode well for the premiere of ‘NYC 22′ on CBS. Over on cable, HBO had their own struggles with the premiere of ‘Girls’.
Spring continues to cause havoc for the television ratings. The big story on cable remains ‘Game Of Thrones’, despite a host of Showtime premieres. On the networks, imagine a repeat finishing #1 at 9 on Thursday against all new competition…
Season five of ‘Mad Men’ hit a high point in this episode that featured a long look at Pete. Per usual, Pete did not come off looking very good.
While most people are talking about Don after this week’s episode of ‘Mad Men,’ Joan was the real star of the hour, making a huge decision in her life as her past seemed to flash before her eyes.
