Less than 30 minutes and I'll finally be back to Madison Avenue for season 2 of Mad Men,I can't wait there are so many question i need the answers to,What will happen to Peggy and her baby?,Don and Betty?,Roger and his heart? I hope it'll another amazing,award winning season for one of the best dramas of the decade. I also really hope that people have taken the hint from all the praise and advertising that this show is worth the watch. I can only hope though since great shows like this one (and Friday Night Lights and The Wire and In Treatment) have always fared worse than ridiculous shows like Dancing With The Stars and American Idol. But anyway I'm optimistic for this seasons ratings and reception. I'll post at midnight after I've seen it hopefully you all will have watched it too.

When the emmy nominations came out I was ecstatic to find out that Mad Men, one of my favorite shows and one of the best dramas of the decade, was not only recognized but recieved a whopping 16 nominations. Even the emmy voters unexplainable love for the abysmal Boston Legal can't rain on my parade. I just hope that James Spader doesn't hog more oscars,after robbing both Hugh Laurie and James Gandolfini I hope the voters finally agree to start seeing other people. Anyway Mad Men not only became 1/3 of all the non-network and non-hbo shows to ever get a nom for best series, but John Hamm, Michael Slattery and Robert Morse all earned well deserved nominations. I would love to see Hamm win but I would prefer a 3 way tie between him,Hugh Laurie and Michael C. Hall (wishful thinking?). If I can say one thing negatively about the Emmy voter's Mad Men love it is that they failed to acknowledge two stunning performances, Elizabeth Moss's naive new girl Peggy, and Christina Hendricks sneaky,slutty Joan.Also the voters have created a huge problem for me by nominating 4 of my favorite shows for best drama, I'd be fine with any of the nominees winning (save for Boston Legal) but I'd also hate to see the others lose. Well back to Mad MEn, since theres nothing I can say about this masterpiece that hasn't already been said I'll just say some things that have been said. Mad Men beautifully and realistically shows us the shocking truths about America's not so distant pass. It takes us back to a time where pregnant women smoked,drinking on the job was practically required,and nothing was sexual harrasment. But the magic of the show is how it makes that seem ok or even almost elegant, and how it makes us not only believe but also love every minute we spend in the scoth soaked,chain smoking,secratary screwing world of 1960's Madison Avenue. Feel free to share your thoughts on Mad Men and how you think it will fare in this year's Emmys

Hey Everybody this is my first blog, I've been on here since yesterday and I thought I should do this to introduce myself and earn points (I've been trying to add userbars in my signature since I registered and I just found out I can't yet). I love TV I watch The Office,Dexter,House,Entourage,The Sopranos,Lost,Mad Men,CSI,That 70's Show,King of The Hill, and many more. I've recently been catching myself up on shows and rewatching the complete series of The Sopranos and The Wire (the two greatest TV dramas ever). I hope this year the emmy voters will finally do the right thing and award Hugh Laurie for his amazing work on House (and I hope there reconsidiring not nominating Robert Sean Leonard) I'll save the rest of my emmy talk for another blog. Anyway,I run cross country for my school,my favorite movie is Pulp Fiction and my favorite book is The Road. And thats about it, see you in the forums.
