    Mad about "Men"

    We TiVod Mad Men and finally watched it last night. Way to go, AMC! Great characters, sizzling dialogue, an intriguing setting full of opportunity for biting commentary on modern society. The tobacco account angle is a tad too "thank you for smoking," I'd have preferred something more original, but it also says a lot about the era in which this story is set.

    As for "John From Cincinnati," well, that dog needs to take the bus back to Ohio. I call it "Yawn From Cincinnati."
