Quiet Pool at TV Fanatic- Mad Men's 'Public Relations'

The head honcho over at TV Fanatic, the one known as M.L. House, is off this week. What did this mean for me? A bump up to the big leagues. Today over there, I got to review the season four premiere of Mad Men. As a show I enjoy quite a bit more than Hung, I was extremely pleased to get the job.

Like myself, some of the Poolie readers have had a tough time getting into Mad Men. It is slow, and even boring at times, but watching the quality of writing on this show makes up for it most of the time. Things definitely started to pick up the second half of last season, ending with one of the best episodes of last year, the season three finale "Shut the Door. Have a Seat."

Season four's premiere was quite up to that level, but it was still fantastic. This week over at TV Fanatic I discuss how Don's talents as an ad man led to a strange irony, along with much more. A lot happened since we left the Mad Men crew, and a lot happened in this one hour of television. We see the new Sterling Cooper Draper Price working out of a make-shift office building, the new Draper family situation is explored for the first time, and Donald Draper learns a new way to sell both himself and the agency.

So whether you're a fan of Mad Men or just want to trash on it (or my review), head over to TV Fanatic. You can comment on how I don't deserve to write for such a good show, or just read some of the great quotes from this week's premiere episode.
