The Long Goodbye For Mad Men

AMC, following their strategy for the final season of Breaking Bad, has decided to air Mad Men's (which launched their Original Series brand) final season in two installments. The first 7 episodes (The Beginning) will run in spring 2014 and the final 7 (The End of An Era) will air spring 2015. Creator Matthew Weiner believes the two installments for the final season will allow him to create a "more elaborate story."
We're not sure if it feels like prolonging the death of someone who is near and dear to you or if it's the feeling of not wanting to let go. Bad boy Don Draper has become part of conscious, as have the other cast members. We discuss the shows as they air and the day after. We hope Weiner will find a life for some of these characters somewhere (as Sex in the City did). We want to know if Don Draper becomes an ultra-right republican in his old age.

Politics Becoming Popular Spectator Sport

Image
Politics TCC started down this road with a post yesterday, Funny Response to Trump Tweetstorm , that was a GIFF poking fun at White House press secretary Sean Spicer's response to President Trump's cell phone usage to tweet. Politics seems to be a uniting force, both pro and against Trump, on social media and in everyday conversations with Americans commenting, "Did you hear..." "How about..."  "Can you believe...." Stephen Colbert , host of CBS ' "Late Night with Stephen Colbert",  has moved from 2nd place to 1st since the inauguration of Trump. Other late-night hosts are also experiencing a boost in ratings as it appears Americans are using these vehicles as either proof of political views (confirmation or conspiracy) or just as a coping mechanism. Each day Trump seems provide new fodder for late-night television hosts to sink their teeth into.  clipartfox.com

Looks Like Kerry Washington Couldn't Fix SNL

Image
Reviews for Kerry Washington's appearance on SNL , considering Saturday Night Live was dealing with a very public issue concerning the lack of black females on the show, seems to have focused the diversity problem (like a laser) on the writing staff as well. Could diversity among the writing staff be the issue, too?
