They should have let things develop slower. The kid shouldn't have been taken until the middle of the season

I have a new found love for Mad Men. Finally got over what seems to be the hump, have been rollin' steady ever since. Thank you seven and 8manpick for making me stick it out. Although after finishing the first season, I'd like to offer the following comments:

So I gave up on Mad Men 5 episodes in a couple years ago because there was no one to root for. Peggy has obviously filled that void.

I think Peter Campbell is a more interesting character than Don Draper. I love watching how pathetic he is, trying to pull power moves over his authority figures, and being a dick to everyone equal to or under him. I have way more emotion for him than I do Don, even if it is pure hatred.

So, Don Draper is basically a sheep in wolf's clothing, no? Every time we see something from his past or see him when no one's around, he is an unconfident loser of Landry Jones' size proportion. Took someone else's identity, tried to recently run away from his wife and kids, took it really hard (in a losery way) when he lost a client. I don't really cheer for or against him, he's just (rightly or wrongly) an entity that I observe.

While I don't disagree with your assessment significantly, I do root for Don. Also, I'm fascinated by the Roger Sterling and Lane Pryce characters, but that might not be until further into the show that they get really interesting. The person I feel most sorry for is definitely Trudy Campbell*.

*Might be because I have a massive crush on Alison Brie

Am I the only one hoping they go ahead and cancel Parenthood so Jason Katims can go make something else?

Yeah, I dropped Mad Men after 4 episodes a few years ago, but I can't get enough of it now. It just gets better. Don is interesting because his whole life is a mystery. All of the characters are pretty good in their own way, except for maybe Betty.

Watched the first Viking show on History channel. I think it will be a good one.

Looking forward to Vikings and The bible.

I don't know. But, the main guy is Ragnar Lodbrok of Civ 3 fame.

Just got done watching Dowton...so sad.

man... they're like the KSU WBB team at this point. will they be able to field a starting 5 for season four?

I have no idea about your KSU WBB reference, but they are losing great characters at an alarming rate on Downton.

so I finally watched the last episode of Downton. I'll say that in the middle of Season 3, when Mary and Matthew were having problems getting pregs, there were a few scenes where Mary and Tom were VERY friendly with each other. I was telling my wife that they were totally gonna hook up and make babies. I wouldn't shut up about it and she got really pissed about me not shutting up about it. OH, WELL GUESS WHO HAS A GOOD CHANCE OF BEING RIGHT NOW THAT A CERTAIN CRAWLEY IS OUT OF THE PICTURE.

I hope they cancel it just because it sucks really hard.

Anyone here watch "Smash?" That show is awesome.

The Following continued its creepiness tonight. i'm getting a little tired of the "authorities" not being prepared when they go into a location they suspect bad guys to be in, and then let the most important bad guys get away. but i guess that has to happen to keep the show going. i definitely want to see the next episode, which i guess means that they've got me.

I've been really impressed with The Following. My favorite new show this season

I think they should changed the name of "Girls" to "Adam". He's carrying that show right now.

Seriously. There hasn't been a bad episode at all in the show's run.
