‘Whaddya Say We Get Outta Here and Really Celebrate?’: Mad Men Recapped

You know what would have been really awkward? How about if Mad Men had not earned a 2010 Emmy nomination for Best Dramatic Series (let alone a win ), thus making Sunday night’s episode about Don’s big victory at the Clio Awards — and the drunken two-day bender that followed — one big swing and miss at a fat meta fastball over the heart of the plate? Then we would have had an average episode and an embarrassed Matthew Weiner, and heaven knows that just won’t do.

Big Brother Repulsion Index: Chumscrubbing with CBS

In case you were not clear why the Repulsion Index is a fitting recap for Big Brother , let me just explain that in last night’s episode, producers handcuffed Britney to her sworn enemy for 24 hours and subjected the bound couple to hourly chum baths. Let’s see how that horror show, along with last night’s POV competition — which caged each of the houseguests like they were wild animals — shook up the Index.

Jersey Shore Fresh-to-Death Report Card: ‘Breaking Up’

‘Breaking Up,’ the name of this week’s Jersey Shore episode, is easy to do — or at least easier when Ronnie’s calling you a bitch and getting humpity with barn animals at every club in Miami. But of course, Sammi’s still in the dark about Ronnie’s devious actions, which makes this week’s Fresh-to-Death Report Card a real study in class and morals (as always, I mean). Grades are posted after the jump!

The silver-topped_Mad Men_ regular made his series directing debut Sunday with flying colors — both figuratively and literally, as the episode was also among the best-shot in three-plus seasons to date. And they didn’t even have to slum in California or introduce outrageous new subplots to do it. Somebody! Unjump the shark!
