CBS's How I Met Your Mother has finally, finally allowed Ted to meet the mother of his children, as the final season of the show wraps up.

Tonight’s Emmy Awards will mark a pivotal moment in TV history, and not just because Neil Patrick Harris plans on just skipping the award ceremony entirely and putting on a one-man tap show. Netflix’s House of Cards will be the first strictly-internet show competing for the best drama Emmy, but, more importantly, if…
Hormones is a drama of daily life set in a Bangkok high school. It has the same basic structure as the UK (and now, sigh, the U.S.)'s sexy teen melodrama Skins — it follows 9 teenagers as they go about their everyday lives.

On Sunday evening's Mad Men, the show that everything starts and stops and ends and begins with, Don Draper got himself into another adventure.

I'm one of the many people who compulsively binge-watched the first season of Netflix's House of Cards over the weekend; please don't ask me what time I went to bed last night.
