I had kind of forgotten "Mad TV" was still around until "Studio 69 on Van Nuys Boulevard" showed up a few months back. I've been meaning to check out the show again, and tonight's episode has two great things to recommend: First, the awesome Kate Walsh, who plays Addison on "Grey's Anatomy," is the guest. And second, the clip I've seen has a pretty great spot-on parody/impression of Paula Abdul during "American Idol" judging.

Check out this sketch from the cast of "Mad TV" reinventing Aaron Sorkin's "Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip" as a behind-the-scenes porn drama.
The four-minute clip pretty effectively skewers everything the writer has come to be known for. Here are 10 Sorkinisms I spotted:
The "pedeconference," in which important discussions can only happen while walking.
The sweeping speech about The Show's Important Mission.
The eye-rolling religion reference.
The reminder of Aaron Sorkin's own dominance.

Tonight, the third season of Mad Men wraps up, and there couldn't be more characters and plotlines on a precipice. Last week, Betty told Don she doesn't love him anymore and got a marriage proposal from Henry, and Pete was looking close to leaving Sterling Cooper. The season has also been building up other situations that may come to a head tonight, such as Joan and Roger's relationship, Salvatore's unjustified firing, and the casting aside of Don's latest mistress, Suzanne, who seems to me to be a bit unstable.

Far fewer feet were cut off in this week's episode of Mad Men, but there's still intense imagery. The way the episode kicks off, with a bloody Don, Peggy in bed, and Betty on a fainting couch, you know this installment, "Seven Twenty Three," is going to be explosive.

So how did this year's Emmy winner for Outstanding Drama Series follow up its win? With a shocking turn of events that made me stop and wonder if I was on the right channel.
Even the pun-y title, "Guy Walks Into an Advertising Agency," was sort of un-Mad Men-like.

Did you hear it? That was the sound of the Mad Men implosion, as the death of JFK on November 22, 1963, rocked the country and the lives of the show's characters. This season has been building up to the events of this episode, which felt more intense, more important, than next week's finale can possibly be.

What if the Dunder Mifflin universe collided with the Sterling Cooper universe? Honestly, sometimes the workplaces on Mad Men and The Office are eerily similar — in an upside down time warp kind of way. Check out my slideshow of how the show's characters match up to each other in my bizarro comparison of Sterling Mifflin (or Dunder Cooper).
