    You forgot to mention the antidote-- Mad Men on AMC

    The AMC series Mad Men only recently premiered and should be considered in this fall lineup, as possibly the anti-trend outlayer.

    It is a 1960s retrospective about flannel-suited ad men, and will give you all the old boys' club, martini-lunching, wink-wink, secretary chasing, "honey-make-yourself-useful-and-go-make-me-a-sandwich" throwback sexism you could possibly ever want in a television series.

    Also, the pregnant women smoke and drink. Hilarious!
