January Jones is a stone cold bitch. You know it, I know it and a whole slew of other people who've never actually met her know it, too. There is a slim chance that we might be conflating Jones with Mad Men's Betty Francis, but — hell — who has time to differentiate between actor and character when there's a pretty…

After getting shot up with a "mild stimulant," Don goes on a wild ride through sleep deprivation psychosis that went about as well as Ken Cosgrove's wild ride in the Chevy Impala, with both ending similarly, lending last night's episode its name: "The Crash."

The scene: You're at home on your couch, watching Mad Men, bathing in a commercial coma pattern of luxury car/Christina Hendricks' Johnnie Walker whiskey/luxury car when BOOM: the most horrendous noise fills the air. You sit up, shocked because...could it be...no...are those the decidedly un-dulcet tones of the…

Mad Men has always been about Don Draper's personal and professional life, but last night's episode was really demonstrative of how similar his approach is to the two: he has no idea, and little concern, about being a good partner.

Wedding themes, like prom themes (This Magic Moment, A Night to Remember, Magic Carpet Ride, etc.), usually fall into just a few categories. You don't see too much required camo/hot pink dress codes like the one at Sugar Bear and Mama June Shannon's wedding. It took place in their McIntyre, Georga backyard, with…

Ugh, Betty Draper! Who are you, you enigmatic puzzle box of a TV character? Are you a scorned harridan who’s trying to undermine her loutish ex-husband’s marriage to a younger, thinner woman, or are you merely a superficial woman who regrets being so mean to her only daughter and taking a second husband who, for all…

After last Sunday’s painful Mad Men episode (and this whole season has really been a long, bitter exercise in chewing glass), the fragile mystique of Don Draper suffered a few more cracks. Don’s persona has been decaying ever since the first season, and if you’re especially cynical about the peculiarly American urge…

While Mad Men has yet to fully establish a black character with any kind of depth or a significant storyline, its handling of the assassination of Martin Luther King, Jr. on last night's episode was still really honest for its portrayal of how a white, wealthy, alcoholic man would've reacted to the tragedy: by making…

Ohmaaaaagaaaaa, Channing Tatum and Joseph Gordon Levitt are in talks to be cast as the Guys — Skye Masterson and Nathan Detroit respectively — in the Fox remake of Joseph L. Mankiewicz's 1955 movie musical Guys and Dolls. Which is kind of as perfect as it's gonna get without old-school Marlon Brando steaming up the…

Finally, four hours into the storytelling of Mad Men's sixth season, we get to catch up with Joan and see how she's faring since becoming the first female partner at SCDP. We soon learn that heavy hangs the head that's used as a battering ram against the glass ceiling.
