Cheers To The Cast And Crew of 'Mad Men'! Now Get Back To Work

IGH. NO NEW EPISODE OF MAD MEN THIS WEEK. To get my usual fix, I had to tune into the snooze-fest known as the Emmys where the series raked in six awards, one of which being Best Drama, a first for a basic-cable show - — especially a show that’s good, but isn’t quite drawing in a record number of viewers.

You’d think that would be exciting, but no. This ceremony, topping out at an ass-flattening three hours, was completely boring! So I must confess, dear readers, that I didn’t exactly watch the whole damn thing. For a while there, I took my tumbler of vodka and retreated to the office to play Solitaire where I would get to choose my own design for my deck of cards and then maybe win a game or two! And that’s infinitely more exciting than sitting through the Best Craft Service award on a TV Show No One Gives a Fuck About.

Series creator Matt Weiner accepted his award and then used up his 5 seconds saying this: "I want to thank all the people that went before us in television to make a show like this because we're just channeling it every day and we love going to work." Yes, well, I want to thank you for that awesome plot line about Peggy being pregnant, and also for the answers as to where that baby went, but YOU’RE AT THE EMMYS INSTEAD OF PROVIDING ME WITH A NEW FUCKING EPISODE. Now, take your hard-earned awards and get back to work!
