Mark your calendars, set your DVRs, and get your flannel suits and drink mixers ready, because Mad Men is returning for its third season Aug. 16. It's just a little more than two months till we'll be back inside the walls of Sterling Cooper.

After the wedding, you're probably ready to just have a relaxing honeymoon and enjoy that newlywed glow. When it comes to unwinding with movies or TV, though, beware: certain stories will be wedding bliss buzzkills. Last year I made a partial list (including American Beauty and The Ice Storm, among others) and here are a few more titles to avoid during these early, happy days.

30 Rock made a M*A*S*H joke this week, and my friend practically threw a fit telling me all about her hatred for that show. She said every time her parents turned it on and she heard that famous theme song, she wanted to cry from boredom. I actually know quite a few people who feel that way, even though M*A*S*H is considered one of the best shows of all time.

It was already pretty clear that Fall 2008 wasn't the shining beacon of good television we all wanted after the writers' strike, but the latest installment of TV Week's critics' poll pretty much drives the message home. Only one new show, HBO's True Blood, managed to crack the top 10, while all but one show on the list of worst series was a product of Fall '08.
Mad Men took first place on the best list, jumping up from second last time it was eligible.

Welcome back, folks, to the next installment of my Buzz Gift Guide series for all the entertainment lovers in your life. Yesterday I suggested some fun gifts for grandma (after tackling mom and dad), and that leaves us with grandpa!
The first thing I thought of for my grandpa was the soundtrack to AMC's hit show Mad Men.

The Simpsons may not be must-see TV for me like it was a few years back, but I still try to make a point of watching the annual Halloween special, the Treehouse of Horror. Even though it usually airs after Halloween (thanks a lot, World Series), it keeps me in the spooky holiday mood with clever horror parodies.
I'm especially excited for this year's (19th!) episode because it includes a takeoff on one of my favorite Halloween traditions: It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown.

The men of Mad Men can sometimes be like train wrecks — I have to watch them even when I find some of them repellent. And while Don Draper may be the center of the show, I actually think it's the ladies who keep me coming back for more week after week. The fashion is amazing for one thing, and Joan, Peggy, and Betty are some of the most fascinating and heartbreaking female characters on television right now.

The storm clouds swirled on this week's exciting season finale of Mad Men. As the terror of the Cuban missile crisis thrums below the surface, everyone copes with the prospect of the end of the world in his or her own way. The entire episode has a nihilistic vibe to it, with characters weighing each moment against the idea that it could be their last.
