I Like to Watch

AMC's "Mad Men" captures the ambivalence of the American dream, while NBC's "Friday Night Lights" fumbles hard.

    Finally!

    Thank you so much for writing about the best show on television. I'm actually glad Mad Men is in the basic cable ghetto of AMC because then it doesn't have to compete in the ratings competition that results in crap like Two and a Half Men getting renewed very season and good shows like My So-Called Life and Homicide getting the ax after being shuffled around the schedule.

    The only downside for us is that we don't get AMC in HD, so watching debut episodes isn't the luscious experience that watching them the next day On Demand is. The show looks absolutely stunning in high def!
