I Like to Watch

"Mad Men" leads a midsummer night's dream of new cable dramas -- but "John From Cincinnati" wipes out! Plus: Do Emmy voters watch TV?

    Mad Men

    While watching "Mad Men" I felt fidgety and often anxious and I couldn't figure out why. But one of the commenters here put it in words "I need to say that I found "Mad Men" to be an extremely honest trip back to the late Fifties/early Sixties of my youth." Yes, a trip back to my youth which was filled with anxiety. Now that I understand that I can ignore the show with no remorse. Although, I will say that it was cool to see Angel's son all grown up.

    I also enjoyed the pilot of "State of Mind" very much, while "Burn This" is good fluffy entertainment. And thanks for the heads up on the new Spike show. I've seen the ads but thought it was for a theater movie.
