DVR Alert: Mad Men Returns on AMC

If ever there was a TV series deserving of the hype, Mad Men on AMC is it. A spot-on evocation of the culture of the early Sixties (at least as I -- who was 10 years old when JFK was assassinated -- remember it), with richly drawn characters, perfect sets and costumes, and constant reminders of why America went through such turmoil later in the decade - the racism, sexism, bigotry, and boorishness that lit a thousand flames of protest. The series returns for its second season on AMC on July 27. If you didn't catch up with the first season, use the next couple of weeks to watch it On Demand from your local cable provider or on DVD.

So my only question about blogs is when do you have the time to write them? Overall, this seems way too well written, and entirely too reasonable. Isn't this violating some internet protocol?
