If there is a seventh season of Mad Men -- which there most likely will be, don't worry -- it won't just be Don smoldering sitting in his office alone.
There were a lot of big surprises yesterday during the Emmy nominations, but most of them just served to make us angry. And while we've simmered down a bit, we're still very confused about the shows that the voters apparently watch. And we're pretty sure that sometimes they just see a recognizable film star's name, get excited and check their box, regardless of quality (that's the only way we can explain the love for Uma Thurman and Kathy Bates). Here are the snubs that we just can't believe:
Knowing Matthew Weiner, we won't be seeing any more of the SCDP gang until sometime in the middle of 2013, if we're lucky -- if we're not, it might not be until 2014. Sure, that gives us time to process all of the jaw-dropping moments of Season 5, but there are also so many Mad Men idiosyncrasies we'll miss after the show ends its season this Sunday.
The roommate dynamic has been one that has been mined for TV forever (just look at The Odd Couple and Laverne & Shirley), with Don't Trust the B---- in Apartment 23 and Girls adding their own variations to the conceit this week. But which current sets of roomies are the most fun to watch?
For the sake of a level playing field, let's assume that you, unlike me, don't feel satisfied after watching the ad firm at Sterling Cooper Draper Pryce hash out their drama for an hour on Mad Men. Where I, for one, watch Matthew Weiner's hit series for the excellent writing, complex characters and various other reasons, the advertising part of the show is definitely a highlight, but by no means what's bringing me back every week. Still, AMC never got the memo and is now asking us to watch what is essentially The Apprentice without any washed-up celebrities calling each other "fucking useless" in the process... airing opposite The Apprentice. Unfortunately, I'm not buying it.
The upcoming Don't Trust the B---- in Apartment 23 is built upon the premise that people would deal with a crappy bitch of a roommate in order to live in a really great place. And you know what? We know the feeling. For the privilege of living in the following current and classic TV rental units, we'd pretty much cut off our right arms, or at least put up with someone who leaves wet towels all over the place or forgets to take out the trash.
