Seeing Jones on Last Man on Earth is interesting -- she isn't acting stiffly as Betty, she's acting stiff. Just as MM is a study of three versions of what it is to be a man (Don, Roger, Pete) it's also a study of three versions of what it is to be a woman (Joan, Peggy, Betty). The most valuable legacy of the show is that with the exception of Peggy and Roger (and he only sometimes) none of these models was visible or even comprehensible in the ALL I HAVE IS IRONY cramped culture of the current moment. MM has been a cure for the 21st century which, in case people haven't noticed, hasn't been turning out very well in regards to the perpetual adolescence it offers as models for adult behavior.

I'm rooting for Pete. The key note of the show has been that people never change, and I'd like to see that subverted for the most undeserving and unpleasant character, because the other key note has been you can lose everything in an instant -- even the comfort of justice.

Something occurred to me today:

Pete won't screw it up (well, in the usual Pete way). He'll quit McCann...and then find out there WAS no offer, and Duck was lying. Pete goes flying off the building, not Don.

Ugh, that actually sounds reasonable. :(

I still watch, but mostly at work in the background. Elliot has done screwed his life up completely now.

Hearing that Harry Shearer is done with The Simpson's. That's a blow, not that I've watched in ages.

Other than treehouse of horror I may not have seen The Simpsons since Ned's wife died. Wikipedia says that was 14 years ago. Yeesh.
 
Re: TV: The League Of Anarchy Is A Bunch Of Justified Mad Men

They've announced that they're keeping his characters in the show, but they're searching for voice talent to replace him. I'm curious if they're going for people who can mimic his characters' voices or changing those voices altogether, like how Homer went from sounding exactly like Walter Mathau to his current voice, or how Smithers (one of Shearer's characters) went from being a black guy to yellow.

Anyone watch Hannibal? I've been watching on Amazon and digging it. I could probably do without the love scenes though, good thing they are few and far between.

I've heard very good things, but not my cup of tea.

Black List Finale was epic and was EXACTLY what I wanted. Loved it. My favorite show by far.
 
Re: TV: The League Of Anarchy Is A Bunch Of Justified Mad Men

I havent watched it yet...but Season 2 has been kind of dragging on since the midseason break. The last few have been ramping up so I am hopeful! :)
 
Re: TV: The League Of Anarchy Is A Bunch Of Justified Mad Men

Wow Scooby you were right...awesome episode! I hope Tom is not around much his story is done.
 
Re: TV: The League Of Anarchy Is A Bunch Of Justified Mad Men

Maureen Ryan's otherwise unreadable HuffPo review of the MM finale did have one good line:

In seven seasons, "What you call love was invented by guys like me to sell nylons" ... evolved into "What you call enlightenment was invented by guys like me to sell cola."

Re: TV: The League Of Anarchy Is A Bunch Of Justified Mad Men

Stan is always right and Stan says Don will be back. he comes back to McCann Erickson, makes the coke commercial, at peace at last, goes on to produce the unending string of successful coke ads. everyone else lives happily ever after, although with the trials and tribulations they have encountered through the last 10 years. because life really is a carousel.
the end. great show.
