Paley Festival: Mad about 'Mad Men'
January 13, 2008 should have been the night much of America was introduced to one of the best shows on TV. AMC's Mad Men won the Globe for best drama series and leading man Jon Hamm won best actor for his career-defining turn as secret-keeping 1960s Manhattan ad man Don Draper. Instead, there was a strike and a televised press conference and you may have forgotten about the whole thing.

What's the new Best Show on TV?
In the past ten months, both The Sopranos and The Wire have ended their runs, so it's worth asking: What takes over from them as the Best Show on Television?

'Mad Men': Betty's rubble
There are a lot of things worth talking about from Thursday's Mad Men, but one thought kept running through my head as I watched it: Man, what $45,000 must have looked like in 1960.
'Mad Men': Past imperfect

'Mad Men': Going up, then coming up
Anyone else feeling a real Sopranos kind of vibe from Thursday's episode of Mad Men?
'Mad Men' enters the lipstick jungle
After five straight weeks of exceptional episodes, Mad Men faltered just a bit for me this week. Which is to say, it was still better than most of what's on TV at the moment, but not quite as good as the past couple of weeks.
Secrets and more secrets on 'Mad Men'
One of the things I'm loving about AMC's new series Mad Men is how close to the vest just about everyone plays things. Patient viewing is rewarded -- and was in a big way this week.
