After 18 long months, Mad Men returned last night with a two-hour episode, bringing plenty of cocktails, office power plays, and surprise-party dance numbers along with it:
Don't let my fake laugh deceive you—I'm so pissed right now." - Don
Andi, Annalee, and I will be recapping Mad Men this season (just like we did with Project Runway All Stars). However, since we assume you watch the show too—and since there are plenty of summary recaps out there—we'll be picking and choosing parts we find most interesting to talk about each week. Be sure to join in in the comments!
It was the grand finale last night for our All Stars as joy, tears, and pantsuits filled the runway:
“It’s the story of a vampire from the 18th century who has lived many hundreds of years and now resides in Williamsburg, occasionally borrowing clothes from her Hasidic dandy friends.”
Well, Lifetime only gave us part one of the Project Runway All Stars finale last night, but we still got a sneak peek at what the designers have in store for the runway next week (hint: Fragonard's therapist on safari), and a few of our old faves returned to the workroom.
We stepped off the runway and into a Daft Punk video last night as our All Stars took on an electrified black light challenge. In addition to eternal glowing glory, the winner's look will be featured in a vaguely outlined Pharrell project!
One of these judges is embarrassed for the other three, and it's not the guy who lives for Teletubbies.
Our remaining six designers were taken to the U.N. and inspired by the flags of six different nations. Except for Jerell, who was inspired by stereotypes.
Welcome back to Pop Pedestal, where we take time to pay tribute to our favorite characters in pop culture. This week I'm choosing to celebrate the rose-growing, unicorn-loving, sharpshooting only child of the titular clan in King of the Hill, Bobby Hill.
All Parks and Rec fans know that February 13 is Galentine's Day in the fictional town of Pawnee. However, like other fictional-but-fun holidays before it (Festivus, Chrismukkah, Cheeseburger Picnic), Galentine's Day is worth celebrating in real life—if only for the breakfast.
It's like Lilith Fair without the angst. Plus frittatas.
Valentine's Day is a tricky holiday for TV shows, no matter if the characters are coupled or single, happy or miserable, or somewhere in between. The TNL lineup (and last week's Parks and Rec) all tackled February 14, with mixed results. Here's what worked, and what didn't in the Thursday night comedies' approach to Valentine's Day.
