Mad Men, Ep. 7.14: “Person to Person” – a touching end to one of TV’s all-time greats
Some works will last–without the help of critics–as long as the civilization which bred them lasts, as Shakespeare’s plays have done. At times, Matthew Weiner has channeled Shakespeare in Mad Men, portraying the multifaceted nature of what it means to be human.
Mad Men, Ep. 7.13: “The Milk and Honey Route” winds down the series in intimate ways
“The Milk and Honey Route” is one of those episodes that plays off the [soap opera] formula, but delivers meaningful scenes that gain importance from the years of work Mad Men has put into these characters.
Mad Men, Ep. 7.12: “Lost Horizon” and the comfort of familiarity
Following last week’s “Time & Life,” which featured what will certainly be the final classic Mad Men shakeup of business, Matthew Weiner’s characters find themselves adapting (or failing to adapt) to their new lives at McCann Erickson.
Mad Men, Ep. 7.08: “Severance” – the life not lived
“Severance” is haunted by the ghosts of Mad Men’s past and wonders about the lives of its central characters…

Television that Home Video Forgot: Point Pleasant (2005)
In the spirit of Sound on Sight’s 31 Days of Horror, I decided to select some horror-related forgotten television. This series fits into the genre of supernatural horror series, being described upon its premiere as The Omen meets Carrie meets The OC.

Mad Men, Ep. 7.03: “Field Trip” – How useful is regret?
Don’s journey in “Field Trip” builds up to his sit-down with the partners, when he is given the chance to say “Okay.” He’ll take whatever they give him. There’s some genuinely upsetting scenes along the way, though.

Thursday Comedy Roundup: ‘Community’ 4.09, ‘Parks & Rec’ 5.18, & ‘Archer’ 4.13
For those familiar with the brilliant Angel episode “Smile Time,” it’s impossible to view “Intro to Felt Surrogacy” without thinking back on Joss Whedon and Ben Edlund’s masterpiece. One of the many impressive things about “Felt Surrogacy” is how quickly it steps out from under that shadow. Given how frequently the fourth season of Community has employed high-concept episodes as a crutch, it’s somewhat ironic that the most ambitious episode to date would be the one in which it finally establishes a unified voice.
Thursday Comedy Roundup: ‘Community’ 4.08, ‘Parks & Rec’ 5.17, & ‘Archer’ 4.12
“Herstory of Dance” is a surprisingly sweet episode of Community. What initially seems like a rather lazy Abed plot, another example of him attempting to enact fictional tropes in the real world, is granted another, deeper level when Brie Larson’s Rebecca assists him in his hijinks. In that moment, it transcends the emptiness of Abed’s arc this season and becomes truly affecting.
