EJ I was off the Round Table last week, so I didn’t get the chance to note the brief appearance of Aloma “Nurse Laverne” Wright as the nurse. My dreams for a Mad Men / Scrubs crossover are coming ever closer to fruition. So, last week, Myndi used the phrase […]

Mad Men Roundtable: Season 2, Episode 10 – “The Inheritance” (Oct 7)
Don (not Draper) Sometimes Mad Men is ‘smart’, but sometimes its just creepy. And by ‘creepy’ I mean a 12-year-old boy making moves on a 30-something mother of two. Or a confused father groping his grown daughter because she resembles her own mother. While Atlas Shrugged is often cited as […]
