<title>Season finale of &apos;Mad Men&apos;</title>

<description> You have to laugh at AMC&apos;s official description of Sunday&apos;s season finale of &quot;Mad Men.&quot; &quot;Don has an important meeting with Connie. Betty receives some advice. Pete talks to his clients.&quot; I&apos;m all for keeping important plot twists and turns under wraps, but could they be any more vague? It&apos;s like a haiku about the...</description>

<title>&apos;The Vampire Diaries&apos; takes a bite out of my expectations</title>

<description><![CDATA[ I think you know my television pet peeve is when I'm able to play predict-a-plot. You know when ten minutes into a crime drama, you say "that's the killer" and you turn out to be right. Or to pick a very current example, you think you already&nbsp;knew what was up with the new neighbors on...]]></description>

<title>They&apos;re here! &apos;V&apos; premieres on ABC</title>

<guid isPermaLink="true">http://blog.zap2it.com/tvgal/2009/10/-if-i-were-abc.html</guid>
<description> If I were ABC, I would be very worried that other networks would be plotting to steal my development executives away. I know we have had our issues with the network in the past (see the cancellation of &quot;Eli Stone,&quot; &quot;Samantha Who?,&quot; and &quot;Life on Mars&quot;) but you have to admit they&apos;ve been on a...</description>

<title>Are you ready for some football? &apos;Friday Night Lights&apos; returns</title>

<description><![CDATA[ I feel like we've know each other long enough that I can tell you I waved at the TV when Tim Riggins first appeared during the fourth season premiere of "Friday Night Lights" (Wednesday at 9 p.m. on DirectTV's 101 Network). Yes I know deep down he's a fictional character but&nbsp;I was just so happy...]]></description>

<title>&apos;White Collar&apos; oozes charm and fun</title>

<guid isPermaLink="true">http://blog.zap2it.com/tvgal/2009/10/-usa-gets-away-with.html</guid>
<description> USA gets away with a lot by having absolutely charming male characters at the center of its dramas. &quot;Royal Pains&quot; would be a much more boring medical show without Hank. &quot;Burn Notice&quot; wouldn&apos;t sizzle as much without Michael Westen. And we all know that without Monk there wouldn&apos;t be a show. The network applies the...</description>

<title>I like &apos;Cougar Town.&apos; Do you?</title>

<guid isPermaLink="true">http://blog.zap2it.com/tvgal/2009/10/-ive-been-trying-to.html</guid>
<description> I&apos;ve been trying to figure out why some people (including me) have really been enjoying &quot;Cougar Town&quot; (Wednesday at 9:30 p.m. on ABC) and some people loathe it with a passion I reserve for shows like &quot;Accidentally on Purpose&quot; and &quot;The Ex List.&quot; Sure shows and performances have divided us before and certainly one person&apos;s...</description>

<title>&apos;Ugly Betty&apos; is Beautiful in Season Four</title>

<guid isPermaLink="true">http://blog.zap2it.com/tvgal/2009/10/ugly-betty-is-beautiful-in-season-four.html</guid>
<description> It finally happened. Ever since &quot;Ugly Betty&quot; premiered, I&apos;ve been waiting for Betty (America Ferrera) to start dressing a little more sophisticated and put together. I didn&apos;t want her to lose the things that made her Betty but I also thought it odd that she worked at a fashion magazine for three years and not...</description>

<title>I&apos;m Jonesing for Joan on &apos;Mad Men&apos;</title>

<guid isPermaLink="true">http://blog.zap2it.com/tvgal/2009/10/-last-nights-episode-of.html</guid>
<description> Last night&apos;s episode of &quot;Mad Men&quot; was great except for one thing - there was no Joan. &quot;Mad Men&quot; has created this world where characters effortlessly move in and out of episodes from the background to the center of the action. For example, we saw little of Pete and a lot more of Sal last...</description>

<title>&apos;Drop Dead Diva&apos; saves me from my cancellation blues</title>

<guid isPermaLink="true">http://blog.zap2it.com/tvgal/2009/10/-let-me-just-warn.html</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Let me just warn everyone right now: I'm mighty cranky today. I'm talking the kind of cranky where no amount of dark chocolate peanut M&amp;M's can comfort me. Why? Because NBC has cancelled "Southland" before the show even premiered. The show was scheduled to return to the schedule for a second season on Friday, October...]]></description>

<title>Sherri Shepherd is funny, her show not so much</title>

<description><![CDATA[&nbsp; I don't think my life would be good as a sitcom. Oh look how hilarious it is that she sits at her computer all day long. Isn't it funny how sometimes she doesn't shower until 3 o'clock because she's so busy writing? What about her addiction to seltzer water and dark chocolate? That's comedy gold!...]]></description>
