Mad Men - All Eyes on Don

Anyone else creeped out by the afflicted brother of the teacher? He has "fits". It is wild that "fits" is what we boiled epilepsy down to in the 60's. I don't know if everyone caught this but Betty mentioned Thanksgiving plans and being that we are in 1963 it looks as though we are heading straight for Nov. 22, 1963.

Peggy continued to amaze and the scenes with Roger were awesome, but the focus was on Don. Betty is freaking over the whole Don/Dick thing. I wonder if she put it together or just thinks he was previously married?

I love that the show turned away from Hilton. He was getting far too much play. Three episodes left. Western Union...it's been in my family for generations. I liked Peggy's idea better anyway. Do telegraphs still exist, as a novelty?

Curb - Denise Handicapped

Last week I talked about how easy it is to lose interest in any non-Seinfeld reunion episode. I feel myself getting impatient. But this week's episode was so funny that it made me (almost) forget about the Seinfeld reunion. Larry attempting to make a move on the Denise in the wheelchair was ridiculous and hilarious. It was equaled by Larry finding himself attracted to the benefits of dating the handicapped. It is classic Larry, isn't it? You get all the benefits without any of the hardships.

Did you bring it, Larry?

Mia Michaels is out on SYTYCD?!?

Mia Michaels, the free spirit who always makes people (not me) cry on SYTYCD, has twittered what appears to be a goodbye to the show. While I know nothing about who's good or not at dancing or choreographing, the people on the show couldn't make a bigger deal out of her.

HBO is making a documentary about the rivalry and unlikely friendship of Magic and Bird. I love the HBO documentary crew and can't wait to watch this. The Bird-Magic rivalry is the ultimate in sports rivalry in the last 30 years. The doc is set to debut in March.
