Even President Barack Obama enjoys Don Draper. Mad Men creator Matthew Weiner told Fox News that he framed a letter that the President sent him after Season 3. Said Weiner, “He was congratulating me on my and the show’s success, and I wanted to say, ‘But wait, you’re the successful person.'” [ Fox News ]

The final season of The Hills was more disappointing than the last season of The Wire , and MTV wasn’t even trying to force a goofy fake serial killer plot down our throats (though come to think of it, this final stroll with Kristin and Brody probably would have been more enjoyable if an imaginary murderer was terrorizing the Hollywood Hills). Instead, MTV assumed the role of the assassin by destroying what used to be a good franchise by making Kristin Cavallari the star and stripping the audience of its collective dignity, one incest joke at a time. On the eve of tonight’s series finale, here are the five reasons why the last season of The Hills was a complete letdown.

The Price is Right is more than a game show. It’s one of our richest traditions, an Easter-colored riot of sound effects, Plinko chips, Jenny-O products, Barker’s Beauties, and importance. We need its aggressively nostalgic appeal for sustenance, and our kids need its Jiffy Pop-sponsored comfort for sick days. But a new Esquire article sheds light on recent contestant Terry Kniess’s perfect showcase bid and casts some doubt (and a little applause) on the staggering perfection with which he bid $23,743 on a karaoke machine, pool table, and camper. Impressive, yes, but did jilted ex-producer Roger Dobkowitz clue in Kniess on the price? Instead of figuring out this mess, we’re ranking Kniess’s perfect bid as one of the five biggest game show scandals in history. Is it the biggest one ever? Join us for a historical rundown of the greatest game show scandals, hoaxes, and mysteries.

Need further proof that the summer is over? Fox became the second network in seven days to announce their plans for what’s ostensibly known as fall’s “Premiere Week,” and despite the looming presence of the Major League Baseball playoffs, they’ll be launching most of their new shows and old favorites during the pre-approved starting week of September 20. For Gleeks, that means they’re only 10 weeks away from watching how Ryan Murphy may squander all the goodwill he’s gotten in the last year — fingers crossed for a previously unreported serial killer plot! The full Fox schedule after the jump.

Characters matter as much as the slickly maneuvered capers and gorgeous Manhattan townhouses in USA’ s White Collar , which returns tonight for its second season. In the comedy-drama, Tim DeKay stars as brilliant FBI agent Peter Burke, who’s responsible for convincing Matthew Bomer’s con man character Neal Caffrey to continually use his forging knowledge for good, not evil. Throughout the process, the cop and criminal inevitably learn a lot about themselves, and as DeKay told Movieline last week, he’s learned plenty from his cable experience, too — including a new eye for interior decoration. DeKay rang us up to discuss the pleasures of guest star work (including his character “Bizarro Jerry” on Seinfeld ), his role on the sexually charged Tell Me You Love Me , and the one intimate scene he’d love to share with Matthew Bomer.

The Bachelorette went and did horrible things last night. Seriously, could Ali Fedotowsky botch this game of muscles and matrimony anymore? She picks the safest gents every week and eliminates anyone who emits mild verve or a vital sign. Is she scouting for mannequins? Is she casting a Kraftwerk video ? She certainly deep-sixed my favorite contestant last night, a bundle of Mattel abdominals and pearly whites who should be declared an intergalactic lifeguard god. But fear not: We have three combatants left to rank, so join me as I get petty fast.

Any future talk show guest even considering telling a story about psilocybin mushrooms, should refer to Nicolas Cage’s Late Show segment last night and bow down. Within ten seconds of his introduction, the actor launched into a buddy adventure story about his groovy night with his pet cat Louis sometime back in the ’70s. Click through for that expertly delivered anecdote as well as the other highlights you missed last night while trying to defend Mel Gibson’s racist rant .

“Poison pen” biographer Kitty Kelley struck gold with her latest unauthorized biography, that of #1 mortal Oprah Winfrey, and Deadline is reporting the inevitable (but still titillating!) news of an upcoming TV biopic adaptation . The art of the TV biopic is sorely maligned, and I hold the naive belief that a decent Oprah biography could redeem the canon of Lifetime-ready Dana Plato and Nadia Comaneci yarns. Quick, let’s cast this epic while we still have time to influence the filmmakers (and persuade notable actors to withstand the real Oprah’s disapproval).

HBO has ordered another morbid pilot from Alan Ball , the man who brought the network Six Feet Under and True Blood . All Signs of Death , based on Charlie Huston’s 2009 crime noir book The Mystic Arts of Erasing All Signs of Death is a Los Angeles-set black comedy featuring “an inveterate twenty-something slacker who stumbles into a career as a crime scene cleaner, only to find himself entangled with a murder mystery, a femme fatale and the loose ends of his own past.” So no neck-twistings , then?

Scathing critiques aren’t just for M. Night Shyamalan anymore ! Regardless of whether or not you follow, like or frankly detest sports, ESPN’ s Thursday night special LeBron James: The Decision made for some pretty audacious television. Which is to say, audaciously terrible . If you always thought watching The Bachelor amounted to a bankruptcy of taste, at least that process has some trashy entertainment value going for it. The ritualistic, commodified probing of James — who announced his free-agency agreement with the Miami Heat — couldn’t have been more cynical or depressing if it tried. But don’t take my word for it. Let’s hear it from the rest of the diverse, aggrieved class that still can’t believe they just saw that.
