It's over. After 8 years on the air, Mad Men ended this week. It was sometimes a little slow but offered up a great deal of wit, charm and sexy time. Probably among the best moments were the historically accurate timeline (MLK, Kennedy, Vietnam) and the spotlight on women in the workplace. Well done.

It took me about 3 episodes to be totally sold on BoJack Horseman - the new animated series from Netflix featuring the likes of Will Arnett, Amy Sedaris, Allison Brie, Patton Oswalt and Aaron Paul. It's a solid comedy and gritty without resorting to Seth McFarlene-esque mean jokes. Plus, the theme (written by Black Keys drummer Patrick Carney) is the dopest shit since RJD2 dropped that Mad Men joint on us.

Real talk? I'm just trying to figure out how I'm gonna make it a full year without new episodes of Mad Men. Dag.

Two things.....A) we're pulling the plug on cable this week. I've done this several times throughout my life but this is our first as a family. Cable is overpriced and tends to be a waste of time. We'll see what happens when football season comes back around but for now I'm all about this. This also means that I've watched my last episode of Mad Men during it's original broadcast time - which leads me to B) what the hell was "The Crash" all about? When it started to distort I felt a Twin Peaks vibe (which I'm all for) but in the end it felt more like Lost (not a good thing). Let's get back to shagging secretaries and pitching great ideas. Although, I did dig the Ken Cosgrove dance.

I love Mad Men, but I can't stand the "Fat Betty Draper" storyline. My understanding is that these scenes were shot when star January Jones was pregnant but it seems to carry a little more malice to it. This week we were treated to an overdose of Betty's cravings and diet struggles. No thanks. Let's get back to making ads and day-drinking.
